Set/Show IP address for IP Office

Although normally done from within the the Manager program, you can also display or change the IP adresss of either LAN port via the RS232 (DTE) Maintenance port on the back of the IP Office. They may be instances where this is useful.

DTE Port Settings:

Enter the following commands (in bold) when the IPOffice is up and running:

DTE Port Programming

This procedure will allow you to reconfigure an Avaya IP Office back to factory defaults if you don’t know the units IP Address or password using the DTE serial port on the back of an IP Office Control Unit.

Overview

The DTE port on the back of an IP Office Control Unit is not normally used when configuring an IP Office system. However the DTE port can be used to erase the system’s operational software and/or configuration if necessary.

Due to the drastic nature of these actions they should only be performed if absolutely necessary to return a system back to working order. In either case you must ensure that you have a backup copy of the system configuration.

Adding licenses to IP Office

Various IP Office features and applications require entry of license keys into the system’s configuration. License keys are unique 32-character codes based on the feature being activated and the Feature Key Dongle (System SD Card) serial number.

The serial number is printed on the Feature Key Dongle and prefixed with (IP500) or FK (IP500 V2). It can also be viewed in the system configuration using IP Office Manager. You’ll need this number to order a new License key for a new feature.

Listen to another extension in IP Office

Monitor (Listen to) a call on another extension(Compliments of Kyle L Holladay, Sr, R.I.P.)

In this example we will program the IP Office to allow extension 1152 to listen to (Call Listen) extension 1153. While we will focus on the Call Listen feature in this example the programming for Call Intrude is identical with the exception of the button programmed to perform the Listen/Intrude action.

Call Listen: allows one user to listen in on another user’s call but does not allow that user to be an active participant. This is a “listen only” feature.
Call Intrude: allows one user to intrude on another user’s call thus becomming a full participant in the conversation. The use of the MUTE feature can make this a listen only action however the intruding party can fully participate in the voice conversation at any time.

Edit IP Office config in Excel

Editing an IP Office configuration in Excel(Compliments of Kyle L Holladay, Sr, R.I.P.)

Many items in your IP Office configuration can be edited directly in the configuration.csv file outside of the Manager application saving a large amount of time. This guide will provide basic information on how to export your configuraiton.csv and edit select User information. Until you are comfortable with this method I would suggest that you limit its use to a lab environment

Note: You MUST NOT add nor delete any records when using this method. (i.e. you cannot add/delete an extension, user, incoming call route). You must create all records in Manager before doing your Export. You can then modify the information associated with that record using the method below.
