Installation; Preparation - Avaya IP Office 3.2 Installation Manual

Installation

1. Preparation

Check the following before beginning installation:
1. Manager PC Static Address:
Ensure that the Manager PC has been given a static IP address.
2. Voice Compression Module:
The IP Office Unit must be fitted with a Voice Compression Module (VCM). For a Small Office
Edition unit, a number of Voice Compression Channels are preinstalled on the motherboard.
•
Start the IP Office Monitor application. The initial lines of Monitor output include the item
VCOMP= which will state the number of Voice Compression Channels installed in the
control unit.
3. DHCP Server
If not using the IP Office for DHCP, check that the alternate DHCP server has been configured
for the IP phones. See Appendix E. Alternate DHCP Setup.
4. Control Unit Settings:
Using the Manager Application, open the configuration and select the System form. Check the
following:
a. System Name:
In the System tab ensure that a Name for the IP Office Unit has been entered.
b. TFTP Server IP Address:
In the LAN1 tab, enter the IP address of the TFTP server as the TFTP Server IP
Address.

c. Gatekeeper Settings:
In the Gatekeeper tab, ensure that Gatekeeper Enabled and Auto-create Extn Enable
are selected. If you do not want to install using auto-create extension, you will need to
configure the required extensions and user at this stage, see Manually Creating
Extensions.
d. If you have made any changes, upload the new configuration to the IP Office Unit.
e. Within Manager, select File | Preferences and ensure that the address is
255.255.255.255, otherwise TFTP will not work.
5. IP Phone Software:
The software for IP phone installation is supplied on the IP Office Administration CD. The files are
copied into the Manager folder during installation of the Manager application.
• An additional file (46xxsettings.txt) is also required. See 1a. Creating a 46xxsettings.txt
File .
6. Manager and TFTP Log:
Leave Manager running. It is also useful to have Manager's TFTP Log visible (select View |
TFTPLog). This will display the progress of file requests.
7. Extension Number and User Name Details:
A full listing of the planned extension number and user name details is required. The planned
extension number must be unused and is requested by the phone during installation.
Phone Installation Guide
IP Office 3.2
For installations of 5 or less H.323 IP phones this can be the IP address of the PC
running Manager.
If a memory card is being used on a Small Office Edition or IP406 V2, enter the IP
address of the IP Office's LAN1.
If a third-party TFTP server is being used, set the IP address to the address of the
PC running that software.
