Avaya IP Office H.323 Telephone Installation Manual page 24

2. Installation
The following is a summary of the major steps in the installation process. The recommended installation method is to use
DHCP where possible, to use the IP Office system as the file server and to enable automatic user and extension creation.
1. IP Office Manager PC
Check that IP Office Manager, System Status Application and System Monitor are installed and can be used to
connect to the IP Office system. Verify that you can receive the configuration from the system and send it back.
2. Voice Compression Channels
The IP Office Unit must be fitted with
application to verify that the voice compression channels are available. SSA list the VCM channels on the
Resources screen. The initial lines of Monitor output include the item VCOMP= which will state the number of
channels installed in the control unit.
3. Avaya IP Endpoint Licenses
Each phone requires an Avaya IP Endpoint
The licenses are added to the IP Office configuration using IP Office Manager.
4. H.323 Gatekeeper Settings
The IP Office system has support for H.323 phones enabled by default. However, the setting should be checked.
5. DHCP Server Setting
DHCP is the recommended method for installation of IP phones on a IP Office system. This requires a DHCP server
configured to support IP phones. The IP Office system can be used for this. If the customer want to use their own
DHCP server, it will require
6. Phone File Server Setting:
If the IP Office system is being used for DHCP, it also needs to be configured with the address of the file server.
Whichever installation method and file server is selected, the phone firmware files need to be added to the files
available on the server.
7. Extension and User Settings
The IP Office system can be configured to automatically create user and extension entries in its configuration for
each IP phone that is installed. It automatic creation is not used, entries must be manually created for each
extension and user before the phones are installed.
8. Phone Connections
Once the steps above have been completed, the phones can be connected to the network. If using DHCP, the
phones will automatically obtain IP address information and other settings and then start loading files. If not using
DHCP, the phones will have to be taken through a manual process of entering the IP address information and
settings.
9. Phone Registration
Once the phones have downloaded all the files they require from the file server, they will attempt to register with
the IP Office system. The phones will prompt for entry of the extension number that they should use.
10.Testing
Operation of the phones should be tested by making a number of calls, including external calls.
11.Post Installation
If Auto-creation was used for the extension and or user entries, those settings should be disabled after installation
of all the phones is completed. This manual only details the minimum user configuration necessary for installation.
The new users can now be fully configured to meet the customer requirements for those users.
