1. Introduction
The ALE M3-M5-M7-M8 DeskPhones Administrator Guide provides general guidance on setting up phone
network, provisioning and managing phones.
This guide is not intended for end users, but for administrators with experience in networking who
understand the basics of open SIP networks and VoIP endpoint environments.
As an administrator, you can do the following with this guide:
•Set up a VoIP network and provisioning server
•Provision the phone with features and settings
•Upgrade and maintain phones
This guide is applicable to the following ALE Myriad Series devices running firmware version R130.
•The ALE Myriad Series phones including ALE M3/M5/M7/M8
The example is shown as below:

2. Phone Network
The ALE Myriad Series phones operate on an Ethernet local area network (LAN) or wireless network.
2.1 IPv4 and IPv6 Network Settings
The ALE Myriad Series phones support IPv4 addressing mode and IPv6 addressing mode.
After connecting to the wired network, the phones can obtain the IPv4 or IPv6 network settings from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server if your network supports it. To make it easier to manage
IP settings, we recommend you use automated DHCP which can eliminate repetitive manual data entry.
You can also configure IPv4 or IPv6 network settings manually.
Note: The ALE Myriad Series phones comply with the DHCPv4 specifications documented in RFC 2131, and
DHCPv6 specifications documented in RFC 3315.
In DHCP mode, if the phone cannot get IP address, the IP address in status menu will be displayed as
“0.0.0.0” and prompt “network unavailable” message.
2.1.1 IP Addressing Mode Configuration
The following table lists the parameter you can use to configure the IP addressing mode.

2.1.3 IPv6 Configuration
To configure the network settings on the phone for an IPv6 network, you can set up an IP address for the
phone by using SLAAC (ICMPv6), DHCPv6 or by manually entering an IP address. Ensure that your network
environment supports IPv6. Contact your ISP for more information.
When you enable both SLAAC and DHCPv6 on the phone, the server can specify the IP phone to obtain the
IPv6 address and other network settings either from SLAAC or from DHCPv6. If the SLAAC server is not
working, the IP phone will try to obtain the IPv6 address and other network settings via DHCPv6.
The following table lists the parameters you can use to configure IPv6.

2.2.4 DHCP Option 12
You can specify a hostname for the phone when using DHCP. The DHCP client uses option 12 to send a
predefined hostname to the DHCP registration server. The name may or may not be qualified with the local
domain name (based on RFC 2132). See RFC 1035 for character phone restrictions.
2.2.5 DHCP Option 132
The ALE Myriad Series phones support configuring DHCP option 132 to define 802.1Q VLAN ID.
2.2.6 DHCP Option 133
The ALE Myriad Series phones support configuring DHCP option 133 to define 802.1p LAYER 2 priority for
SIP/RTP.
2.2.7 DHCP Option 100
The IP phones support configuring DHCP option 100 to define time zone.
The format of the POSIX specifier is <name><offset><dst name><dst offset><dstrule>
•<name> is the name of the timezone when not in daylight savings (e.g., GMT, PST, NZST)
•<offset> is the offset added to the local time to get UTC, specified as [+|-]hh[:mm[:ss]] (eg 0, 8, -12)
•<dst name> is the name of the timezone when in daylight savings (eg BST, PDT, NZDT)
•<dst offset> is the offset added to the local time to get UTC during daylight savings, similarly
specified as [+|-]hh[:mm[:ss]]
Examples:
•London: GMT0BST1,M3.5.0/1:00:00,M10.5.0/2:00:00
•Los Angeles: PST8PDT,M3.2.0/2:00:00,M11.1.0/2:00:00

server address. The priority of obtaining the provisioning server address is as follows: option 17→option 59.
2.4 VLAN
The purpose of VLAN configurations on the IP phone is to insert a tag with VLAN information to the packets
generated by the IP phone. When VLAN is properly configured for the ports (Internet port and PC port) on
the IP phone, the IP phone will tag all packets from these ports with the VLAN ID. The switch receives and
forwards the tagged packets to the corresponding VLAN according to the VLAN ID in the tag as described in
IEEE Std 802.3.
VLAN on IP phones allows simultaneous access to a regular PC. This feature allows a PC to be daisy
chained to an IP phone and the connection for both PC and IP phone to be trunked through the same
physical Ethernet cable.
In addition to manual configuration, the IP phone also supports automatic discovery of VLAN via LLDP or
DHCP. The assignment takes effect in this order: assignment via LLDP, assignment via DHCP, and then
manual configuration.
2.4.1 LLDP Configuration
LLDP (Linker Layer Discovery Protocol) is a vendor-neutral link layer protocol, which allows IP phones to
receive and/or transmit device-related information from/to directly connected devices on the network that are
also using the protocol, and store the information about other devices.
When LLDP feature is enabled on IP phones, the IP phones periodically advertise their own information to
the directly connected LLDP-enabled switch. The IP phones can also receive LLDP packets from the
connected switch. When the application type is “voice”, the IP phones decide whether to update the VLAN
configurations obtained from the LLDP packets. When the VLAN configurations on the IP phones are
different from the ones sent by the switch, the IP phones perform an update and reboot. This allows the IP
phones to plug into any switch, obtain their VLAN IDs, and then start communications with the call control.
The following table lists the parameters you can use to configure LLDP.

2.4.3 DHCP VLAN
The ALE Myriad Series phones support VLAN discovery via DHCP. The predefined Option 43→Option 58 is
used to supply the VLAN ID by default. And Option 58 has higher priority than Option 132.
2.5 Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi feature enables you to connect the phones to the organization’s wireless network. The wireless
network is more convenient and cost-effective than the wired network. Wi-Fi feature is applicable to the ALE
Myriad Series phones.
When the Wi-Fi feature is enabled, the IP phone will automatically scan the available wireless networks. All
the available wireless networks will display in scanning list on the phone screen.
You can store up to 5 frequently used wireless networks on your phone.
You can configure for the ALE Myriad Series phones: Basic Setting →Wi-Fi →Wi-Fi Manager (phone user
interface).
Note: To use Wi-Fi feature on the ALE Myriad Series phones M3/M5/M7, make sure the Wi-Fi USB dongle is
properly connected to the USB port on the phone. The Wi-Fi USB dongle should be purchased separately.
For M8, Wi-Fi is built-in. Wi-Fi USB dongle which is connected to the phone USB port is not supported for
M8.
The M3/M5/M7/M8 phones support storing up to 5 frequently used wireless networks on your phone and
specifying the priority for them. You can configure the priority of AP by pressing the “Move up” or “Move
down” button as indicated in the following screenshots.
The phones also provide the Wi-Fi status showing the information of currently connected Wi-Fi.

2.6 Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a function that allows multiple devices to share the same public
routable IP address to establish connections over the Internet. NAT is present in many broadband access
devices to translate public and private IP address.
The ALE Myriad Series phones can work with Rport type of NAT.
2.6.1 Rport Configuration
The ALE Myriad Series phones support Rport described in RFC 3581. It allows a client to request that the
server sends the response back to the source port from which the request came.
Rport feature needs support from SIP server.
The following table lists the parameter you can use to configure Rport.
Parameter
AccountXRportEnable
config.xml
Description
It enables or disables the NAT Rport feature.
Note: X means account ID and it can be number 1~8 for M3/M5/M7, 1-20 for M8.
