Freshtel Sipura SPA-841 Quick guide

Sipura SPA-841
Automatic Configuration Instructions
Step 1: Connect the Sipura SPA-841 to your broadband
connection
1. Connect the SPA-841 to your network via Ethernet and attach the power connector to
the rear of the phone.
Step 2: Verify Configure your IP Address
First we need to verify that your SPA-841 will acquire an IP Address automatically if
your network supports DHCP.
If your network uses a D CP Server to assign IP Addresses to network devices, or if you are
connecting the SPA-841 to a home router such as a Linksys or Netgear router or a modem
that supports D CP/NAT, please do the following:
1. Press the phone's i button, located at the bottom right corner of the keypad. This
brings up the phone's configuration menu.
2. Press 9 to enter the network configuration area.
3. Check that DHCP Enable is set to Yes.
4. If D CP Enable is set to No, turn it on: press edit, then y/n, then ok. To apply this
change, press save, type 12 and press ok; the phone will restart with D CP enabled.

Next, we must veri y that the SPA-841 has a valid IP Address:
1. Press the phone's i button, located at the bottom right corner of the keypad. This
brings up the phone's configuration menu.
2. Press 9 to enter the network configuration area.
3. Note the value of Current IP.
I the IP is 0.0.0.0, your SPA-841 does not have a valid IP address. In this case
you need to:
4. ang up the phone, unplug your SPA-841 power cord, wait one minute then
reconnect.
5. Wait 2 minutes, and check the IP again.
6. If you still get 0.0.0.0, there can be two reasons for this:
a. Your D CP Server is not assigning an IP address to the SPA-841 (in which
case you should contact your network administrator or ISP for assistance).
b. Your network does not have a D CP server or you have purchased a Static
IP Address for the SPA-841 from your ISP. In this case, please proceed to
Manually Assigning a Static IP Address below, otherwise skip this step.

Manually Assigning a Static IP Address
Members using static IP on their home network may wish to configure the adaptor
with static IP. If you have obtained a static IP from your internet service provider (ISP)
and wish to configure your adaptor with your static IP settings, please follow the
instructions below:
1. You will first have to obtain the following information:
• IP Address • Default Gateway • Subnet Mask
If you are using a router, please contact your router manufacturer for
instructions on retrieving this information from the router directly. If you are
not using a router, please obtain the above information from your ISP.
2. Press the phone's i button, located at the bottom right corner of the keypad.
This brings up the phone's configuration menu.
3. Press 9 to enter the network configuration area.
4. Check that DHCP Enable is set to No.
5. If D CP Enable is set to Yes, turn it off: press edit, then y/n, then ok.
6. Scroll down to Non-DHCP IP Address, press edit and enter your SPA-841's
IP address (using * to represent “.” eg. 123*45*67*89 to represent the IP
address 123.45.67.89). Press ok to save the setting.
7. Scroll down to Non-DHCP Subnet Mask, press edit and enter your IP
subnet mask (using * to represent “.” eg. 255*255*255*0 to represent the
mask 255.255.255.0). Press ok to save the setting.
8. Scroll down to Non-DHCP De ault Route, press edit and enter your Internet
gateway's IP address (using * to represent “.” eg. 123*45*67*1 to represent
the IP address 123.45.67.1). If using an ADSL or cable Internet modem, this
address may be your modem's intranet address. Press ok to save the setting.
9. Scroll down to Non-DHCP DNS 1, press edit and enter your primary DNS
server's IP address (using * to represent “.” eg. 123*45*67*1 to represent the
IP address 123.45.67.1). If using an ADSL or cable Internet modem, this
address may be your modem's intranet address; otherwise, use the primary
DNS server address provided by your ISP. Press ok to save the setting.
10. Scroll down to Non-DHCP DNS 2, press edit and enter your secondary DNS
server's IP address (using * to represent “.” eg. 123*45*67*2 to represent the
IP address 123.45.67.2). This will normally be the secondary DNS server
address provided by your ISP. Press ok to save the setting.
11. Scroll down to Non-DHCP NTP Server 1, press edit and enter pool.ntp.org
(using keys 2-9 to represent letters, ie. 7666 6665*6687*6667774). Press ok
to save the setting.

12. Scroll down to Non-DHCP NTP Server 2, press edit and enter time.nist.gov
(using keys 2-9 to represent letters, ie. 8444633*6644477778*4666888).
Press ok to save the setting.
13. To apply these changes, press save, type 12 and press ok; the phone will
restart with D CP enabled.
You have now completed the static IP con iguration.
To verify that the configuration was correct, press the i button, then 9. Note the value
of Current IP; if it is not the same as what you entered, please repeat steps 1 through
12 to ensure that the settings are correct.

Step 3: Configure the SPA-841 to connect to the Firefly Network
1. Open your configuration page. To do so, type the following into your web browser:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/advanced
("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" represents the IP address of your SPA-841).
2. Click on the Provisioning menu.
3. In the text box marked Pro ile Rule enter one of the following addresses, based on
your location. If you have configured a local dialing pre ix for your account via the
Freshtel website, use one of the Local Prefix addresses; otherwise, use one of
the other addresses. Each of these configuration files has been modified to provide
the correct settings for your local country.
(NOTE the underscores in “sipura_spa-841” and “initial_xx” – to be sure, copy and
paste the appropriate line into the Pro ile Rule field instead of typing it).

instruct the phone to upgrade its firmware. Eg, for an IP address of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:
2. You can now enter your Firefly details into the Ext 1 (and optionally Ext 2)
configuration areas. Enter your Display Name, User ID (this is your Firefly number)
and Password.

(NOTE the underscore in “sipura_spa-841” – to be sure, copy and paste the above line)
3. Click on the Submit All Changes button.
Your Sipura SPA-841 is now fully configured and ready to use on the Firefly Network! Simply
pick up the handset and dial.

Dialling:
To dial a Firefly number or voicemail, prefix the number with a star, e.g. *80001234, *123.
If you have configured a local dialling prefix for your account via the Freshtel website , you
can dial local, national, mobile, and international PSTN numbers exactly as you would from a
land line phone in your area; e.g. 08007654321 (US), 9557745 (US – local), 0061399156415
(UK – international), 99156415 (Australia – local).
If you have not configured a local dialling prefix, numbers are dialled in full (including country
code but without any international dial prefix), e.g. 61399156415, 18007654321. Land lines
and mobiles in Australia can be dialled with an initial 0, e.g. 0399156415.
