Note: If your home network is not configured as described in the above figures, contact your system administrator for assistance.
Note: You cannot connect multiple PCs directly to the PC port on the IP Deskphone.
Note: The Avaya Phone VPN Configuration Wizard requires direct communication with the IP Deskphone on the network. Ensure that your network allows devices to communicate with each other on the local network. Some network equipment allows you to isolate devices from each other. If you are unsure, it is recommended that you temporarily connect your PC to the IP Deskphone to run the initial Avaya Phone VPN Configuration Wizard. See Figure 8 on page 50.
QoS configuration recommendations
Avaya recommends that you connect the PC to the IP Deskphones PC Ethernet Port as the IP Deskphone provides Quality of Service (QoS) on outbound traffic automatically.
If other PCs share the internet connection then Avaya recommends that you configure QoS for outbound traffic and prioritize the IP Deskphone traffic. Typical QoS methods that are available are port based priority, MAC Address based Priority, and IP Address based Priority. To configure QoS, see your router documentation.
