Locations allows you to apply a range of common settings to systems, extensions and IP lines that are in the same location. For example, each location can define the timezone settings to be applied to extensions in that location. See Using Locations.

Settings

These settings can be edited online. Changes to these settings do not require a reboot of the system.
Field
Description
Location Name
Default = Blank.
A meaningful location name, clearly identifying the location. The location name is included in system alarms for emergency calls. It is also shown on J189 phones with an emergency view button.
Location ID
Default = Based on existing configured locations, the next incremental value is assigned.
This field is read only. For DECT R4, this value can be entered into the configuration of a base station in order to associate emergency calls made by extensions using that base station with location emergency ARS and address settings. Refer to the IP Office DECT R4 Installation manual.
Subnet Address
Default = Blank.
The IP address associated with this location. The subnet where this IP address resides must be unique across all configured locations. Overlapping IP address ranges between locations will cause extensions to use the first match found which may not be the correct location.
Subnet Mask
Default = Blank.
The subnet mask for this IP address.
Emergency ARS
Default = None.
This setting sets which ARS (Alternate Route Selection) entry on the system should be used to route emergency calls from location. Refer to the IP Office Emergency Call Configuration manual.
When the dialing on an extension associated with the location matches a Dial Emergency shortcode, this setting overrides the Line Group ID setting of the shortcode.
Fallback System
Default = No override.
The drop down 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 alternate system selected.

Call Admission Control

The call admission control (CAC) settings allow the number of calls on IP trunks between locations to be controlled. 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 The default setting.
  • Cloud The parent location is an internet address external to the IP Office network. When set to Cloud, the Call Admission Control (CAC) settings are disabled. Calls to this location from other configured locations are counted as external, yet no CAC limits are applied to the location itself.

Time Settings

For extensions, the display of location based time is only supported on 1100, 1200, 1600, 9600 and J100 Series phones plus D100, E129 and B179 telephones.
Field
Description
Time Zone
Default = Same as System
Select a time zone from the list.
  • If set to Same as System, then the time zone configured for the system is used:
    • For IP500 V2 systems, the time zone is set through the time settings on the SystemSystem menu.
    • For Linux based servers, the time zone is set through the server’s Platform View menus.
  • When set to a specific timezone, the settings below are also usable to further 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.
This setting is used to set the local time difference from the UTC time value provided by SNTP. For example, if the system is 5 hours behind UTC, configured this field as -05:00.
  • You can adjust the offset in 15 minute increments.
    Use this offset for the standard (non-daylight savings time) time. To apply an 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.
  • In order to add a new entry you may need to delete an existing entry. The option Add New Entry then appears at the bottom of the list.
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.
