5.2. Obtain LAN IP Address

From the configuration tree in the left pane, select System to display the System screen in the right pane. Select the LAN1 tab, followed by the LAN Settings sub-tab in the right pane. Make a note of the IP Address, which will be used later to configure SpectraLink 8400 Series.

Note: During the initial configuration of Avaya IP Office, the LAN1 was configured on the private network side and LAN2 was configured on the public network side. Avaya IP Office can support SIP extensions on the LAN1 and/or LAN2 interfaces, but the compliance test used the LAN1 interface. Thus, only the LAN1 configuration will be discussed in these Application Notes.
