Avaya IP Office 500 v2 for 130 IP users

[P12ash]

Hi Guys

I need some help. I'm goinig to be installing a Avaya IP office 500 v2 with 130 1608 IP handsets. The Question I have is if a user moves desk instead of taking the phone with them can they just log out and login into the phone on the new desk. If they do this when the phone system is restarted will the user require to login or will it do it automaticaly. The reasoin why I'm asking is that this company like to move people around a lot.

or what will be the best practice

Many thanks

Prash

My question is, you are installing a 130user switch and asking some pretty basic questions.

I would be more concerned with QoS and your network topology.....

I know this is a basic question as this is the first system I'm installing with IP phones. All others have been digital so straight forward

The IP office will be on its own network and separate from the Data. We will be using the avaya POE switches

Sorry for the basic question

you still have to configure the switches for vlan operation and configure dhcp so the phones boot into the correct vlan.

Also, you have to treat hot desk IP phones differently from digital phones.

DS sets, you can simply delete the Base Extn numbers.

IP Sets, MUST have an extn it sits on when there is no user logged in.

What I do is,

Register the handsets on their BASE extn. Name them BaseExtnXXX and so on.

Create your Users, then they will simply log in over the top of the BaseExtnXXX

Make sense?

ha, tell em to just take their phone with em... all the extn/user info is kept on their phone and they can keep all their crumbs and germs and they just need to plug a patch lead into the right hole again

sounds like if it's on it's own complete separate network, you'll just need DHCP on the Avaya, but to do firmware updates, make sure you put a management PC/Laptop on that network and run Apache/ IIS etc. all those handsets will give the HTTP on SD card a heart attack.
