UPnP Mapping Lines (for remote phones)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a standard that uses Internet protocols to enable devices to be plugged into a network and automatically know about each other. With UPnP, when a user plugs a device into the network, the device configures itself, acquires a TCP IP address, and uses a discovery protocol based on the Internet's HTTP or HTTPS URL to announce its presence on the network to other devices.
This method of device discovery on a network is called ???Universal Plug and Play??? or UPnP. If you enable UPnP, and the phone is discovered on the network, port mappings are set up between the phone and the Internet Gateway Device (IGD) in your network. The phone controls the opening, closing, and polling of ports on the IGD. HTTP and SIP use a single port each. RTP/RTCP uses a range of ports.
You can enable the UPnP mappings to specific lines on your phone. You set this configuration using the Aastra Web UI at Basic

Incoming Intercom Call Features
Incoming Intercom
By default, the IP phone allows incoming intercom calls to be automatically answered without having to set up an Icom key on your phone. The phone automatically plays a warning tone when it receives an incoming intercom call. It also mutes the microphone. If the intercom call comes into the phone while an active call is already present, the phone puts the active call on hold and answers the intercom call.
You can change the behavior of how the phone handles incoming intercom calls by enabling/disabling specific parameters using the Aastra Web UI. The following table describes these features.

Outgoing Intercom Calls
If your System Administrator configures the outgoing intercom feature on your phone, pressing the Icom button allows your phone to find an available line and place an intercom call to a recipient. To use this feature, you must configure an intercom key on your phone. For more information about configuring and using an Icom key, see "Intercom Key" on page 71.
Missed Call Summary Subscription
A feature on the IP phones allows missed calls that have been redirected by the server, to be incremented in the missed calls indicator on the phone it was initially directed to. This feature is called the Missed Call Summary Subscription and can be configured by your System Administrator. For this feature to work, you must configure voicemail on the phone that the call was initially directed to.
For example, phones A, B, and C are connected to the server. Your Administrator configures the server to direct calls coming into phone B (which has voicemail configured) to be forwarded to phone C. When phone A calls phone B, the server forwards the call to phone C. With the Missed Call Summary Subscription enabled, phone B receives notification from the server that the call was forwarded and the missed calls indicator is incremented on phone B.

Your System Administrator can specify an XML URI that creates a custom Callers List application for your phone. When you press the Callers List key, the phone accesses a custom XML URI Callers List instead of the standard Callers List. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
Autodial (Hotline and Warmline)
Your System Administrator can configure an autodial feature on your phone. If autodial is enabled, the phone automatically dials a preconfigured number whenever it is
???Hotline: The IP phone immediately dials a preconfigured number when you lift the handset.
???Warmline: The IP phone waits for a specified amount of time after you lift the handset before dialing a preconfigured number. If you do not dial a number within the time allotted, then the IP phone begins to dial the number.
The Autodial feature is available on a global or
Notes:
1. Any speeddial numbers that you configure on your IP phone are not affected by autodial settings.
2. If Autodial is configured on your phone, any lines that function as hotlines do not accept conference calls, transferred calls, and/or intercom calls.
Centralized Conferencing
The 53i supports centralized conferencing for Sylantro and Broadsoft servers. This feature provides centralized conferencing on the SIP server (versus localized, on the phone). Your System Administrator must enable this feature on your phone before you can use centralized conferencing.
Centralized Conferencing allows you to perform the following:
???Conference two active calls together into a conference call.
???When on an active conference call, invite another party into the call.
???Create simultaneous conference calls on the same IP phone (Sylantro servers only). For example, a user at extension 2005 could create two conferences, and put one conference on hold while conversing with the other party:
-Line 1: conference together extensions 2005, 2010, and 2020.
-Line 2: conference together extensions 2005, 2011 and 2021.
???Disconnect from an active conference call while allowing the other callers to remain connected.
???Add unlimited number of users to a conference (dependent on the limitations of the server).
???Join two active calls together into a conference.
???Join incoming or outgoing active calls to any existing conference.
Reference
For more information about using Centralized Conferencing, see "Centralized Conferencing (for Sylantro and Broadsoft Servers)" on page 90.

Answer and Ignore Softkeys for XML Applications
If you are accessing XML applications on your phone and a call comes in, your System Administrator can create "Answer" and "Ignore" keys that you can use to either answer the incoming call, or ignore it..

HEREEWHILEHAICALL ISACOMINGIIN
,JQRUH $QVZHU
When the 3 Ignore Answer 4 line displays, you can press the Right Arrow key (Answer) to answer the incoming call without disturbing the current XML application. When you answer the call, the 3 Ignore Answer 4 line disappears from the LCD. Pressing the Left Arrow key (Ignore) ignores the incoming call without disturbing the current XML application. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
XML Softkey for Special Characters in XML Applications
When using XML applications that require you to enter information such as email addresses, that require special symbols (for example, the "@" symbol), your System Administrator can create an XML softkey to access these symbols. Pressing the symbol key in an XML application can display a single symbol or a list of symbols from which you can choose the symbol you need. Contact your System Administrator for more information.
???Hold??? Feature Enhancement (for Broadsoft Servers)
The Hold feature allows you to put an active call on ???hold,??? then retrieve the call later. This enhancement is intended for IP phones operating with servers that support RFC3264 (for example, Broadsoft). If a server does not support RFC3264, then the IP phones do not use RFC3264 functionality.
