Connecting Aastra 6730i SIP phone to HiPath 4000

Has anyone had success in connecting a Aastra 6730i to a HiPath 4000 v5? The pabx has both IP (openscape) and SIP (410)phone coonected. Any advice please?

I have never tried an Aastra, but I managed to get Cisco SIP phones working on mine after a few weeks of screwing around - I finally found the answer by accident in some manual.

In my case it had to do with what they named the "gateway" parameter compared to what Siemens calls it - you have to be able to tell the phone where the PBX is. That got me dial tone but I couldn't do anything with it - I found one more parameter that I had to have checked in the phone and that fixed it.

I searched for that thread, and here is the comment I posted about what I found:

Since it seems nobody here has a clue I'll share what I eventually found out using the OpenStage 40 SIP Administrators Guide - seems the parameter names are fairly standardized except under SIP settings - what Siemens refers to as the "Voice Gateway" IP is what Cisco calls the "Outgoing Dial Proxy" and the "Incoming Proxy". That will get you dial tone, but you must also put a tick mark in the "Register with proxy" box to be able to use the phone.

Hope that's a little helpful anyway....
