Starting your Avaya Vantage device

Last Updated : Mar 12, 2020 |

About this task

Use this procedure to turn on your Avaya Vantage™ device and connect it to a power source or Ethernet cable. This procedure also describes how to go through the Device Enrollment Services discovery process for automatic setup of the device.

After the Avaya Vantage™ device powers up and initializes, it attempts to get the file server address from DHCP or LLDP, if configured. Otherwise, it attempts Device Enrollment Services discovery and one of the following occurs:

  • Device Enrollment Services provides the file server address to the device automatically. In this case, no further action is required from you.

  • You must enter an enrollment code for Device Enrollment Services to redirect the device to the file server.

Before you begin

If Device Enrollment Services is configured to use an enrollment code, ensure that you have the code. Device Enrollment Services supports an 8 or 12–digit enrollment code. For more information about enrollment codes, see Using Avaya Device Enrollment Services to Manage Endpoints.

Procedure

  1. Optional Connect a power adapter to the 48-V DC power connector at the back of the device and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet if:

    • Your network does not support the 802.3at (PoE) or 802.3af (PoE) injector specification.

    • You want to use a Wi-Fi connection.

  2. To use a wired Ethernet connection, plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN port at the back of Avaya Vantage™ and the other end into an available LAN port on your network.

    Avaya Vantage™ powers up and starts to initialize.

  3. Optional If prompted, enter the Device Enrollment Services enrollment code.

    Device Enrollment Services supports an 8 or 12-digit enrollment code. After you enter the code, Device Enrollment Services provides the file server address. If you do not enter the enrollment code and tap Cancel instead, the Device Enrollment Services process is cancelled and you must configure the device manually.

Result

After the device receives the configuration file server address, it starts downloading the required configuration files and updated firmware files from the file server. When there is a software image upgrade, the process can take approximately 1 hour. If there is no software upgrade, the startup process typically takes between 4 to 20 minutes. After the configuration is complete, the device displays a background, which indicates that you can now log in and use the device.

If the device does not receive the file server configuration from Device Enrollment Services, the Android installation wizard is displayed to help you set up your K165 and K175 devices. The wizard is not available on K155 devices.
