Chapter 5: Changing VPN settings
Introduction
Prior to performing any of the procedures in this section, and based on whether the telephones will
be set up centrally or remotely, the administrator should establish appropriate values for VPN tunnel
connection and user authentication. Applicable VPN system parameters are listed in Appendix A:
VPN Parameters.
Three methods are available to change VPN settings:
• Invoking the VPN Special Procedure from the local administrative (Craft) procedure menu
using the same access method as you would for any local procedure. This method requires
that the person accessing the local procedure knows the local procedure access password set
in the PROCPSWD parameter.
• Invoking the VPN Special Procedure using the VPN Access Code, when administrative
permission to change settings has been granted by setting the VPNPROC parameter to "2."
• Invoking the VPN Settings option from the Avaya (A) Menu (or the Home screen for a 9670)
using the VPN Access Code (if VPNPROC is set to "2").
Note:
All 9600 Series IP Telephones except the 9670G require you to select a line or desired action
and press a button/softkey to act upon your selection. On 9670G IP Telephones, all actions are
touch-based; for example, text/numeric entry uses an on-screen keyboard, and actions are
taken or confirmed by touching the applicable line, feature, icon, or softkey on the screen. The
procedures that follow apply to non-9670G phones and should be adjusted accordingly for the
9670’s touch screen.
Accessing VPN settings
