Connecting to the Network
AUTOMATIC
The Sangoma P-series phone uses DHCP and LLDP-MED to discover IP address and VLAN membership information. If successful, it attempts to find a configuration server.
MANUAL
If not successful, follow instructions in Setting the Network Information (page 5) or Web UI (page 12).

Configuring P-Series Phone
XML CONFIGURATION FILE (PREFERRED)
Create and make this file available to the phone as instructed in Getting the Phone Configuration (page 6)

WEBUI” TOOL
Enter all the configuration information as described in Web User Interface Settings on (page 9).

Upgrading Phone Firmware
UC SOFTWARE (PREFERRED)
The recommended method to upgrade firmware is via the UC software platform using the supported method for the UC platform in question. Customers connecting these phones directly to a properly up­dated and configured Sangoma UC system will have their phones automatically updated to the latest firmware by the phone system platform itself.

MANUAL FIRMWARE UPGRADE METHOD
Firmware files can be found here: http://phones.dl.sangoma.com/firmware/p-series/ . From a work­station, download the firmware for the desired model and version. With the phone in the factory default condition, upload the firmware directly using the phone’s web user interfaces (WebUl), accessible using a URL with the phone’s IP e.g.: http:// /firmware The default admin credentials for a P-Series phone are: Username: admin Password: 789
NOTE: Information on default username/passwords for all Sangoma phones is available here: hups://help.sangoma.com/community/s/article/What-are-the- default-login-and-password-for-a-Sangoma- phone
NOTE: The P-series phone WebUl is locked once the phone has been provisioned to a Sangoma UC platform. Once locked, you must first Factory Reset the phone to gain access to the WebUl.

Get Connected Networks & System Tools

As soon as your Sangoma P-series Phone powers up, the main display shows the Sangoma logo and indicates that it is initializing, loading necessary information, and starting the phone. By default, the phone uses the dynamic protocols DHCP and LLDP-MED to attempt to get an IP address and VLAN membership information. If successful, the phone then attempts to find a configuration server.
The following sections describe what to do if your phone cannot get on the network and get configuration information. For phone hardware specific information, press the nav button to bring up the Main Menu then select About. This will display the Phone Model, Firmware Version, firmware Date, MAC address, and IP address.

Setting the Network Information
To display and configure network settings, press the nav button to bring up the Main Menu then select Admin Settings.
NOTE: Accessing the Admin Settings menu requires the phone admin password. The default admin credentials for a P-Series phone are: Username: admin Password: 789
Select Network Settings. Here you can manually insert or change the following network parameters: Protocol, IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, Primary DNS, or Secondary DNS.
You can also configure the phone’s network using the Network Tab from the Web User Interface provided the phone has not previously been provisioned using an XML config file. If the phone has already been pro­visioned, then a factory reset is required to unlock access to the phone WebUl. The Factory Reset selection is in the Main menu.

PROTOCOL
DHCP is selected (highlighted) by default. To enter the IP information manually, press the Next softkey. This changes the protocol from DHCP to Static and enables input fields in which you specify four-part network addresses for the following:

  • IP Address
  • Netmask Gateway
  • Primary DNS
  • Secondary DNS (optional)

NOTE: The Delete softkey lets you delete a key-in character, and the Back softkey redisplays the Network Settings Options, or backs up to the previous display page. Use the navigation arrow keys to move from one input box to the next. When ready, press Submit, which will restart the phone for the new settings to take effect. Press Back to redisplay the Admin Settings screen from which you can select any of the other network options.

QUALITY OF SERVICE SETTINGS

NOTE: Prev softkey returns the previous choice; Back softkey redisplays the Network Settings Options.
WI-FI SETTINGS (ON SUPPORTED P-SERIES MODELS)
This option allows for setting up a network connection to a Wi-Fi source for certain P-Series phones.
Navigate to the Admin Settings menu, and select the Wi-Fi Settings selection (nav button > Admin Settings > Wi-Fi Settings)
NOTE: Wi-Fi Settings selection may not be visible until you use the nav buttons to scroll down Wi-FI – press the soft key to toggle Wi-Fi to enabled.

However, when a valid SSID Wi-Fi is entered (as above), the key type is  automatically recognized and entered here.
NOTE: The available key types are: 8 None 8 WEP 8 WPA-WPA2-Personal Password – IF the selected Wi-Fi key type is secured, you will be required to input the specific  key type password for that SSID.
NOTE: If a password is required, and you do not enter a valid password, you will receive a “Wi-Fi connection failed. Please verify the Wi-Fi settings.” error message.

Getting the Phone Configuration
The phone can be configured by using either an XML-formatted configuration file (to be downloaded from a PBX server), or by defining configuration information using the  phone’s Web User Interface (WebUI) Tool As noted in the previous “Setting the Network Information” section, the WebUI is only available when the phone has not  been provisioned or after a Factory Reset.
NOTE: If you do not want to manage your full phone configuration, you can manually enter the basic information for your SIP accounts using the SIP Accounts option.

If you are going to create your own XML configuration file, see: https://wiki.sangoma.com/display/PHON for a full description of the content and XML format.
The following are possible results of your phone’s attempt to find a configuration source:

  • It finds more than one source for a configuration file and displays them in a list. It prompts you to select the source you want.
  • It finds only one source for a configuration file. It tries to obtain that configuration after 5 seconds.
  • It finds no source for a configuration file and indicates that with the message, “There were no configuration servers found …”. The “Settings” soft button will display  the boot Settings Menu.

NOTE: The boot Settings Menu option, “Sangoma Configuration Server” applies to Sangoma UC products such as Switchvox, PBXact, etc.
OPTION 66
If you are creating your own configuration file and DHCP returns option 66 with a URL, the file location is found in this order:

lowercase_mac.cfg UPPERCASE_mac.cfg 000000000000.cfg The following is an example for the URL 10.10.8.237 and the phone MAC 00-19-15- 9C-06-46: The phone uses Wget to make the request to the URL indicated by option 66, so the URL can contain username, password, and a port number if necessary. If the phone can fetch a configuration file, it saves the file location. If the phone later restarts and does not get a response from option 66, it will use the previously saved file  location to try and obtain a configuration file, or downloads configuration file to your local phone. **FETCH CONFIGURATION FILE FROM URL** If you are creating your own configuration file, but not using option 66, you may enter a location for the configuration file by selecting Fetch Configuration File from URL. Fill in the following fields for this option:
  • Select the Protocol you wish to use to fetch the file. Choices are http, https, ftp, ftps.
  • Enter the four-part Server address.
  • Enter the Port number (optional)
  • Enter the Path.
  • Enter the Username (optional).
  • Enter the Password (optional

Click “Submit” or click “Back” to quit and return to the Phone Setup/Configuration Options.
If the phone can fetch a configuration file, it saves the file location.

WEB USER INTERFACE TOOL
If you are not creating your own configuration file, you can use the Web User Interface tool to enter configuration information. This is described in Web User Interface Settings on page 9.
