Installation manual

Configuring from a browser

Most of the settings above can be done from a standard web browser. From any standard web

browser, enter the IP address of the phone as the URL. You will get the home page of the LP5100

phone. The password expected to do configuration changes is the same password you use to enter

the Administration menu on the phone.

Navigating through the configuration settings from a browser should be straightforward. So, we

will not go into details here.

4.2.2.2. Ordering Information

The LP5100 phones can be ordered from Ingram Micro and TechData. In order to order these

phones, resellers have to have a reseller account with the distributor. Siemens does not have any

special authorization requirements. Any reseller with an account with the distributors will be able

to order the phones. Please contact your distributor for information on part numbers and other

details.

4.2.3. AltiView integrated with NetMeeting

This is the Soft Phone solution for IP Extension and this is probably the least expensive option.

AltiView 4.0 provides an option (called IP Extension Integrated with NetMeeting) that allows it

to use NetMeeting as the IP extension. To use this option, all you need is a sound card and a head

set (Plantronics headset is recommended) that connects to the sound card. You should not use a

microphone and speakers since this would cause the speaker's output to be fed back to the

microphone and cause severe echoes. The downside is that the PC's CPU will be used for voice

compression / decompression, so if you are running processor-intensive applications, it will affect

the voice quality.

4.2.3.1. Configuration

You should have NetMeeting 3.01 and AltiView 4.0 installed on the client PC in order to use this

option. No special configuration settings are required. You just check the option IP Extension

Integrated with NetMeeting when starting AltiView and you are ready to go.

To make a call, use AltiView's Dial function. When your extension receives a call, a dialog box

pops up that asks you if you wish to accept this call. If you choose 'Yes', you will be connected to

the caller via the headset. You can use AltiView's call control functions such as transfer just as

usual.
