Telephone power requirements

Each Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone requires a power supply. You can provide the power through:
• A PoE (Power over Ethernet) network.
• A 5V DC power supply unit that requires each phone to have access to a mains power outlet.

DHCP server requirements

Avaya recommends using a DHCP server because of the ease that the DHCP server provides for
installation and maintenance procedures. The DHCP server provides following information to the
deskphone:
• The IP address of the deskphone
• The IP address of the file server where the firmware and the configuration files reside.
You can provide DHCP support in two ways:
• DHCP on IP Office : You can enable DHCP on an IP Officesystem. In this case you need not
configure the DHCP option 66 because the IP Office system provides the firmware and the
configuration server details to the deskphone.
• Third-party DHCP: You can configure a separate server as a DHCP server and configure the
DHCP option 66 to provide the firmware and the configuration server details to the deskphone.

File server requirements

The IP Office system performs the role of a file server to provide the configuration and firmware files
that the deskphone requires.
To operate with the IP Office system, the Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone must download specific
firmware and configuration files at the time of start-up. The deskphone requests the firmware and
configuration files from a file server. The deskphone uses the HTTP file server address to request
for the files.

Avaya IP endpoint licenses requirements

Each IP endpoint that the telephone system supports requires a license, either an Avaya IP
Endpoint license or a third-party IP Endpoint license. Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone uses the Avaya
IP Endpoint licenses.
The system automatically assigns the licenses to deskphones in order of deskphone registration.
However, you can configure existing extensions to reserve a license. The license reservation
ensures that the deskphones do not become unlicensed when newly added extensions manage to
register first following a system reboot.
