Alti-IP 600 Manual

10

General

Allows you to specify the IP address of the AltiServ system

the Alti-IP 600 phone is connected to. The version of
software associated with AltiServ is automatically displayed
in the Version field.

To allow the extension user to have password-protected
configuration functionality from the phone itself, check the
Enable Config Password checkbox and assign a numerical
password. When the extension user attempts to configure
features, the user will need to enter the assigned password to
proceed.

Display
Workgroup
Status

When enabled, allows the Alti-IP 600 phone to display
workgroup queue status. While the agent is in idle state, the
first line of the LCD displays the number of queued calls, the
current longest queue time, and the last four digits of the
workgroup number; the second line shows the agent state.
(See “Workgroup Status Display” on page 28 for detailed
information).

H.323

Allows you to set the Jitter Buffer in milliseconds, the delay
used to buffer voice packets received from the IP network.
The Jitter Buffer should be adjusted according to the WAN
bandwidth allocated to data traffic.

To allow NAT support for the IP extension, check the
Enable NAT button and enter the public IP address of the
NAT router.

TFTP

Allows you to assign the TFTP Server to which the IP phone
can connect to for updating firmware when necessary. Enter
the IP address of the TFTP Server in the Server field.

To update IP phone image, the administrator can check the
Reset IP Phone and Boot Download checkbox options to
reset and download image to update the phone.

Debug

When enabled, allows the Alti-IP 600 phone to connect to
Telnet for debugging.
