Introduction
This sections covers only the most basic aspects of system programming required to
install an Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system. When first powered up, all Avaya
IP Office - Small Office Edition systems will operate as a simple PBX. However, full
system programming is highly dependent on customer requirements. Hence, some basic
Initial Programming must be performed before detailed configuration programming is
possible. The Administration CD (supplied with each system) contains the suite of
programs required to install and maintain the Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition
system. Once loaded, inter-active
Help
files provide all the instructions and details
required to operate and administer the program suite.
Programming Tools
The Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition supports programming through any one of its
10/100 Base-T switch port connections. The tools required for programming of a newly
installed Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system are:
– PC running Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP or ME (see page 14).
– PC with a LAN (NIC) card with either a fixed IP address (allocated by your system
administrator) or by using DHCP to obtain an IP address.
– Small Office Edition Cat. 5E patch cable (red – supplied with system see page 39).
– Small Office Edition Administration (supplied on CD1 with system – see page 22).
–
Small Office Edition Manager Application Manual (supplied on CD3 with).
–
Small Office Edition Feature Key (where software that requires a Licence Key is to be
installed).
Note:
Once installed, the software level of all software fitted to the Avaya IP Office -
Small Office Edition system can be identified. With Manager running, use
File/Advanced/Upgrade
to display menu. Refer to the Manager Application Manual
for details of system configuration, software upgrade, etc.
PC to Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition LAN Port Connection
An Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system, when first powered up, will scan the
LAN for a DHCP server that will allocate it with an IP address. If the Avaya IP Office -
Small Office Edition system does not find a DHCP server then it will automatically become
a DHCP server itself with an IP address of 192.168.42.1. The Avaya IP Office - Small
Office Edition system will allocate an IP address to the PC if required. Initially, the Avaya
IP Office - Small Office Edition system assumes that all addresses are on the local LAN
and that the PC software supplied uses broadcast to establish communication with the
Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition system.
The Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition can be connected in either one of two ways;
either directly to a PC or as part of a LAN. Both methods use an Avaya IP Office - Small
Office Edition Cat. 5E patch cable (see page 39) connected between one of the LAN ports
on the front of the Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition and the PC/LAN.
–
Direct Connection:
This method is used for local system programming directly from a PC.
–
LAN Network Connection:
This is the option to use for remote programming access. It will require liaison with the
LAN network manager to obtain the IP address details and to ensure that the IP traffic
routing is allowed. When connected to an IP LAN network, you must consult with the
Network Manager to obtain the required IP settings. For IP operation the Avaya IP
Office - Small Office Edition requires a static IP address including a subnet mask and
default gateway value.
