Configuring IP Office remotely using Manager

Last Updated : Dec 21, 2012 |

You can use Manager to administer the IP Office system remotely through the SSL VPN tunnel. When you use Manager through the SSL VPN tunnel, automatic discovery of IP Office systems is not supported. You must configure the IP address of the system that you want to connect to. Use this procedure to connect the Manager application to IP Office through the SSL VPN tunnel.

For information about how to configure Manager, and how to use it to administer an IP Office system, see Avaya IP Office Manager.

Before you begin

The SSL VPN tunnel must be in service, and you must have the following information:

  • the IP address of the SSL VPN tunnel

  • the account name for the IP Office administrator account

  • the password for the IP Office administrator account

Procedure

  1. Select Start > Programs > IP Office > Manager.
  2. Click the icon to Open Configuration from IP Office.

    The Select IP Office dialog box displays.
