Description

1.Edit the default and phone-specific configuration file(s).

The table below shows the relationship between the parameters that must be configured for the phone and those administered in the Converged Communications Server for a telephony user. A sample value is shown for the configuration in Figure 1. Parameter names have the form ObjectNameXParamName, where “X” refers to the line appearance number to which the parameter applies (1-2 for the 7940 and 1-6 for the 7960 phone). The table shows the parameters for the first line appearance. Although other parameters may be configured, those listed are the minimum required for successful registration of the phone with the Converged Communications Server. Normally, the proxy parameters would reside in the default configuration file, and the name and password would reside in the phone-specific file. In the example, specification of the bitmap to be displayed as a logo on the phone (“Powered by Avaya”) is in the default configuration file. See Figures 2-3for sample files.
