Configuring Your IP Phone for Remote Office
Setup
Overview
AastraLink Pro supports the use of IP phones in remote locations, such as home
office or other routable networks, where an insecure network conected via
Network Address Translating (NAT) firewalls, such as the public Internet or
WAN, is used between the central AastraLink server and the remote user.
Using an IP phone in a remote office configuration requires that:
1. The IP phone be correctly configured to connect back to the office router
2. The local router supports NAT traversal (via UPnP or static port-forwarding)
Configuring the remote phone
Pre-staged phones
You can configure IP Phones by pre-staging them. This consists of connecting the
phone on the AastraLink LAN and registering the phone, before taking it to the
remote location. Refer to “Connecting Your IP Phone to the AastraLink Pro 160
Network From a Remote Office” on page C-4.
Non Pre-staged phones
For phones that are not pre-staged, the administrator must manually add the phone
registration details (MAC address, user name and extension number) before the
phone is able to connect. Refer to the administrators guide for additional
information. After the registration details have been entered, connect the phone
using the procedure, “Connecting Your IP Phone to the AastraLink Pro 160
Network From a Remote Office” on page C-4.
