1.6 Installation Requirements

To install an IP phone on IP Office, the following items are required:
·
Network Assessment
A network assessment must be completed. Avaya will not support VoIP on a network where a satisfactory
assessment 12 has not been obtained.
·
Extension Number and User Details
A full listing of the planned extension number and user name details is required. The planned extension number
must be unused and is requested by the phone during installation.
·
Power Supplies
Each phone requires a power supply. Avaya IP phones do not draw power from the IP Office. A number of options
exist for how power is supplied to the phones and all the Avaya IP deskphones support Power over Ethernet (PoE).
See Power Supply Options
·
LAN Socket
An RJ45 Ethernet LAN connection point is required for each phone.
·
Category 5 Cabling
All LAN cables and LAN cable infrastructure used with H.323 IP phones should use CAT5 cabling.
·
LAN Cables
Check that an RJ45 LAN cable has been supplied with the IP phone for connection to the power supply unit. You
may also need an additional RJ45 LAN cable for connection from the power unit to the customer LAN. This will
depend on the type of power supply being used.
·
A further RJ45 LAN cable can be used to connect the user's PC to the LAN via the IP phone (not supported on
4601, 4602, 5601 and 5602 H.323 IP phones).
·
Voice Compression Channels
For IP500 V2 systems, the control unit must have voice compression channels installed. Channels are required
during the connection if calls involving IP phones and may also be required during the call. See
Channels 13 for full details.
·
DHCP Server
The IP Office Unit can perform this role for all the phones. If another DHCP server is used for the network, this may
be able to do DHCP for the H.323 IP phones, see
configured to only provide DHCP support to Avaya IP phones.
·
Static IP addressing
installation is not recommended.
·
HTTP File Server
A PC running the IP Office Manager application can perform this role for up to 5 H.323 IP phones. An IP Office
control unit with a memory card can use that memory card as the source for up to 50 phones. The IP Office system
can act as the file server for up to 50 IP phones. For larger numbers a separate 3rd-party HTTP server should be
used.
·
H.323 Gatekeeper
The IP Office system performs this role.
·
IP Office Manager
A Windows PC running IP Office Manager is required for IP Office configuration changes. The PC should also have
System Status Application and System Monitor installed.

to Licenses 11 .
·
Backup/Restore Server
The phones backup and restore various phone and user settings whenever the user logs on or logs out. This uses
files stored on a file server. This is not necessarily the same server as used for the phone firmware files. The IP
Office system's own file storage can be used for this function and is the recommended option.
