Avaya Distributed Office

Custom — The profile is not a Standard profile and needs to be created.

None (Default)— The default profile associated with the hardware construct will be shipped and the provisioning data will be entered when the system is installed.

The deployment of a Distributed Office system is called "configure-to-order" if the provisioning profile is standard or custom. The deployment is called "made-to-stock" if the default profile is shipped. For a configure-to-order deployment, some or all of the customer-specific provisioning data is loaded onto the Distributed Office platform and all of the system components are assembled and tested before it is shipped to the customer site. A configure-to-order deployment minimizes or eliminates the implementation tasks at installation time.

For a made-to-stock deployment, no customer-specific provisioning data is associated with the Distributed Office system before it is shipped to the customer site. The system components are shipped separately from one or more distribution points. The made-to-stock platform contains a default profile that provides a minimal amount of provisioning data that is needed for the hardware construct.

Provisioning status

The provisioning status of a Distributed Office system when it is shipped to the customer location is one of the following:

Fully configured. Minimum additions or changes to the provisioning data. Use Local Manager to check the data.

Partially configured. Some additions or changes to the provisioning data. Use the Profile-based Setup Assistant to add or change the dynamic portion of the provisioning data.

Configure from scratch. All provisioning data must be entered. Use the Initial Setup Assistant to make the system operable. Then use Local Manager to enter the provisioning data.

Fully configured systems

For a fully configured system, all of the provisioning data, including location-specific data, has been obtained from the customer and loaded onto the i40 or i120 Distributed Office module before shipment to the branch location. At installation, only the hardware assembly and acceptance testing is required.

Typically, there will be some minor additions or adjustments to the provisioning data. This can be done either locally, using the Local Manager application, or remotely, using the Distributed Office Central Manager.
