Enabling The Ir Port; Dialling Phone Numbers - Avaya H323 Installation Manual

displayed. This is the setting for the phone's pass-through Ethernet port.
2. To continue, press #. IR=. The current status is displayed.
3. Change the status if required by following the displayed prompts and then press #. The phone will restart.

6.2 Dialling Phone Numbers

You can use the IR port to receive phone numbers beamed from an IR enabled PC or pocket organizer device. Any device
that can beam contacts in the VCard format (.vcf) can be used.
If you are unsure of the file format used by your IR device, you can try beaming a contact anyway. The display on the IP
phone will show the name of the file it received. If that ends in .vcf, then the phone should dial the number in the VCard
file.
You will need to remember the following:
· The phone will only dial the first phone number in the VCard file.
· If your IP Office system has been setup to need a prefix for external dialling, that prefix must be in the VCard
phone number.
In addition to dialling the phone number digits, the following additional characters can be included in the phone number:
· m = Mute
· c = Conference
· h = Hold
· t = Transfer
· , (comma) = 2-second pause
The following sections contains examples of dialling contacts by beaming from various different devices.
