Installation; Preparation - Avaya IP Office 3.0 Installation Manual

Installation

1. Preparation

Check the following before beginning installation. These are essential steps and installation will fail if
they are not followed.
1. Manager PC Static Address:
Ensure that the Manager PC has been given a static IP address.
2. Voice Compression Module:
The IP Office Control Unit must be fitted with a Voice Compression Module (VCM). For an Small
Office Edition control unit a number of voice compression channels are preinstalled on the
motherboard.
• Start the IP Office Monitor application. The initial lines of Monitor output include the item
VCOMP= which will state the number of voice compression channels installed in the
control unit.
3. Control Unit Settings:
Using the Manager Application, open the configuration and select the System form. Check the
following:
a. System Name:
In the System tab ensure that a Name for the Control Unit has been entered.
b. TFTP Server IP Address:
In the LAN1 tab, enter the IP address of the Manager PC as the TFTP Server IP
Address.
c. Gatekeeper Settings:
In the Gatekeeper tab, ensure that Gatekeeper Enabled and Auto-create Extn Enable
are both selected. If you do not want to install using auto-create extension, you will need
to configure the required extensions and user at this stage, see Manually Creating
Extensions.
d. If you have made any changes, upload the new configuration to the Control Unit.
e. Within Manager, select File | Preferences and ensure that the address is
255.255.255.255, otherwise TFTP will not work.
4. IP Phone Software:
The software for IP telephone installation is supplied on the IP Office Administration CD. The files
are copied into the Manager folder during installation of the Manager application.
• An additional file (46xxsettings.txt) is also required. See 1a. Creating a 46xxsettings.txt
File .
5. Manager and TFTPLog:
Leave Manager running. It is also useful to have Manager's TFTP Log visible (select View |
TFTPLog). This will display the progress of file requests.
6. Extension Number and User Name 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.
