Steps for registering with an Avaya communication server

To register with the Avaya communication server:

1.When you start Avaya IP Agent, the Login window is displayed. If this window is not displayed, select File > Station Login from the Avaya IP Agent main window.

Avaya IP Agent displays the Login window for your IP Endpoint configuration.

2.In the Extension field, enter your extension, which has been administered for Avaya IP Agent on the Avaya communication server.

3.In the Password field, enter the numeric password for the specified extension.

4.In the Call Server Address field, enter the IP Address or name of the Avaya communication server.

5.Ensure that the correct information is specified in the appropriate field:

●Telephone At - This is the telephone or extension number that will receive incoming calls. This number cannot be the same as the number entered in the Extension field. The Avaya communication server administrator will have created a new extension to support voice communication.

●Dialing Location - Select the entry that contains the appropriate telephony properties for your current location.

6.If you do not want to enter your password each time you register with the Avaya communication server, place a check mark in the Remember password for next login session check box. If you are concerned with the possibility of unauthorized persons registering as this extension, leave this check box blank.

7.If you want to automatically register with the Avaya communication server when Avaya IP Agent is started at a later time, enable the Automatically log in if possible when application restarts check box. You must have successfully registered with the Avaya communication server at least once in the past to use this option.

8.Select the Login button. When you successfully register with the Avaya communication server, the controls in the Avaya IP Agent main window are enabled.

9.Avaya IP Agent displays the Verify Telephone Number dialog box upon successful registration with the Avaya communication server. When you first start using Avaya IP Agent, it is important that you make some test calls to verify that you have set up your connection properly.
