IP Office H323 IP Phones: Installation Requirements
1.7 Licenses
The following licensing rules apply to the support of Avaya H323 IP phones on IP Office Release 6 systems.
IP500 and IP500 V2 IP Office Systems
On IP500 and IP500 V2 systems, Avaya IP Endpoint license are these licenses are required for Avaya H323 IP phones. This includes all 1600, 4600, 5600, 9600, IP DECT, DECT R4, T3 IP, Spectralink and VPN phones supported by IP Office Release 6.
∙The system will automatically license 12 Avaya IP phones for each IP500 VCM 32 or VCM 64 card installed in the system without requiring additional licenses to be added to the configuration.
∙Additional Avaya IP phones are licensed either by the addition of Avaya IP Endpoints licenses above or the conversion of legacy IP500 VCM Channels licenses to Channel Migration licenses (see below).
∙By default licenses are consumed by each Avaya IP phone that registers with the IP Office in the order that they register. The license is released if the phone unregisters. However, it is possible to reserve a license for particular phones in order to ensure that they phones always obtain a license. This is done through the Reserve Avaya IP Endpoint Licence setting of each IP extension.
∙Avaya IP phones without a license will still be able to register but will be limited to making emergency calls only (Dial Emergency short code calls). The associated user will be treated as if logged off and the phone will display "No license available". If a license becomes available, it will be assigned to any unlicensed DECT handsets first and then to any other unlicensed Avaya IP phone in the order that the phones registered.
∙For existing IP500 systems being upgraded to IP Office Release 6, the existing VCM channels and IP500 VCM Channels license are treated as follows:
∙For each IP400 VCM card installed in the system, each VCM channel supported by the card allows support for 3 Avaya IP phones.
∙For each IP500 VCM32 and IP500 VCM64 card installed in the system, the 4 unlicensed VCM channels previously provided by each card are converted to allow unlicensed support of 12 Avaya IP phones.
∙For each legacy IP500 VCM Channels license, the license are converted Channel Migration licenses supporting 3 Avaya IP phones. See the Channel Migration license below.
∙The IP500 VCM 32 and IP500 VCM 64 cards will provide their full capacity of VCM channels, ie. providing up to 32 or 64 channels depending on the card type and the codecs being used.
Other IP Office Systems
On other IP Office systems, licenses are only required for phones using VPNremote firmware.
