Avaya 1600 Series, 16-601443 manual Administering Telephone Options

Chapter 7: Administering Telephone Options

Administering Options for the 1600 Series IP Telephones

This chapter explains how to change parameters by means of the DHCP or HTTP servers. In all cases, you are setting a system parameter in the telephone to a desired value. Table 8 lists:

●the parameter names,

●their default values,

●the valid ranges for those values, and

●a description of each one.

For DHCP, the DHCP Option sets these parameters to the desired values as discussed in DHCP and File Servers on page 43. For HTTP, the parameters in Table 8 are set to desired values in the script file. For more information, see Contents of the Settings File on page 64. When using a media server, see Table 7: Media Server Field Names & Corresponding Script File Parameter Names on page 58 for information on parameters set by the media server application.

Avaya recommends that you administer options on the 1600 Series IP Telephones using script files. Some DHCP applications have limits on the amount of user-specified information. The administration required can exceed those limits for the more full-featured telephone models.

You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from the dialpad. You can set the system value, PROCPSWD, as part of standard DHCP/HTTP administration. Alternately, you can set PROCPSWD on the system-parameters ip-options form, as of Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, the user cannot invoke any “dialpad options” without first pressing Mute and entering the PROCPSWD value. For more information on dialpad options, see the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

! CAUTION:

PROCPSWD is likely stored on the server “in the clear” and is sent to the telephone in the clear. Therefore, do not consider PROCPSWD as a high-security technique to inhibit a sophisticated user from obtaining access to local procedures.

Administering this password can limit access to all local procedures, including V I E W. VIEW is a read-only option that allows review of the current telephone settings.
