Chapter 8: Administering Telephone Options

Administering Options for the 9600 Series SIP 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 11 lists:

the parameter names,

their default values,

the valid ranges for those values, and

a description of each one.

Table 11 is a comprehensive list of all the parameters you can configure. However, you do not have to set every parameter. In most cases, you will include only those parameters in the settings file that are specific to your own environment and let the telephones use the default values for the remaining ones. At a minimum, be sure to set these important SIP-related parameters: SIPPROXYSRVR, SIPDOMAIN, SNTPSRVR, SIPSIGNAL, ENABLE_PRESENCE, GMTOFFSET, DSTOFFSET, DSTSTART, and DSTSTOP.

For DHCP, the DHCP Option sets these parameters to the desired values as discussed in DHCP and File Servers on page 53. For HTTP, the parameters in Table 11 are set to desired values in the script file. For more information, see Contents of the Settings File on page 70.

Avaya recommends that you administer options on the 9600 Series SIP 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. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, a user cannot invoke any local options without first entering the PROCPSWD value on the Craft Access Code Entry screen. For more information on craft options, see the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
