NEC SL1000: How to Setup 3rd-party SIP phone for NEC SL1000

As mentioned before in my earlier blog posting the NEC SL1000 Smart Communication Server supports both NEC IP phone 24TIXH & 3rd-party SIP phone (RFC3261); both hard/soft phones. 

Here are the steps to setup 3rd-party SIP phone for NEC SL1000;

• Hardware Required: 
  • VoIP board (IP4WW-VOIPDB-C1) – Mandatory
  • Expansion Memory card (IP4WW-MEMDB-C1) - Mandatory
  • 
    
• Software Licenses Required: 
• SL-IP-SIPEXT-1 LIC  (Initial system loaded with 4 licenses, need to buy for the 5th phone onwards, max. 16 quantity)
• 
  
• Programming Steps required in NEC SL1000:
• Network Setting
• Define the IP address of the VoIP card under PROG10-12-09
• Define the Subnet Mask of the VoIP card under PROG10-12-10
• Define Default GW of the VoIP card under PROG10-12-03
• Define the IP address for the DSP resource in VoIP card under PROG84-26-01 (*note: IP address should be in the same network as the IP address given under PROG10-12-09)
• 
  
• SIP Port Setting
• Define the SIP Port to be used by the SIP phone for registration under PROG84-20-01, set to 5060 (since this is the standard port used for SIP, certain softphone by default is already set to 5060)
• 
  
• Reserve Number for the SIP phone 
• Go to Menu bar, click on 'Programming' -> 'Unregistered Phones' -> 'IP Phone List' 
• Check-marked the extension you want to be used for your SIP phone
• Take note of the MAC address of your SIP phone (hard phone), for softphone the MAC address is your PC loaded with the software
• Go to PROG15-05-02 and input the MAC address for the reserved number used for your SIP phone
• 
  
• Set the Necessary Settings in your SIP phone
• *Note: Ensure the SIP phone is in the common network as the NEC SL1000 (VoIP), try to ping to it first 
• Set the SIP Registrar IP address (IP address of the VoIP card)
• Set the SIP extension number
• Set the SIP extension password (just set it as your extension number, since authentication is by pre-defined MAC address in the NEC SL1000 system)
• Reset your SIP phone

Now the 3rd-party phone shall be able to register to NEC SL1000 and this phone is able to make calls, receive calls to/from NEC SL1000 analog/digital/IP terminals
