For additional information regarding configuring the SpectraLink 8400 series handsets please refer to the latest product documentation available at www.polycom.com. The following files need to be configured, as the phone boots up to register with Avaya IP Office:

00907a0cd950.cfg – The first file that the phone searches while booting up is <MAC>.cfg file. The header, 00907a0cd950, indicates the MAC address of SpectraLink 8400 Series. In this configuration file, there are sub-configuration files that are listed under CONFIG_FILES field; sip_77013.cfg. During the compliance test, sip_77013.cfg was modified.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?> <!-- Default Master SIP Configuration File-->

<!-- Edit and rename this file to <Ethernet-address>.cfg for each phone.--> <!-- $Revision: 1.14 $ $Date: 2005/07/27 18:43:30 $ -->

<APPLICATION APP_FILE_PATH="sip.ld" APP_NET_LOAD_FILE_PATH="" CONFIG_FILES="sip_77013.cfg" MISC_FILES="" LOG_FILE_DIRECTORY="" OVERRIDES_DIRECTORY="" CONTACTS_DIRECTORY="" />

sip_77013.cfg – This is an extension configuration file. This file includes UserID, Password, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the phone, and the IP address of Avaya IP Office.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <PHONE_CONFIG>

<reg reg.1.address="77013@avaya.com" reg.1.displayName="77013" reg.1.label="77013" reg.1.auth.userId="77013" reg.1.auth.password="123456" reg.1.server.1.address="10.64.44.21" reg.1.server.1.port="5060" />

<msg.mwi msg.mwi.1.subscribe="77013@avaya.com" /> </PHONE_CONFIG>

To work with Avaya IP Office short code, launch a web browser, enter http://<IP address of SpectraLink 8400 Series > in the URL, and log in with the appropriate credentials. Modify Digitmap to match the dial plan configuration on Avaya IP Office.

In the compliance testing, the value “*xx*xT*xxT” was used to allow for dial strings prefixed with digits, “*”, or “#”.
