IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Security Features Transport Layer Security (TLS) Support The phones now support a new transport protocol called Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Persistent TLS. TLS is a protocol that ensures communication privacy between the SIP phones and the Internet. TLS ensures that no third party may eavesdrop or tamper with any message. TLS is composed of two layers: the TLS Record Protocol and the TLS handshake protocol.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Notes: 1. Persistent TLS requires the outbound proxy server and outbound proxy port parameters be configured in either the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI (Advanced Settings->Global SIP->Basic SIP Network Settings). There can be only one persistent TLS connection created per phone. The phone establishes the TLS connection to the configured outbound proxy. 2.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Configuring TLS Using Configuration Files You use the following parameters to configure TLS in the configuration files: • sip transport protocol • sips persistent tls • sips root and intermediate certificates • sips local certificate • sips private key • sips trusted certificates Parameter – sip transport protocol Aastra Web UI Advanced Settings->Global SIP-> Advanced SIP Settings Configuration Files aastra.cfg, .
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Parameter – sips persistent tls Configuration Files aastra.cfg, .cfg Description Enables or disables the use of Persistent Transport Layer Security (TLS). Persistent TLS sets up the connection to the server once and re-uses that connection for all calls from the phone. The setup connection for Persistent TLS is established during the registration of the phone.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Parameter – sips root and intermediate certificates Aastra Web UI Configuration Files Advanced Settings->TLS Support aastra.cfg, .cfg Root and Intermediate Certificates (in Web UI) Description Allows you to specify the SIP Root and Intermediate Certificate files to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Parameter – sips local certificate Aastra Web UI Configuration Files Advanced Settings->TLS Support aastra.cfg, .cfg Local Certificate (in Web UI) Description Allows you to specify the Local Certificate file to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call. This parameter is required when configuring TLS (optional for Persistent TLS.) Note: The certificate file must use the format “.pem”.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Parameter – sips trusted certificates Aastra Web UI Configuration Files Advanced Settings->TLS Support aastra.cfg, .cfg Trusted Certificates (in Web UI) Description Allows you to specify the Trusted Certificate files to use when the phone uses the TLS transport protocol to setup a call. The Trusted Certificate files define a list of trusted certificates.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Configuring TLS Using the Aastra Web UI To configure TLS using the Aastra Web UI, you must enable TLS or Persistent TLS first. Then you must define the TLS certificate file names that you want the phone to use. Use the following procedure to configure TLS using the Aastra Web UI. Aastra Web UI 1 Click on Advanced Settings->Global SIP->Advanced SIP Settings. 2 In the "Transport Protocol" field, select TLS or Persistent TLS.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Aastra Web UI 4 Click on Advanced Settings->TLS Support. 32 RN-001029-00, Rev 03, Release 2.1 VoIPon www.voipon.co.uk sales@voipon.co.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Aastra Web UI 5 Enter the certificate file names and the private key file name in the appropriate fields. The Root and Intermediate Certificate files contain one root certificate and zero or more intermediate certificates which must be placed in order of certificate signing with root certificate being the first in the file.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Secure Real-Time Transfer Protocol (SRTP) Support with SDES Key Exchange Release 2.1 includes support for Secure Real-time Transfer Protocol (SRTP), using Session Description Protocol Security (SDES) key negotiation, for encryption and authentication of RTP/RTCP messages sent and received by the Aastra IP phones on your network. As administrator, you specify the global SRTP setting for all lines on the IP phone.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Configuring SRTP Using Configuration Files You use the following parameters to configure SRTP in the configuration files: Global Parameter • sip srtp mode Per-Line Parameter • sip lineN srtp mode Global Parameter Parameter – sip srtp mode Aastra Web UI Advanced Settings->Global SIP-> RTP Settings Configuration Files aastra.cfg, .
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Per-Line Parameter Parameter – sip lineN srtp mode Aastra Web UI Advanced Settings->Line <1-9>> RTP Settings Configuration Files aastra.cfg, .cfg Description This parameter determines if SRTP is enabled on this line, as follows: • If set to -1, then use the global setting for this line. (This is the default setting.) • If set to 0, then disable SRTP. • If set to 1 then SRTP calls are preferred.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes Security Features Configuring SRTP Using the Aastra Web UI When you configure SRTP using the Aastra Web UI, you must first globally configure SRTP support for the IP phone. Then, if you wish, you can configure SRTP support on a per-line basis. Use the following procedure to configure SRTP using the Aastra Web UI. Aastra Web UI Global Configuration 1 Click on Advanced Settings->Global SIP->RIP Settings.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 Security Features Aastra Web UI 3 Click to save your changes. Per-Line Configuration 1 Note: Setting a per-line SRTP configuration overrides the global SRTP configuration setting. Click on Advanced Settings->Line <1-9>->RTP Settings. 2 3 Set the “RTP Encryption” field to one of the following settings: • SRTP Disabled: IP phone generates and receives nonsecured RTP calls on this line.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes XML Features XML Features New “doneAction” Attribute for XML Text Screen Object You use the AastraIPPhoneTextScreen object to display text to the LCD screen on the IP Phone.

A user can scroll through the screens as required.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 XML Features XML Description: Screen Title The screen text goes here XML Example: Screen Object For more information about this test, press Done. Note: This example displays text that you can scroll through on the LCD screen.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes XML Features XML Support for Answer and Ignore Softkeys In Release 2.1, when the IP phone receives an XML application (either via a post or an incoming action URI) while a call is coming into the phone, the user can either answer or ignore the call with new softkeys that display (55i, 57i, and 57i CT), or press the left and right arrow keys (53i), without canceling the XML application.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 XML Features XML Example: SoftKey:Answer SoftKey:Ignore XML Screen Example: , *OHN 3MITH !N 8-, APPLICATION CAN DISPLAY HERE WHILE A CALL IS COMING IN !NSWER )GNORE For 53i: • An line displays on the LCD when the phone receives an incoming call at the same time it receives an XML application.
5i Series IP Phone Release Notes XML Features Implementation (53i) XML Example: Screen Object The screen object can be implemented similar to the firmware info screen. Note that white space is preserved in XML so the display should word-wrap appropriately. Only three lines can display at a time.
IP Phone Release Notes 2.1 XML Features XML Softkey for Special Characters (55i, 57i, and 57i CT only) In Release 2.1, the IP Phone can dynamically receive a Symbol List when it receives the AastraIPPhoneInputScreen XML object. You can have a single symbol specified for the softkey, or you can have a list of symbols. When there is only one symbol in the list, the symbol displays with no delay.
