Changing The Signaling Protocol; The Group Parameter - Avaya one-X 9601 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Changing the Signaling Protocol

The 9601 IP Deskphone is a SIP-only phone and does not support the H.323

protocol.
For enterprises requiring both H.323- and SIP-based protocols, there are two ways to specify
the protocol to be used by all or specific deskphones:
1. As of Release 6.0, the SIG parameter can be set in DHCP Option 242 (Site-Specific Option
Number) or in the 46xxsettings.txt file. This setting will apply to all telephones except those
for which SIG has been manually configured to a value of H.323 or SIP using the SIG Craft
procedure.
2. The SIG parameter can be set on a per-phone basis using the
Craft procedure.

The GROUP Parameter

You might have different communities of end users, all of which have the same model
deskphone, but which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to
restrict Call Center agents from being able to log off, which might be an essential capability for
"hot-desking" associates. We provide examples of the group settings for each of these
situations later in this section.
The simplest way to separate groups of users is to associate each of them with a number. Use
the GROUP system value for this purpose. The GROUP system value cannot be set in the
46xxsettings file. The GROUP system value can only be set on a deskphone-by-deskphone
basis using a Craft procedure. To set up groups, first identify which deskphones are associated
with which group and designate a number for each group. The number can be any integer from
0 to 999, with 0 as the default, meaning your largest group would be assigned as Group 0.
Then, at each non-default deskphone, invoke the GROUP... Local (dialpad) Administrative
procedure as specified in
number to use. Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the configuration file to allow
each deskphone of the appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Here is an illustration of a possible settings file for the example of a Call Center with hot-desking
associates at the same location:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto GROUP1
IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto GROUP2
