Changing The Signaling Protocol; The Group Parameter - Avaya 9601 Installing And Maintaining

Chinese, Japanese or Korean glyphs should be displayed for the Unicode "Unified Han" character
codes, and a Language Identification Tag for the language of the text contained in the file. A
downloadable language file may also contain a translation of the language name into any or all of
the languages for which a language file is included in the software distribution package. Language
files must be stored in the same location as the 46xxsettings.txt file.
You can download a new language file version only if the filename differs from the language file
previously downloaded. Alternately, you can remove the old language file using an empty SET
LANGUAGES command in the 46xxsettings file before downloading a language file with the same
filename.
Note:
Language files for SIP deskphones have a .xml filename extension whereas language files for
9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, or 9641G IP deskphones set to H.323 have a .txt filename
extension.

Changing the signaling protocol

About this task
For enterprises requiring both H.323-based and SIP-based protocols, there are two ways to specify
the protocol to be used by all or specific deskphones:
Procedure
1. The SIG parameter can be set in DHCP Option 242 (Site-Specific Option Number) or in the
46xxsettings.txt file. This setting will apply to all deskphones except those for which SIG has
been manually configured to a value of H.323 or SIP using the SIG Craft procedure.
2. The SIG parameter can be set on each phone.
The 9601 deskphone supports only the SIP signaling.

The GROUP parameter

You might have different communities of end users, all of which have the same model deskphone,
but which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to restrict Call Center
agents from being able to log off, which might be an essential capability for "hot-desking"
associates. We provide examples of the group settings for each of these situations later in this
section.
The simplest way to separate groups of users is to associate each of them with a number. Use the
GROUP system value for this purpose. The GROUP system value cannot be set in the
46xxsettings file. The GROUP system value can only be set on each deskphone using a Craft
procedure. To set up groups, first identify which deskphones are associated with which group and
designate a number for each group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the
default, meaning your largest group would be assigned as Group 0.
