Why Do My IP Phone Screens Look Different?6-10 41-001190-02 Rev. 01, Rel. 1.2AastraLink Pro 160 Administrator GuideWhy Do My IP Phone Screens Look Different?If you install an AastraLink Pro 160 on your existing IP phone network, then youwill notice some phone UI changes when you register the phones with the device.Users who previously operated their IP phones in generic SIP mode should notethe following information:• Some menu options no longer appear on the Aastra IP phone UI, or arelocated on different screens. See the AastraLink IP Phone User’s Guide.• The Aastra IP phone UI displays several new menu options that apply to theAastraLink Pro 160 device itself.Why Does The Web UI Occasionally Time-out?For security reasons, the Web UI automatically logs a user off after 10 minutes ofinactivity. The Web UI displays the login screen, along with a message informingyou to log back in again. The Web UI may also temporarily disconnect the sessionif a temporary error occurs while connected to the AastraLink during processingof a data load or save operation; waiting a few minutes before logging back in andrepeating the operation should generally be successful.How Do I Maximize System Performance?To maximize system performance, Aastra requires connecting the AastraLink to afull-duplex Ethernet device, such as a router or switch, rather than a half-duplexdevice such as a hub.For example, if you are experiencing network problems such as garbledvoice-path or Web UI time-outs, check the front LED on the AastraLink device. Ifit is slowly flashing red - about once per second - then the AastraLink is runningnormally, but in a degraded state. (a full-duplex network connection could not benegotiated). This causes timeouts, restricts the system capacity and/or causesproblems with collisions or integrity of the network connection.
