You can use locations to apply a range of common settings to IP Office systems, extensions, and IP lines in the same physical location. For example, each location can define the timezone settings applied to extensions in that location. See Using Locations.
  • When you have defined any Location entries, you must assign locations to each IP Office system in the network.

Settings

You can merge these settings without needing to reboot the IP Office.
Field
Description
Location Name
Default = Blank.
Use this field to set a name that identifies the location.
  • System alarms for emergency calls include the location name.
  • J189 phones with an emergency view button display the location name.
Location ID
Default = Automatically assigned. Read-only.
For Avaya Wireless DECT, you can enter the value into the configuration of a base station. That associates emergency calls made by extensions using that base station with the location's emergency ARS and address settings. See the Deploying Avaya Wireless DECT with IP Office manual.
Subnet Address
Default = Blank (Not used)
The IPv4 address associated with this location.
  • The value must be unique for each location. If there are overlapping IP address ranges, extensions will use the first match found which may not be the correct location.
Subnet Mask
Default = Blank.
The subnet mask for the IPv4 address above.
Subnet Address (IPv6)
Default = Blank (Not used)
The IPv6 subnet address for extensions in the location.
  • The value must be unique for each location. If there are overlapping IP address ranges, extensions will use the first match found which may not be the correct location.
  • If also using IPv4 Subnet Address and Subnet Mask to match extensions to a location, you need to create a separate location entry for IPv6 Subnet Address (IPv6)/Prefix extension IP address matching.
  • Supported on Linux-based IP Office R12.1 systems only. To enable IPv6 support, select LAN1LAN Setting (IPv6)IPv6 and/or LAN2LAN Setting (IPv6)IPv6.
Prefix
Default = 64. Range 1 to 128.
The prefix for the IPv6 sub-net address above.
Emergency ARS
Default = None.
This setting sets which ARS entry the IP Office should use to route emergency calls made from the location. Refer to the IP Office Emergency Call Configuration manual.
When the dialing on an extension associated with the location matches a Dial Emergency short code, this setting overrides the Line Group ID setting of the short code.
Fallback System
Default = No override.
The list contains all configured IP Office lines and the associated IP Office system. The group of extensions associated with this location can fallback to the selected IP Office system.

Call Admission Control

The call admission control (CAC) settings allow you to control the number of IP trunk calls between locations. See Configuring Call Admission Control.
Field
Description
Total Maximum Calls
Default = Unlimited. Range = 1 - 99, Unlimited.
Limit of all calls to or from other configured locations and the cloud.
External Maximum Calls
Default = Unlimited. Range = 1 - 99, Unlimited.
Limit of calls to or from the cloud in this location.
Internal Maximum Calls
Default = Unlimited. Range = 1 - 99, Unlimited.
Limit of calls to or from other configured locations in this location.
Parent Location for CAC
Default = None.
The options are None, Cloud or the name of another configured location.
  • When set to Cloud, the IP Office treats the parent location as external to the IP Office network. The IP Office counts calls to this location from other locations as external, but does not apply any CAC limits to the location.

Time Settings

The IP Office supports location-based time on 1100, 1200, 1600, 9600 and J100 Series phones.
Field
Description
Time Zone
Default = Same as System
Select a time zone from the list.
  • If set to Same as System, the location uses the same time zone as configured for the IP Office system:
    • For IP500 V2 systems, the time zone is set through the SystemSystem menu.
    • For Linux-based servers, the time zone is set through the server’s Platform View menus.
  • When set to a specific time zone, you can use the settings below to adjust the time.
Field
Description
Local Time Offset from UTC
Default = Based on the selected locale and time zone. See Avaya IP Office Locale Settings.
Sets the local time difference from the UTC time value obtained using SNTP. For example, if the system or location is 5 hours behind UTC, set this field as -05:00.
  • You can adjust the offset in 15-minute increments.
  • Use this offset for the standard time. To apply any additional offset for daylight-saving time periods, using the settings below.
Automatic DST
Default = Based on the selected locale and time zone. See Avaya IP Office Locale Settings.
When enabled, the system automatically corrects for daylight-saving time (DST) changes using the settings below.
Clock Forward/Back Settings
Default = Based on the selected locale and time zone. See Avaya IP Office Locale Settings.
This field displays entries for when the IP Office should apply and remove a daylight-saving time offset in addition to the Local Time Offset from UTC.
You can configure up to 10 entries (20 for IP Office R11.1.3.2 and higher).
  • To edit an entry, select it and then click Edit.
  • To delete an entry, select it and click Delete.
  • To add a new entry, click Add New Entry at the bottom of the list. If necessary, delete an existing entry before adding a new one.
Each entry has the following settings:
Field
Description
DST Offset
The number of hours to shift the local time for DST.
Clock Forward/Back
Select Clock Forward to see and edit when the clock will move forward to start daylight saving.
Select Clock Back to see and edit when the clock will move backward to end daylight saving.
Local Time To Go Forward
The time of day to move the clock forward to start daylight saving.
Local Time To Go Back
The time of day to move the clock backward to end daylight saving.
Date for Clock Forward/Back
The date for moving the clock forwards or backwards. Select the date by double-clicking on it in the calendar.
