Installing the Quick Edition IP Telephone
Avaya one-X Quick Edition Release 2.0.0 Telephone User Guide

The procedure for connecting the first Quick Edition IP Telephone to the LAN is different
compared to the procedure for connecting subsequent Telephones to the LAN. When you
connect the first Telephone, the Telephone creates the network (see
To connect the first
Telephone to an 802.3af PoE-compliant Ethernet LAN on page 31
). Additional Telephones that
you add subsequently are required to join the network (see
To connect additional Telephones to
an 802.3af PoE-compliant Ethernet LAN on page 32
).
Note:
Note:
Avaya one-X Quick Edition devices frequently check the software running on the
network to determine whether all software loads are compatible. You may see
messages related to these checks when you add a new Telephone to the
network.
If the major software version number of any software running on the network is not
compatible (for example, one device has version 3.0 and at least one other device has
version 2.0), the Telephones having older builds (lowest version number) will display
the software compatibility message "Mismatched software versions". All one-X Quick
Edition devices making up the network must have identical major software version
numbers.
If the minor version number is not identical (for example, one device has version 2.2
and at least one other device has version 2.1), the Telephones having older builds will
display the software compatibility message "Newer software available".
You cannot clear these notification messages—the system clears them automatically
when different software versions are no longer detected.
When you install a Quick Edition IP Telephone, you are prompted for a name. The one-X Quick
Edition system associates the name with a telephone extension automatically. The name that
you enter should belong to the person who will be using the Telephone. Entering the person’s
last name followed by the first name enables the following recommended system setup:
●
The names in the Corporate directory are sorted alphabetically by last name.
●
The dial-by-name function of the Auto Attendant feature attempts to match caller key
presses to the Corporate directory name, starting with the first character of the last name.

To connect the first Telephone to an 802.3af PoE-compliant Ethernet LAN
Two Ethernet jacks are located on the back of the Telephone (at the top of the housing). A LAN
icon and a PC icon represent their correct use. Take care to plug the Cat5 cable into the LAN
port when you connect the Telephone to the LAN.
1. Plug one end of the supplied Cat5 modular line cord into the LAN port on the Telephone,
and connect the other end to the Ethernet LAN.
After the Telephone initializes, you are prompted to create a site.
