System Mode

Sets the operating mode of the server. The options available depend on the type of server platform. For further details, refer to the appropriate IP Office deployment manual.

• For Linux-based servers:

  • Server Edition

  • Server Edition - Select

  • Server Edition - Subscription

• For an IP500 V2 server:

  • IP Office Standard Edition

  • IP Office Subscription

  • IP Office ACO ATA Gateway

  • Server Edition Expansion

  • Server Edition Expansion - Subscription

• For an existing IP Office being reconfigured, the choice of system modes is restricted. For example, you cannot change a subscription mode system to non-subscription mode. In order display the full set of options, you must default the IP Office system configuration .

System Name

A name to identify this system. This is typically used to identify the configuration by the location or customer's company name. Some features require the system to have a name.

• This field is case sensitive and within any network of systems must be unique.

• Do not use <, >, |, \0, :, *, ?, . or /.

Retain Configuration Data

This option is shown for existing servers where the initial configuration menu is being rerun.

• If cleared, the existing configuration of the IP Office system is defaulted.

• If enabled, the existing configuration is retained. However, some elements of that configuration may be invalid or ignored. It is your responsibility to ensure that the final configuration is valid.

Locale

This setting sets default telephony and language settings based on the selection. It also sets various external line settings and so must be set correctly to ensure correct operation of the system. See Avaya IP Office Locale Settings. For individual users, the system settings can be overridden through their own locale setting (User > User > Locale).

Default Extension Password

Default = Existing default extension password

The field provides you with option to view and edit the existing default extension password. The default extension password is set up during IP Office installation either by the administrator or is randomly generated by the system. The system generated random password is of 10 digits. Use the Eye icon to see the existing default password. The password must be between 9 to 13 digits.

Hosted Deployment

This option is only used on non-subscription Server Edition system. If enabled, it indicates that the system is a hosted deployment.

Services Device ID

This setting is shown for Server Edition servers only. The ID is displayed on the Solution view, System Inventory and on the System > System tab in the configuration.

• The value can be changed using the Device ID field on the System > System Events configuration tab.

System ID

This is a fixed value against which the system's subscriptions are issued and validated.

• For an IP500 V2 system, this ID is based on the System SD card installed in the system.

Customer ID

The customer ID specified when the system was registered for subscriptions.

License Server Address

The address of the server which provides the system with its subscriptions.

Public LAN Interface

Select which of the server's LAN interfaces is connected to the customer network routed to the external internet. Additional IP Route details are added to the system configuration based on this choice.

Gateway

The address of the default gateway on the customer network to which non-LAN traffic should be routed.

After initial configuration, a default IP route is created, using this address and the selected Public LAN Interface setting.

DNS Server

The address used on the customer network for resolution of DNS queries. This is either the customer's DNS server or the DNS address provided by their internet service provider.

LAN1 CONFIGURATION/LAN2 CONFIGURATION

Separate sets of LAN configuration details are shown for LAN1 and LAN2.

IP Address

The base IP address for the LAN. The defaults are 192.168.42.1 for LAN1 and 192.168.43.1 for LAN2.

If the server is acting as the DHCP server for the LAN, this is the starting address for the DHCP address range.

IP Subnet Mask

Default = 255.255.255.0. This is the IP subnet mask used with the IP address.

DHCP Mode

Select whether the server performs DHCP for the LAN.

• Server - When this option is selected, the system will act as a DHCP Server on this LAN, allocating address to other devices on the network and to PPP Dial in users.

  • Devices on requesting an address are allocated addresses from the bottom of the available address range upwards.

  • Dial In users are allocated addresses from the top of the available range downwards.

  • If the control unit is acting as a DHCP server on LAN1 and LAN2, Dial in users are allocated their address from the LAN1 pool of addresses first.

• Disabled - When this option is selected, the system will not use DHCP to get or issue IP addresses.

• Dial In - When this option is selected, the system will allocate DHCP addresses to PPP Dial In users only. On systems using DHCP pools, only addresses from a pool on the same subnet as the system's own LAN address will be used.

• Client - When this option is selected, the system request its IP Address and IP Mask from another DHCP server on the LAN.

Enable NAT

Default = Off.

Shown for IP500 V2 systems only. This setting controls whether NAT should be used for IP traffic from LAN1 to LAN2.

Server Edition Primary Server

For secondary and expansion servers, specify the address of the primary server.

Server Edition Secondary Server

For primary and expansion servers, specify the address of the secondary server.

WebSocket Password

For each of the addresses set above, a bi-directional WebSocket connection is created. A matching password must be set at each end of the line.

DNS Server

This is the IP address of a DNS Server. If this field is left blank, the system uses its own address as the DNS server for DHCP client and forwards DNS requests to the service provider when Request DNS is selected in the service being used (Service > IP).

Time Setting Configuration Source

An accurate time source and settings are vital to many functions, including any services that use certificates. Avaya recommend that you use SNTP and a reliable source such as time.google.com.

• None

  Set the system date and time manually using a phone with System Phone Rights (User > User).

• SNTP

  Use a list of SNTP servers to obtain the UTC time. The IP Office tries the addresses in the list one at a time in order until there is a response. The system makes a request to the specified addresses following a reboot and every hour afterwards.

• Voicemail Pro/Manager (Obsolete)

  The Windows-based Voicemail Pro service and the IP Office Manager program can act as RFC868 Time servers for the IP Office system. Use of other RFC868 server sources is not supported. They provide both the UTC time value and the local time as set on the PC. The system makes a request to the specified address following a reboot and every 8 hours afterwards.

The following setting is available when the Time Setting Configuration Source is set to SNTP.

Time Server Address

Default = Blank

A list of SNTP servers the used to obtain the UTC time.

• The records in the list are used one at a time until there is a response.

  The system makes a request to the specified addresses following a reboot and every hour afterwards.

Under Centralized Management

When selected, the additional fields below are shown.

SMGR Address

Enter the IP address of the System Manager server managing the branch network.

Redundant SMGR Address

Enter the IP address of the secondary System Manager server managing the network.

SMGR Community

The shared community name for servers within the branch network.

SNMP Device ID

The unique SNMP ID for the IP Office server within the network.

Trap Community

The public name for sending SNMP trap alarms.

SCEP Domain Certificate Name

The domain name for SCEP (Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol) operation in the branch network.

Certificate Enrollment (SCEP) Password

The password for requesting certificates from the network's SCEP server.
