"aaa" and "rrr" are ASCII encoded decimal numbers with a range of 0 to
255. They identify the "Action Code" and "Retry Count", respectively, for
the associated TPS server. Internally to IP Phone 2004 they are stored
as 1 octet (0x00 to 0xFF). Note that these fields must be no more than
3 digits long.
The string enables the configuration of information for two Connect
Servers. One Connect Server exists for each IP node. In the typical
system configuration of a single IP node, only the primary Connect Server
is required. In this case, the primary Connect Server string must be ended
with a period (.) instead of a semi-colon (;). For example,
Nortel-i2004-A,iii.jjj.kkk.lll:ppppp,aaa,rrr.
If the secondary Connect Server portion of the string is specified, then
the string information is typically the same as the primary Connect Server
information. For example:
Nortel-i2004-A,iii.jjj.kkk.lll:ppppp,aaa,rrr;iii.jjj.kkk.ll
l:ppppp,aaa,rrr.
When the Enhanced Redundancy for IP Line Nodes feature is used,
two different Connect Server strings can be configured, separated with
a semi-colon (;). This enables the telephone to register to two different
nodes. For more information about the Enhanced Redundancy for IP Line
Nodes feature, see
Signaling Server IP Line Applications Fundamentals
(NN43001-125).
Action code values (0 to 255):
1 UNIStim Hello (currently only this type is a valid choice)
all other values (0, 2 to 255) reserved
iii,jjj,kkk,lll are ASCII-encoded, decimal numbers representing the IP
address of the server. They do not need to be 3 digits long as the "." and
":" delimiters guarantee parsing. For example, ’001’, ’01’, and ’1’ would all
be parsed correctly and interpreted as value 0x01 internal to the IP Phone
2004. Note that these fields must be no more than three digits long each.
ppppp is the port number in ASCII encoded decimal. The port number
must be set to 4100.
In all cases, the ASCII encoded numbers are treated as decimal values
and all leading zeros are ignored. More specifically, a leading zero does
not change the interpretation of the value to be OCTAL encoded. For
example, 0021, 021, and 21 are all parsed and interpreted as decimal 21.
