system configuration.

http://192.168.42.1/46xxsettings.txt. The auto-generated file is displayed in the browser.

1.17 Control Unit Memory Card

The memory card used with IP500 V2 systems can be used to store files including those used by Avaya IP Phones.
·
The IP500 V2 control unit requires a System SD card at all times. During creation of this card using IP Office
Manager, a full set of IP Office firmware files including those used by Avaya IP phones is placed onto the card.

1.18 Registration Blacklisting

The IP Office system logs failed H323/SIP registration requests. Multiple failed attempts can lead to the extension and/or
IP address becoming blocked for a period.
Blocking applies as follows:
·
Extension Blocking
Registration attempts to an existing extension using the wrong password are blocked for 10 minutes after 5 failed
attempts in any 10 minute period.
·
IP Address Blocking
Registration attempts to a non-existent extension or using the wrong password of an existing extension are blocked for
10 minutes after 10 failed attempts in any 10 minute period.
When blocking occurs, the system generates an alarm in System Status Application and adds an entry to its audit log. A
system alarm is also generated and can be output using any of the supported system alarm routes (SMTP, SNMP, Syslog).
System Monitor can display details of blacklisted IP addresses and extensions, select Status | Blacklisted IP Addresses
and Status | Blacklisted Extensions.
