You can manually enter the IP address or can search on the network to discover the
system. If it cannot find the system online it will give you the option of running the
offline configuration tool to create a system.
The systems you add to the network do not have to be running in Server Edition
mode but they must be running 8.1 software, any Branch, Norstar or Partner version
systems are ignored.
You do not need to apply a software upgrade license if adding an IP500v2 as the
system will obtain all licenses that it needs to operate from the Primary server once it
is added to the network.
When adding an existing IP500v2 device to the network the configuration of that
system would normally be defaulted, however there is also an option to retain the
configuration when adding the device to the network.
Some changes will be made to the system, for example it will setup the Voicemail
access, it will delete any existing SCN trunks and add a new trunk to the Primary and
Secondary server if present, hunt groups will be deleted as these can only exist on
the Primary server so will need to be added to the system again.
IP Office Manager Installation
IP Office Manager can be installed in two ways; using the traditional 8.1 Admin DVD
or it can be installed using the Admin Lite package which can be downloaded from
AppCenter in the Primary Server web control.
The Admin Lite package is around 100MB in size and has slightly reduced
functionality over the full admin DVD installation. It does contain the binaries
necessary to upgrade the IP500v2 and associated expansion modules but it does not
contain any system files, these are things like the phone firmware packages.
Because of this the Admin Lite version of Manager cannot be used to re-create SD
cards; this option will be greyed out in the Manager menu. Other than that it is a fully
functioning version of Manager. Installing Admin Lite will also install the SSA and
System Monitor applications.
