Basic System Programming

Introduction

This sections covers only the most basic aspects of system programming required to install an Avaya IP
Office - Small Office Edition system. When first powered up, all Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition
systems will operate as a simple PBX. However, full system programming is highly dependent on
customer requirements. Hence, some basic Initial Programming must be performed before detailed
configuration programming is possible. The Administration CD (supplied with each system) contains the
suite of programs required to install and maintain the Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system.
Once loaded, inter-active Help files provide all the instructions and details required to operate and
administer the program suite.

Programming Tools

The Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition supports programming through any one of its 10/100 Base-T
switch port connections. The tools required for programming of a newly installed Avaya IP Office - Small
Office Edition system are:
• PC running Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP or ME (see Tools & Parts Required).
• PC with a LAN (NIC) card with either a fixed IP address (allocated by your system administrator)
or by using DHCP to obtain an IP address.
• Small Office Edition Cat. 5E patch cable (red – supplied with system see PRI/BRI ISDN Cable).
•
Small Office Edition Administration (supplied on CD1 with system).
•
Small Office Edition Manager Application Manual (supplied on CD3 with system).
•
Small Office Edition Feature Key (where software that requires a Licence Key is to be installed).
• Note
Once installed, the software level of all software fitted to the Avaya IP Office - Small Office
Edition system can be identified. With Manager running, use File/Advanced/Upgrade to display
menu. Refer to the Manager Application Manual for details of system configuration, software
upgrade, etc.

LAN Port to PC Connection

An Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system, when first powered up, will scan the LAN for a DHCP
server that will allocate it with an IP address. If the Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system does
not find a DHCP server then it will automatically become a DHCP server itself with an IP address of
192.168.42.1. The Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system will allocate an IP address to the PC if
required. Initially, the Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system assumes that all addresses are on
the local LAN and that the PC software supplied uses broadcast to establish communication with the
Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system.
The Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition can be connected in either one of two ways; either directly to
a PC or as part of a LAN. Both methods use an Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition Cat. 5E patch
cable (see PRI/BRI ISDN Cable) connected between one of the LAN ports on the front of the Avaya IP
Office - Small Office Edition and the PC/LAN.
• Direct Connection
This method is used for local system programming directly from a PC.
•
LAN Network Connection
This is the option to use for remote programming access. It will require liaison with the LAN
network manager to obtain the IP address details and to ensure that the IP traffic routing is
allowed. When connected to an IP LAN network, you must consult with the Network Manager to
obtain the required IP settings. For IP operation the Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition
requires a static IP address including a subnet mask and default gateway value.
