Aliasing Ip Deskphones For Switch Compatibility - Avaya 9608 Administrator's Manual

Administration overview and requirements
Release 6.1, the 9600 Series support this scenario using the VUMCIPADD parameter. When
this parameter contains one or more IP addresses the user sees a slight change to the Login
screen. In that screen the user is asked to specify a Login Mode of either Default or Visiting
User. If the user selects Default, the deskphone uses the MCIPADD parameter value whereas
if the user selects Visiting User, the deskphone attempts to register with each IP address in
VUMCIPADD simultaneously until it gets a positive response.
For example, if the company has locations in cities A, B, C, and D, you can administer
VUMCIPADD with one IP address from each of the main call servers in the four cities. A user
from city A is in the city B location but wants to use the city A call server. The user selects
Visiting User on the Login screen, the deskphone contacts each of the four main call servers
simultaneously and registers with the only call server that gives a positive response for city A.
• UNNAMEDSTAT
You can also administer the phone to avoid unnamed registration and remain unregistered if
no extension and password are provided. For more information, see the UNNAMEDSTAT
parameter in the table for
