System

Fields within this tab allow you to configure settings related to the Control Unit. The following fields are configurable:

• 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 such as Gatekeeper require the system to have a name. This field is case sensitive and within any network of IP Offices must be unique. Do not use punctuation characters such as #, ?, /, -,. and ,.

• Locale:
  This option sets country and language variations based on a three letter value. The main purpose is to set the default ringing and caller display types for the system. See Supported Country and Locale Settings.

• Password: Default = password
  A password for controlling access to the operation of the Control Unit. This is required to upgrade and reboot and to send or receive configurations from the Control Unit. This is a required option and a prompt is given if left blank.

• Confirm Password:
  This is used to check that the password entered in the Password field has been entered correctly. A warning message appears requesting you to re-confirm the password if the fields differ.

• Monitor Password: Default = blank
  This password is used by the Monitor and Call Status applications to allow communication with the main unit. If left blank these applications will use the System Password above.

• Confirm Monitor Password:
  This is used to check that the password entered in the Monitor Password field has been entered correctly. A warning message appears requesting you to re-confirm the password if the fields differ.

• Time Server IP Address: Default = Blank
  Sets a specific address for the Control Unit's time server requests. Blank or 0.0.0.0 means default operation as above. 0.0.0.1 disables time server updates.

• Time Offset (Hours): Default = Blank
  If the IP Office resides in a time zone that is different from that of the time server, this field needs to be configured to compensate for the time difference. For example, if the time server is 5 hours ahead of the IP Office, then this field must be configured with -5 to make the adjustment.

• TFTP Server IP Address: Default = Blank
  When Manager is running, it acts as a TFTP server for the IP Office Control Unit. An entry is only required here if you want to force the Control Unit to use a particular device as its TFTP server. This field must be filled in with the IP address of the PC running Manager on systems using 4600 Series IP phones. On Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition systems, this can be the IP Address of the control unit if fitted with a local memory storage card.

• License Server IP Address: Default = 255.255.255.255
  The IP address of the server PC providing license key validation for the Control Unit. For a serial licence key plugged directly into a Avaya IP Office - Small Office Edition control unit, the field should be left blank. Note that each IP Office Control Unit requires a separate server PC for license validation. See License Form .

• Beep on Listen: Default = On (USA)/On (ROW)

• Hide auto record: Default = On (USA)/Off (ROW)

• Favour RIP Routes, over static routes: Default = Off
  If enabled and a static route is configured for a specific destination and a RIP route is received for that same destination, the RIP route will be added to the routing table and used, regardless of the metric it has. If this field is not enabled, then a RIP route that is received at the same destination to a configured static route will be discarded.
