3 Select the All MIB-2 Devices checkbox to discover non-Extreme Networks devices.
4 Click New . EPICenter will query the Avaya Information Manager for the devices it is managing, and
will add those to the list of IP addresses to discover.
5 Click Discover . The discovery will proceed as with any other discovery for a specific set of IP
addresses.
6 Once the discovery has completed, you can add the Avaya network devices to the Inventory
Manager database. The discovery typically discovers both Avaya network devices and Avaya IP
phones.
NOTE
It is recommended that you NOT add Avaya IP phones into the EPICenter Inventory database. IP
phones cannot be managed by EPICenter. If you add them to the Inventory database they will appear
on EPICenter Topology maps and in the Component Tree, and they will be counted in the number of
devices allowed under the terms of your EPICenter license agreement, even though they cannot be
managed through EPICenter.
Avaya Devices in EPICenter
EPICenter manages Avaya devices as it manages other known third-party devices. It provides device
images for the different types of Avaya devices in the Device Details view in the Inventory Manager.
Avaya devices are denoted in the Component Tree with an Avaya icon , as shown in Figure 60.
