Avaya Communication Manager Integration Factors

This section describes the mapping between the emulated Avaya 4612 IP Telephone and
the Avaya 3641/3645 Wireless IP Telephone.
Voice Messaging Access
Voicemail is accessed on the Wireless IP Telephone as FCN + a character that corresponds
to the administered button.
CODECs
The Avaya 3641/3645 Wireless IP Telephone is compatible with the G.711 and
G.729a/ab codecs. There is no setting required on the Wireless IP Telephone. If an
incompatible codec is specified, there will be no voice path.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standardized protocol that enables
clients to be dynamically assigned with various configuration parameters, such as an IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway, and other critical network configuration
information. DHCP servers centrally manage such configuration data, and are configured
by network administrators with settings that are appropriate for a given network
environment. The Wireless IP Telephone will use the following DHCP options if DHCP use
is enabled:
Option Meaning
1 Subnet mask
3 Default gateway
6 DNS server
15 Domain name
43 Avaya-specific options
60 Vendor class ID
66 TFTP server
151 Avaya Voice Priority Processor
152 NL OAI Gateway
176 Avaya-specific options
siaddr Boot server or next server
TFTP
The Wireless IP Telephone uses TFTP to update its software over the 802.11 wireless
LAN.
DNS
Domain Name System (DNS), an industry-standard protocol, locates computers on an IP-
based network. IP networks rely on number-based addresses to move information on the
network. However, users are better at remembering friendly names than number-based
addresses, so, it is necessary to translate user-friendly names into addresses that the
network can recognize. The Wireless IP Telephone will use DNS to automatically translate
names into IP addresses for these components – TFTP Server, Avaya Voice Priority
Processor, and Avaya Communication Manager.
