Note 1: If your home network is not configured as described in the
preceding figures, contact your system administrator for assistance.
Note 2: You cannot connect multiple PCs directly to the PC port on
the IP Deskphone.
Note 3: 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 Figure4 on page 37.
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.
