CONNECTING THE IP PHONE
The figure below shows the cable connections for your IP phone. The LAN and desktop PC connections
employ standard Category 5 cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors. The FortiFone-450i/FortiFone-550i
supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) in accordance with the IEEE-802.1af Class 2 standard. When connected
to a PoE compliant LAN port, the IP Phone derives power from the port. If the LAN port does not support
PoE, use the AC/DC adaptor. The handset connects to the base with the coiled handset cord.

VLAN Settings
VLAN settings define the Ethernet frame priority and VLAN identification in accordance with IEEE 802.1p/Q
standards. Separate VLAN tags are assigned for the IP phone PC port and the LAN (voice) port. With a VLAN
ID assigned, only frames with the assigned ID are accepted, and all SIP and voice frames sent by the
FortiFone-450i/FortiFone-550i include the VLAN ID assigned to the LAN port. FortiVoice phone systems do not
support VLAN tagging so this should not be used with FortiVoice phone system deployments.
VLAN Priority (LAN)
The VLAN Priority (LAN) establishes the priority for Ethernet frames from the LAN port including signaling
and voice packets. Setting the VLAN ID to zero (0) disables VLAN framing and the IP phone uses only
standard Ethernet frames.
To assign VLAN Priority for the LAN (voice) port:
For proper operation, other network elements (LAN switches and default gateway) must support and be configured
with proper VLAN parameters.
VLAN settings are overwritten if CDP is enabled.
Changing the VLAN parameters requires a reboot of the IP phone. When you exit the menu, you will receive a reboot
notice. The phone must be rebooted to use the new values.

SIP CONFIGURATION
The SIP Configuration section contains parameters related to SIP accounts, line appearance, and other
parameters that allow the phone to register and, if required, subscribe for the line appearance with the
appropriate SIP server or PBX.
Lines are assigned to the phone’s flexible buttons in consecutive order from the first button. For each line,
the following parameters are available:
• Call Server IP address
• Authorization ID and password
•Linetype
• Special line attributes
As a default, the maximum number of lines is two. When the IP phone requires more than two (2) lines,
use the Web Manager or configuration file to change the number of lines and line parameters.
SIP Configuration, Line Parameters
Assign parameters in this section for each SIP line.
SIP Server Address
The SIP Server Address is the IP address or FQDN of the SIP server or PBX. Different SIP servers can be
defined for each line.
To assign the Call Server address:
• Press the button, then select 2. SIP Configuration, then 1. Line Configuration.
• Enter the line button number or move the cursor using the Down softkey and press the Select softkey
to select a line.
•Select1. SIP Server Address.
• Input the SIP Server Address or FQDN using the dial pad and press
the OK softkey to save your entry.
At a minimum, assign the first line button as an appearance of the user's line. For features where the IP phone uses
one-button line access such as Speed Dial, the IP phone uses the first line button for the call.
Changing the SIP Server Address requires a reboot of the phone. When you exit the menu, you will receive a reboot
notice.
To enter alphanumeric characters select the Mode softkey.
