3.5 Licensing
Operating the Aastra 800 communications system requires to purchase the nec-
essary software license. The Aastra 800 provides basic licenses (see also the
chapter entitled Technical Specifications starting on page 127) which cover basic
features and are sufficient for many applications. If you need additional or
enhanced features, you can purchase additional activation keys and activate them
in the Configurator on the System: Licences page.
Note, that the serial number displayed on the System: Licences page is specific for
your PC system. Entered activation keys are valid only for this serial number. You
need new activation keys, if the serial number changes. Contact your dealer or the
Aastra DeTeWe sales department for new activation keys if required.
3.6 LAN Integration
In order for VoIP telephony to function in a Local Area Network (LAN), the
Aastra 800 communications system must be able to communicate with the VoIP
devices hooked up to the LAN. To do so, the Aastra 800 communications system
generally uses the network functions of the operating system used.
In an existing LAN, you usually already have the Internet Protocol (IP) for net-
working computers in use. The installation and commissioning of the Aastra 800
communications system on a running Windows operating system networked with
IP can thus be done quickly and with little complication. This chapter explains the
technical details that are important for operating the Aastra 800 communications
system.
3.6.1 Configuring a Fixed IP Address
The server computer where the Aastra 800 communications system will be
installed and run requires a LAN connection with the IP protocol. The fixed IP
address of the LAN connection must be set manually. The IP address you have to
use for the Aastra 800 communications system should be coordinated with the
network administrator in charge.
Do not configure a dynamic DHCP-assigned IP address for the LAN connection.
When a IP address change is initiated via DHCP on occasion, for example, all
ongoing VoIP connections will be interrupted without prior warning. You may pos-
sibly have to even restart connected VoIP devices. During installation the instal-
