Authentication management
To avoid entering the authentication password manually, the SIP password must be declared after
deploying the terminal.
Management by TMA
Once the terminal is declared, it is seen by TMA. It is then possible to take an inventory of the
terminals via their MAC address and associated subscriber number.
TMA enables the administrator to manage all the configuration parameters, but also to reroute the
terminal to the right FTP server.
TMA also manages the terminals’ software upgrades.
35.17.4 Other deployment methods for 6700i terminals:
To deploy some terminals on a single-site Aastra X Series system for which the integrated TMA is not
used, the A6700i series terminals may be configured manually. This solution requires the presence of
an integrated or external FTP server. The network parameters required by the terminal to work well
are declared manually, either from the terminal or from the web interface.
These network parameters can also be configured and downloaded from the FTP server.
In this case, the integrated FTP server IP address, login and password associated with the user
account used by the A6700i series terminals are the only network parameters that require a manual
configuration.
Configuration files are made available manually on the FTP server storage area by the administrator.
Therefore, SIP terminals can also be deployed:
 Via the terminal’s web interface:
 Configuration of the terminal's @ IP via its configuration menus
 Configuration of advanced parameters via the terminal’s web interface
 Directly from the terminal:
 Configuration of all parameters via the terminal's configuration menus
Aastra recommends configuring SIP terminals via a download server (via configuration files) using
TMA for mass implementation (see previous sections: "Automatic deployment through manual login"
and "Massive deployment"). This allows rational management of a terminal pool.
Therefore, the configuration will instead be used directly on the terminal or via the web interface for a
reduced number of terminals.
