This plugin targets Alcatel IP Touch "extended edition" phones, i.e. the IP Touch phones which are capable of running in SIP standalone mode. This plugin can also be used to go from NOE to SIP mode. To be able to use SIP standalone mode, the phone must run at least firmware NOE 4.xx.xx.

If you want to use the synchronize functionality of the plugin, you must have the python 'pexpect' module and the telnet executable installed on your system.

The 'admin_password' config parameter is used for the telnet password and the phone UI admin password. Note that if you modify the telnet password, synchronize will not work until the phone gets synchronized, i.e. you may have to manually telnet to the phone with the old password or restart the phone from another way.

Note that the firmware is taken from a non-official source. If you do want to proceed with the installation, note that you need to have the '7zr' executable installed on your system.
