Upgrade Notes
This section provides notes that customers should be aware of before upgrading to
IP phone firmware release 1.4.1. Aastra Telecom recommends that customers read
this section completely and thoroughly prior to the upgrade to avoid any known
issues with the upgrade process.
• The recommended base IP Phone firmware to upgrade to this new firmware
release is 1.2.2 or above.
• Users who previously adjusted the audio transmit and receive gains for the
Aastra IP Phones should reset the values to "0" and re-tune their phones again
with release 1.4.1 if necessary. This is required to avoid high transmit levels
heard by the far-end after upgrading to 1.4.1. To set audio transmit and
receive gains in the 1.4.1 configuration files, see the SIP IP Phone
Administrator Guide Release 1.4 or the SIP IP Phone Release Notes Version
1.3.1.
• Users upgrading from release 1.2.2 to 1.4.1 may experience post-upgrade
configuration issues IF they previously configured their phones solely using
the telephone user interface or Aastra Web user interface. Users may need to
reconfigure their settings again after the upgrade due to new file system
enhancements. This issue does not affect customers who configure their
phones using a TFTP/FTP/HTTP server.
• Users who wish to downgrade from release 1.4.1 to 1.2 must downgrade to
release 1.2.2 prior to downgrading to release 1.2, in order to restore file
system structure. Failure to downgrade to version 1.2.2 first may result in
configuration parameters being ignored.

SIP IP Phone Models 480i, 480i CT, 9112i, 9133i Release Notes
Prefix Dialing
The IP phones now support a prefix dialing feature for outgoing calls.
How it works
You can manually dial a number or dial a number from a list. The phone
automatically maps the pre-configured prepended digit in the configuration, to the
outgoing number. When a match is found, the prepended digits are added to the
beginning of the dial string and the call is dialed.
You can enable this feature by adding a prepend digit(s) to the end of the Local
Dial Plan parameter string in the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI at
Basic Settings->Preferences->General.
For example, if you add a prepend map of “[2-9]XXXXXXXXX,91”, the IP
phone adds the digits “91” to any 10-digit number beginning with any digit from 2
to 9 that is dialed out. Other examples of prepend mappings are:
•1X+#,9 (Prepends 9 to any digit string beginning with “1” and terminated
with “#”.)
•6XXX,579 (Prepends “579” to any 4-digit string starting with “6”.)
•
[4-6]XXXXXX,78 (Prepends “78” to any 7-digit string starting with “4”, “5”, or “6”.)
Note: The prepend digits are also added if the dialing times-out on a
partial match.
Note: You can configure a local dial plan via the configuration files or
the Aastra Web UI.

New Features in 1.4.1

IP Phone Release Notes 1.4.1
Example
If you enter the following dial string for a local dial plan:
sip dial plan: 1+#,9
where “9” is the prepended digit, and you dial the following number:
15551212
the IP phone automatically adds the “9” digit to the beginning of the dialed
number before the number is forwarded as 915551212.
Configuring via the Configuration Files
You use the following parameter to configure local dial plan with a prepended
digit(s).
Parameter –
sip dial plan
Local Dial Plan
(in Web UI)
Aastra Web UI Basic Settings->Preferences
Configuration Files aastra.cfg, <mac>.cfg
Description A dial plan describes the number and pattern of digits that a user dials to
reach a particular telephone number. The SIP local dial plan is as follows:
Symbol Description
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Digit symbol
X Match any digit symbol (wildcard)
*, #, . Other keypad symbol
| Expression inclusive OR
+ 0 or more of the preceding digit symbol
or [] expression
[] Symbol inclusive OR
- Used only with [], represent a range of
acceptable symbols; For example, [2-8]
“,” (open/close quotes) In the configuration files, enter the sip dial
plan value using quotes.
Note: You can configure prefix dialing by adding a prepend digit to the
dial string. For example, if you add a prepend map of
“[2-9]XXXXXXXXX,91”, the IP phone adds the digits “91” to any 10-digit
number beginning with any digit from 2 to 9 that is dialed out. Other
examples of prepend mappings are:
•1X+#,9 (
•6XXX,579 (Prepends “579” to any 4-digit string starting with “6”.)
•[4-6]XXXXXX,78 (Prepends “78” to any 7-digit string starting with “4”,
“5”, or “6”.

IP Phone Release Notes 1.4.1
XML Objects and Enhancements
The following paragraphs describe the XML enhancements in release 1.4.1.
XML: AastraIPPhoneStatus object
A new XML AastraIPPhoneStatus object has been implemented on the IP
phones. This object provides the ability to display a status message on a single
designated line on the phone’s idle screen when XML information is pushed from
the servers.
The 480i/480i CT phones display messages on the second line in the phone
window. (where “No Service” would display if there was no service. If there is no
service on the phone, the “No Service” message overrides the XML object
message). The 9112i/9133i phones display messages on the first line (overriding
the DisplayName). Long messages that are wider then the phone screen get
truncated.
If the phone receives multiple messages, the first message received displays first
and the remaining messages scroll consecutively one at a time. Messages remain
displayed until they are removed (by the server) or the phone reboots. The
AastraIPPhoneStatus object feature is always enabled.
AastraIPPhoneStatus Structure
The AastraIPPhoneStatus object describes the structure of the XML document
that is used to send status messages to the phone. The basic structure of the
AastraIPPhoneStatus object is:
<AastraIPPhoneStatus>
<Session>My session ID</Session>
<Message index="Msg index">Message</Message>
<! -- Additional status messages may be added under new Message tags-->
<AastraIPPhoneStatus/>
Note: You can set the amount of time, in seconds, that a message displays
to the phone before scrolling to the next message. For more information
about this feature, see “Scroll Delay Option” on page 21.
