5.1.5. Add stations

Use the add-stationcommand to add a station for each SIP phone to be supported. Use 4620 for the Station Type and be sure to include the Coverage Path for voice messaging if it is available. Use the COS value specified in the previous section. The Name field is optional and is shown on the display of the destination phone when making calls. Use default values for the other fields on Page 1.

Note: For Outboard Proxy SIP configuration, the station extension must be different than that administered for the Avaya Converged Communications Server. The Communication Manager extension will be the “public” extension that users associate with their phones. The Avaya Converged Communications Server extension will be a “private” extension that is used in the system configuration, but is not dialed by users. To make it easy to relate the two, make the extensions the same except for one high order digit. For example, in the following Outboard Proxy SIP configuration, the public Communication Manager extension is 24071 and the private Converged Communications Server extension is 23071.
