Virtual Private Network

Virtual Private Network

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that uses a public network infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide you with secure access to the private network of your organization.

The IP Deskphone VPN feature allows you to connect to your organization’s private network from a public or remote network. For example, you can use your home public Internet connection to connect to your organization’s private network.

This chapter describes the procedure to upgrade the software of your IP Deskphone (if required) and configure the VPN on your IP Deskphone. An installation wizard helps you perform the necessary steps.

Note: The Avaya Phone VPN Configuration Wizard uses the default language of the operating system of your PC. If the language is not supported by the wizard, the default wizard language is English.

Your system administrator provides you with all the necessary files you require to configure your IP Deskphone for VPN, and helps you to resolve any errors that occur during configuration.
