Configuring Avaya DECT phones

Introduction

This chapter is intended as a guide when installing, configuring and maintaining functionality of
the Avaya 3720, 3725, 3740, 3745, and 3749 DECT telephones.
The 372x/374x can be used straight away in your system but it is highly recommended to install
the Portable Device Manager (PDM) or the Avaya In-Building Wireless Server (AIWS/AIWS2).
This enables customization of the behavior of the telephone to suite each user profile and the
specific PBX used in the system.
The PDM is aimed for smaller sites where the telephones are within reach. The AIWS makes it
possible to administrate the telephones centrally via a web interface without the need to collect
the telephones.
Ensure that you have a basic knowledge of the Avaya system and of subscribing telephones to
the PBX.

Getting started

You configure the 3725/3720 and 3740/3745/3749 telephone by inserting it into a Advanced
Charger, Rackmount Charger or directly over the air (OTA). The charger is connected via USB
or ethernet to Portable Device Manager (PDM) or Avaya In-Building Wireless Server (AIWS/
AIWS2).
In the case of IP-DECT, it is possible to configure over the air.
Note:
Ensure that you place the handset in idle state in the advanced charger,
Note:
otherwise you might get synchronization issues between handset and device
manager.
Note:
Uploading a language file, phonebook file, or a software download is not possible
Note:
for 3720 telephone while in a call.
