Installing the FON-450i/FON-550i
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
FON-450i/FON-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.
Figure 2: IP phone connections
Wiring Chart
1 LAN Connect the IP phone LAN port to the LAN wall jack with the provided
Ethernet cable.
2PC Optionally connect the IP phone PC port to your desktop PC with an Ethernet
cable (not supplied).
3 Power If the LAN port supports PoE then the power adapter is not required. If PoE is
not supported on the LAN, connect the power adapter to the power jack on
phone.

Fortinet Technologies Inc. Page 6 FON-450i and FON-550i Telephones User Guide

separation of 10 cm (4”).
• Insert two anchors into the holes, then insert and tighten the two screws (not included)
leaving about 2.5 mm (1/8”) exposed.
• Attach all wiring to the phone.
• Slide the phone over the screws and ensure the phone is secure. Note it may be necessary
to remove the phone and tighten or loosen the screws for secure mounting. Also note, the
stand must not be attached to the phone when mounting on a wall.
• Remove the handset hook from the phone as shown in the figure below. Reverse the hook
and re-install in the phone so that the hook catches the groove in the handset receiver.
• Complete all wiring.

Provisioning the FON-450i/FON-550i with FortiVoice
If using the phone with FortiVoice, please refer to “Adding IP Phones” in Chapter 2 of the
FortiVoice User Guide for configuring the extensions in the FortiVoice software.
Provisioning the FON-450i/FON-550i for use with an alternate system
The FON-450i/FON-550i phone supports manual configuration when the automated process is
not available. As a minimum, the FON-450i/FON-550i requires the information below for proper
operation.
Line 1 SIP parameters including:
• Line 1 SIP call server IP address
• Line 1 Name (SIP user id)
• Line 1 Authentication user name
• Line 1 Authentication password

Fortinet Technologies Inc. Page 8 FON-450i and FON-550i Telephones User Guide
In addition, using static IP addressing requires manual entry of the following IP network
configuration data.
• IP address of the phone
• Default gateway address
• Subnet mask
Two methods are available for manual configuration. The LCD Configuration Menu permits local
configuration using the dial pad and softkeys. The second method employs the
FON-450i/FON-550i Web Manager, which allows access to the IP phone configuration using a
Web browser. If configuring the phone for the first time, it is recommended that you use the Web
browser as it will save considerable time for the setup process.

Network Configuration
The Network Configuration menu allows the access and configuration of the network
parameters for the phone.
Network Mode
The phone is capable of obtaining all of its IP configuration data from a DHCP server. When a
DHCP server is not available, static address parameters can be used. Selecting Static requires
the manual entry of other several network parameters including:
• IP address of the phone
• Default gateway IP address
• Subnet mask
• DNS address
To set the Network Mode:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 1. Network Mode.
• Scroll the Network Mode options using the Down softkey and
press Select to select a Mode.
After any network configuration changes, you will receive a reboot notice. Changing network parameters
requires a reboot of the phone before the new values can be used. Networking parameters can only be
changed when the mode is set to Static.

Fortinet Technologies Inc. Page 11 FON-450i and FON-550i Telephones User Guide
IP Address
By default the phone is configured to use DHCP to automatically assign an IP address and
other LAN parameters. Assigning a static address for the Network Mode requires manual entry
of an IP address and other parameters stated in the previous section. The phone requires a
valid available IP address for proper operation.
To set the IP Address:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 2. IP Address.
• Input the IP Address using the dial pad and press the OK
softkey to save the changes.
Subnet Mask
Selecting static addressing for the Network Mode requires manual entry of a subnet mask. The
IP phone requires a valid subnet for proper operation.
To enter the Subnet Mask:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 3. Subnet.
• Input the Subnet Mask using the dial pad and press the OK
softkey to save the changes.
Default Gateway
Selecting static addressing for the Network Mode requires manual entry of a default gateway
address. The IP Phone requires a valid default gateway address for proper operation.
To assign the Default Gateway address:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 4. Default Gateway.
• Input the Default Gateway IP address using the dial pad and
press the OK softkey to save the changes.

Primary DNS Address
The phone uses the primary DNS server to resolve any FQDN entries to an IP address.
To assign the Primary DNS Address:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 5. Primary DNS Address.
• Input the Primary DNS Address using the dial pad and press the
OK softkey to save the changes.
Secondary DNS Address
Should the primary not respond, the phone will use the secondary DNS for FQDN resolution.
This is an optional but recommended setting.
To assign the Secondary DNS Address:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 6. Secondary DNS Address.
• Input the Secondary DNS Address using the dial pad and press
the OK softkey to save changes.
MAC Address
To view the MAC address assigned and used by the phone:
• Press the button, then select 1. Network Configuration, then 7. MAC Address.
• The MAC address of the phone will be visible and should match
the one listed on the label on the bottom of the phone.
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 FON-450i/FON-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.
FON-550i screen
FON-550i screen
FON-550i screen
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.

Fortinet Technologies Inc. Page 13 FON-450i and FON-550i Telephones User Guide
