Avaya IP500 Installation Manual page 185

The following are the basic default configuration settings for an IP Office system.
Network Settings
IP address
IP Mask
DHCP Mode
No of DHCP IP Addresses
· Extensions and Users
A user is automatically created for each physical extension port detected in the system. Users are assigned
extension numbers starting from 201. User names take the form Extn201, Extn202, ....
· Hunt Group
A single hunt group 200 called Main is created and the first 10 users are placed into that hunt group as members.
· Incoming Call Routes
Two default incoming call routes are created. Voice calls are routed to the hunt group Main. Data calls are routed to
the RAS user DialIn.
· Default Short Codes
IP400 control units are manufactured as either A-Law or U-Law variants. For IP500 and IP500v2 control units, A-
Law or U-Law variant operation is determined by the Feature Key installed in the control unit. Depending on the
variant, different short codes and trunk settings are added to the default configuration.
· A-Law or Mu-Law
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is a method for encoding voice as data. In telephony, two methods PCM encoding are
widely used, A-law and Mu-law (also called U-law). Typically Mu-law is used in North America and a few other
locations while A-law by the rest of the world. As well as setting the correct PCM encoding for the region, the A-Law
or Mu-Law setting of an IP Office system when it is first started affects a wide range of regional defaults relating to
line settings and other values.
· For IP400 IP Office systems, each control units was manufactured as either an A-Law variant or a Mu-Law
variant.
· For IP500 and IP500v2 systems, the encoding default is set by the type of Feature Key installed when the
system is first started.
Default DHCP/IP Address Settings
When a defaulted or new IP Office control unit is switched on, it requests IP address information from a DHCP Server on
the network. This operation will occur whether the LAN cable is plugged in or not. The process below is done separately for
both the LAN port (LAN1 in the configuration) and the WAN port (LAN2 in the configuration) on the back of the IP Office
control unit.
· The IP Office makes a DHCP request for what IP address information it should use.
· If a DHCP server responds within approximately 10 seconds, the control unit defaults to being a DHCP client and
uses the IP address information supplied by the DHCP server.
· If no DHCP Server responds, the control unit still defaults to being the DHCP client but assumes the following
default addresses:
· LAN1: 192.168.42.1/255.255.255.0.
· LAN2: 192.168.43.1/255.255.255.0.
· Note that the IP Office does not check that these addresses are valid and or available on the network.
· Systems running in IP Office Essential Edition can also be configured as a DHCP server. They can also be configured
to only provide DHCP for Avaya IP phones and or for remote access dial-in connections. DHCP Server options are
not supported for systems running in IP Office Basic Edition - PARTNER® Mode, IP Office Basic Edition - Norstar
Mode and IP Office Basic Edition - Quick Modes.
!
Once an IP500 V2 control unit has obtained IP address and DHCP mode settings, it will retain those settings even
·
if rebooted without a configuration file present on the System SD card. To fully remove the existing IP address and
DHCP mode setting the IP Office must be defaulted using IP Office Manager.
