Troubleshooting The following sections describe symptoms, possible causes, and potential solutions for common problems you may encounter with your Avaya system. When experiencing a problem, visually inspect the unit. Ensure the system has not been exposed to water or heat sources or appears physically damaged.
If no video displays from the camera, ensure the camera is connected to the Avaya system with a camera cable to the appropriate camera input or contact your administrator.
Degradation in the audio quality can also be caused by faulty microphones or dust and debris on the microphones. Do not use any kind of liquid or aerosol cleaner on Avaya devices that include microphones. A soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient to clean the top surface of the units if necessary.
Verify that the network is ready and available. Network status is indicated at all times in the status bar. If the Avaya system is connected to the local network, a green network status icon appears. A yellow or red network status icon indicates a problem with the network connection.
To access the web administration interface, follow these steps. 1. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Avaya system in the web address field. The IP address of the system appears at the top of the main screen in the user interface.
4. Select the Set New Password button and press OK. Controlling Remote Administration By default, remote access to an Avaya 1010/1020 system through the web (http), SNMP, and ssh is enabled; remote access through a telnet session is disabled. To enable or disable remote access through any of these mechanisms, configure preferences in Administrator Preferences : Security : General.
(IP address of the default gateway the system uses). Configuring Avaya Systems Using DHCP If an Avaya video communications system obtains its IP address using DHCP (the default), it can accept an option from the DHCP server that specifies a location and file from which the system can obtain configuration information.
Page 37
<path> is one or more URLs separated by semicolons that specifies the location of a configuration file. Supported protocols include TFTP, FTP, and HTTP. If the path contains more than one URL, the Avaya system tries the URLs in the order listed and uses the first file that exists.
<name> is the IP address or DNS name in the path. Example: For an Avaya 1010/1020 system with a MAC address of 00:13:FA:00:12:33 and an IP address of 10.10.22.77, the path: http://example/configs/fishtank.cfg;example;ftp://example/#I.cfg resolves to search for a configuration file at the following locations: 1.
If you have static virtual local area networks (VLANs) configured in your environment, you can configure your Avaya system to apply a VLAN tag to outgoing packets and only accept incoming tagged packets that have the same VLAN identifier. To enable this feature, navigate to Administrator Preferences : Network : General : VLAN Tag and specify the VLAN identifier of the VLAN to which the system is assigned.
Restricting Reserved Ports By default, Avaya systems communicate through TCP and UDP ports in the range 60000 - 64999 for video, voice, presentations, and camera control. Avaya systems use only a small number of these ports during a call. The exact number depends on the number of participants in the call, the protocol used, and the number of ports required for the type (video or voice) of call.
When you select the Register button and press OK, icons appear in the status bar to indicate the status of the registration process with the SIP server. The yellow SIP icon appears when your Avaya system is trying to register with the SIP server. If the registration fails, the red SIP icon appears.
