To ensure that the end user is able to configure a 9600 Series IP Telephone in their SOHO
environment and to connect to the enterprise network, administrators can pre-configure the IP
telephone prior to deployment to allow the remote 9600 Series IP Telephone to establish a
connection over the VPN tunnel and if applicable, to provide authentication parameter values.
The administrator completes the initial configuration while the IP telephone is connected to the
enterprise network and prior to deployment to the end user. When more than five or six phones
require configuration, Avaya recommends the administrator use the settings file for configuring the
VPN telephones, with the exception of the User Name and User Password.
This is the recommended pre configuration method, including the sequence and procedures:
