Installation Of Telephones - Avaya DECT R4 Installation And Administration Manual

Installation of telephones

This section describes the recommended procedure for installing and configuring telephones.
There are several ways to install a telephone but the procedures described here guarantees
simple maintenance of the system.
If possible, use the AIWS to install and maintain telephones in a large system. The reason is
that it enables to install, upgrade and configure a large amount of telephones simultaneously.
Another benefit is that the collection of the telephones from the user is not needed. They can be
maintained while placed in network connected Advanced Chargers on the users desks.
Network connected Rackmount Chargers can also be used, or over the air in the case of
IP-DECT.
The PDM enables administration of telephones inserted in a Advanced Charger or a
Rackmount Charger connected via USB to the administrator's computer.
