IP Office VPN Issue

IPoffice 7 - The 9600 vpn settings are in the 46xxsettings.txt file

Upon each restart the 9600 series phones on the LAN prompt for VPN username. Users must access craft and disable the VPN then restart the phone. Is it possible to have 9600 series phone internally(lan) and externally(vpn) configured independantly so this doesn't occur?

Thanks

You should be able to disable it in the 46xxsettings.txt file.

Wouldn't chaning the setting the the 46xxsettings.txt file affect all 9600 series phones? I want the VPN enabled on the external phones and disabled on internal.

Use a different file server for external/Internal phones.

You don't need a different fileserver. You could assign a group value to those users, and then have a conditional check on the settings file such that only those users are assigned specific values, such as:

IF $GROUP SEQ 876 goto VPN
goto NOVPN
# VPN
SET NVVPNMODE 0
# NOVPN


In this example, group number 876 = VPN on the keypad so its easy to remember. On VPN phones you can assign the group setting (GROUP) to 876, which will load the parameters you need, and these parameters will be skipped if not 876.
