Note:
R2 IP Softphone and IP Agent, which use a dual connect (two extensions)
architecture, are no longer supported. R3 and R4 IP Softphone and IP Agent,
which use a single connect (one extension) architecture, continue to be
supported. This applies to the RoadWarrior and the Telecommuter configurations
for the IP Softphone. Native H.323 registrations for R1 and R2 Softphones
continue to be supported.
Before you start
Be sure that your system has been enabled to use IP Softphones. Display the System
Parameters Customer-Options screen and verify the following field settings:
Maximum Concurrently Registered IP Stations is greater than 0
●
IP Stations field is y
●
Information has been entered in the fields on the Maximum IP Registrations by
●
Product ID page
Be sure that your DEFINITY CSI has a CLAN board and an IP Media Processor board.
Once you're finished administering Avaya Communication Manager, you need to install the IP
Softphone software on each user's PC.
Adding a road-warrior mode
You can use the road-warrior mode when you have only a single telephone line available to
access Avaya Communication Manager over the IP network.
You also can "take over" an IP telephone. Typically you would not have a different extension for
your softphone. When you log in, the softphone takes over the existing telephone extension
(turn the DCP or IP telephone off). During this time, that DCP or IP telephone is out of service.
This is accomplished if, on the Station screen, the IP Softphone field is y.
We will add a road-warrior mode at extension 3001. Except for single-connect IP phones, you
have to actually administer two extensions for each road-warrior mode. We will first add an
H.323 extension at 3000.
