or search for string "IP72".

Thank you!

Installation

At first install USB Driver. Plug USB-Charger to any free USB-Port on your PC and wait till Windows Device Manager ask you for Driver location. This step is unnecessary if you plan to configure the phone via phone-keyboard (Phone-based config). Note that WEP key input may get time consuming with numeric keyboard.

Firmware Update

If you have an Ascom i75 phone branded as innovaphone IP72 with Ascom firmware installed on it, see Upgrade from i75 to IP72 .

You can either upgrade the firmware via existing WLAN connection, or through the USB charger (programming device).

WLAN

To access the telephone with a browser using the http protocol, read the IP addrss on the IP72 by navigating Main Menu -> Administration ->Information -> Network. Than point the browser to this address, login (with default admin,ip72) and got to Upload -> Firmware. Upon completion, a reset is required.

USB charger

Turn on IP72 and connect it with USB Charger. The device must be in phone mode (not in charger mode)! Open new DOS Box and change to directory containing ip72.bin and usbload.exe and run: 

usbload.exe upload ip72.bin

Do not interrupt connection to IP72 or close upload.exe!!! This can break the device!

Output: 

> usbload upload ip72.bin
usbload 1.1 [07-60024]
3366855/3366855 (100 %) #052608
ok

If for some reason USB upload fails with a command similar to: 

> usbload 1.1 [07-60024]
2601472/3366855 ( 77 %) #040648
Error: unexpected usb ack #40653
Error: unexpected usb ack #40653
Error: waiting for ack #40652

Repeat the usbload command and do not turn off / reset the device until the usbload succeeds.

Initial WLAN and H.323/SIP Configuration

To configure initial IP72 settings, You can either enter the information on the phone directly or use the "usbload.exe" command line application. Alternatively, You can configure the access point to default WLAN configuration and complete the setup through http access.

Default WLAN Configuration

When unconfigured, the IP72 tries to connect to ssid innovaphone_ip72, with WEP-128 cipher, Wep-Key: innovaphoneag or 696e6e6f766170686f6e656167, index 1. Adjust the access point to these settings, and proceed with real production configuration via http. The IP address can be found through Menu - Administration - Information - Network. (The default user/password for http access is admin/ip72).

Phone-based config

WLAN settings are reached through Menu-Administration-WLAN. H.323/SIP settings are reached through Menu-Administration-Registration. Use the Menu Softkey to save the changes made.

PC-based config

Here the usbload help page: 

usbload config /login user,pass (default:ip72,admin)
               /ssid <ssid>
               /wep-key <hex-wep-key>
               /wep-index [1-4]
               /cipher <none|wep|wep128|tkip|aes-wrap|aes-ccmp|ckip>
               /security-mode <open|wpa-psk|wpa2-psk|leap|peap-mschapv2|eap-md5>*
               /assoc none|wpa|wpa2
               /auth eap-md5|leap|peap-mschapv2
               /passphrase <passphrase>
               /user <user>
               /password <password>
               /regdomain world|usa|canada|etsi|spain|france
               /power-save active|poll|uapsd
               /power-mode active|short-doze|long-doze
               /power-mode-call active|short-doze|long-doze
               /prot h323|sip
               /gk-addr <gk-IP-addr>
               /e164 <registration number>
               /h323 <registration name>
                
* still available, but obsolete - use /assoc + /auth combination instead

Here some examples:

WEP128 cipher, Open Authentication: 

usbload.exe config /ssid myssid /wep-key 9512c9cc94b0fbab30e242dc7f /cipher wep128 /wep-index 1 
/prot h323 /gk-addr 192.168.0.10 /e164 501

TKIP cipher, WPA-PSK Authentication: 

usbload config /ssid another-ssid /cipher tkip /assoc wpa /passphrase abcd1234 /regdomain etsi 
/prot h323 /gk-addr 192.168.1.10 /e164 501

AES-CCMP cipher, WPA2-PSK Authentication: 

usbload.exe config /ssid somessid /cipher aes-ccmp /assoc wpa2 /passphrase busybee 
/power-save uapsd /power-mode long-doze /regdomain etsi 
/prot h323 /gk-addr 172.16.100.1 /e164 8989

TKIP cipher, WPA2 with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 

 usbload config /ssid another-ssid /cipher tkip /assoc wpa2 /auth peap-mschapv2 /user usr /password pass /regdomain etsi 
/prot h323 /gk-addr 192.168.1.10 /e164 501

Saving the configuration may sometimes require an automatic IP72 reset.

Please not that you have to run the IP72 in normal mode (not in charger mode) in order to use usbload.

Note: All strings must be latin1 url encoded, You may encounter problems with special characters in passwords, passphrases and user names.

Example: /user joe cmp /password 1+1 is illegal and should be url-encoded to /user joe%20cmp /password 1%2B1

Advanced USB command line

For advanced users, usbload can be used as a telnet-like console interface. Open new DOS Box and change to directory containing usbload.exe and start usbload with 

usbload.exe interactive

If USB Driver correctly installed and IP72 is connected to USB Port you will see login prompt after pressing <Enter>.

IP72 default login : admin,ip72

To configure WLAN with SSID IP72Trial and 128bit HEX WEP-Key e78b52074e0144d3d2fd61efaa use following command: 

config change WLANMGR0 /ssid IP72Trial /wep-key e78b52074e0144d3d2fd61efaa /cipher wep128 /wep-index 1

See next section for complete reference.

To change Registration options: 

config change PHONE SIG /prot H323 /gk-addr 172.16.0.1 /h323 testuser /tones 0

Save and activate the changes with: 

config write
config activate

Read out traces: 

 log

Sometimes, it may be useful to record the interactive communication with the IP72 command interpreter. Invoke usbload with 

usbload interactive /file trace.txt

in order to record the communication and store it to file named trace.txt (available from usbload 09-60032).

   Note: strings must be latin1 url encoded 
         (e.g. /password 1+1 is illegal and should be url-encoded to /password 1%2B1)

Troubleshooting and Tracing WLAN

Status information on IP72

1. Place IP72 into USB charger

2. Log into command interface (default login : admin,ip72) 

usbload.exe interactive

3. 

 config change PHONE FORMS /state-information
 config activate

The bottom line showing e.g. -42,13,02 contains following information:

  • RSSI -42dBm,
  • channel 13
  • 0 for idle mode (0 - idle, 1 - connecting, 2 - call active)
  • 2 for long doze (0 - active wlan, no power save, 1 - short doze, 2 - long doze)

During a call, the status line shows RTCP information for local/remote endpoints.

e.g. 85,5,0/100,2,1 for

  • Roundtrip delay in ms (85)
  • Interarrival jitter in ms (5)
  • Packet Loss (0)

4. remove state information by resetting phone or alternatively 

 config change PHONE FORMS
 config activate

Tracing

Here some steps how to access WLAN trace on IP72.

1. Place IP72 into USB charger 2. Log into command interface (default login : admin,ip72) 

usbload.exe interactive

3. activate WLAN trace with 

config add WLANMGR0 /xtrace
config change ASCDEBUG0 /enable supp /enable wlan
config write
reset

4. fetch trace with 

log

5. deactivate trace with 

config rem WLANMGR0 /xtrace
config change ASCDEBUG0
config write
config activate


Tracing with V8

WLAN tracing is activated by navigating to Diagnostics submenu, Tracing, and activating the WLAN checkbox.

Wlan-trace-1.png

It can also be activated by invoking 

config add WLANMGR0 /xtrace
config write
reset

Logging all TCP/USB traffic to a file on a PC

First, activate traces as indicated in figure.

Wlan-trace-2.png

Note: Use the latest usbload 1.5!

Make sure usbload is in the PATH and open the dos/unix box: 

usbload login 
usbload clog /file log.txt

This uses standard login admin,ip72 and logs to file log.txt.

For other passwords, do the following 

 usbload interactive

Login and escape with ctrl-c, than invoke 

 usbload clog /file log.txt

Omitting /file logs to stdout.

Other useful commands

scan for other networks 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 scan

associate to network 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 associate

disassociate from network 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 disassociate

get statistics 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 get stat

get current wlan settings 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 get current

get current power save mode and power management profile 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 get psmode
mod cmd WLANMGR0 get pmprofile

explicitly set to active-mode (deactivate power-save) 

mod cmd WLANMGR0 activate-pwr

should be followed by 

 mod cmd WLANMGR0 deactivate-pwr

which enables power-save again

Known Problems

A typical problem are Access Points not supporting IEEE 802.11d - World Mode. Without World Mode support, the IP72 must be configured manually to country of usage through Menu-Administration-WLAN-Advanced.

Sometimes usbload can not find any IP72 Devices allthough this correctly connected. Rebooting PC will help in most cases.

Broken usbload with "older" IP72

If You have an older IP72 (hardware below G1), either Ascom or innovaphone branding with red alert button on top, You may experience a problem with usbload breaking at 99%, like this: 

> usbload upload ip72.bin
usbload 1.1 [07-60025]
3366400/3366855 ( 99 %) #052600Error: waiting for ack #52607
>

In this case, the phone cannot be repaired and has to be sent to innovaphone for replacement.
