Tip:
If you need to grow your network beyond 20 devices, it is a good idea to have
your network assessed first. You may consider migrating to Avaya IP Office and/
or Avaya Communication Manager.
The Avaya Intelligent Communications portfolio supports enterprises on a migration
path from traditional telephony to IP, SIP, mobile platforms, Web-based services, and
increasingly sophisticated architectures. Avaya Professional Services can help you
manage your migration path.
A single central administration interface, the Multisite Provisioning Tool, is available from the
Avaya Technical Support site to help simplify the tasks of configuring a large number of
individual one-X Quick Edition networks. For example, you can use the Multisite Provisioning
Tool to push software upgrades to the devices making up one or more one-X Quick Edition
networks. For more information, see the
Avaya one-X Quick Edition Multisite Provisioning Tool
Guide

Important Networking Concepts
Regardless of whether you are creating a new network or adding Telephones to an existing
network, connect the Quick Edition IP Telephones to the
same IP network segment
. If you have
a complex network, this means:
●
The IP addresses of all Quick Edition IP Telephones and G10 PSTN gateways must
belong to the same network address space. Avaya one-X Quick Edition devices assign
themselves IP addresses in the same network address space automatically if the Local
Area Network (LAN) does not include a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server host. Avaya one-X Quick Edition devices try to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server before they assign themselves IP addresses.
●
Unless assigned a static IP address previously, Avaya one-X Quick Edition devices assign
themselves IP addresses each time they are connected to an Ethernet LAN. If you move
devices making up the same one-X Quick Edition network from one LAN to another, they
may assign themselves different IP addresses without disrupting communications between
established network peers.
●
Virtual LANs (VLANs) may be defined on an Ethernet switch. If your IP network includes
VLANs, include all of the one-X Quick Edition devices that need to communicate with each
other in the same VLAN. If multiple one-X Quick Edition networks need to be run on the
same IP network segment, ask your LAN administrator to define the required number of
VLANs on the Ethernet switch and assign a single one-X Quick Edition network to each
VLAN.
