Avaya IP Office question

[JJ L]

Hello, I’ve been tasked with creating a portable phone system for a sporting event. My expertise is with Cisco. They want an Avaya solution. Can someone tell me step by step what I need to ask the network and system engineers to do so their network is ready for the phone system?

Thanks

Would look for an authorized business partner, so everyone can produce a solution for the desired business outcome.

I have a company configuring the phone system. I just need to know what I need to ask the system and network engineers to do on their side.

Without any information we can't answer this. Please ask the company that will install the system for you.

IP Office remote service
IP Office certificate check
CLI based call blocking
SCN fallback over PSTN

Not much to go on ...

Avaya mention a network assessment on page 15 SIP telephone installation

I asked the company setting up the phone system and they said internet service and router with DHCP and on same network. Does this sound correct?

You're also going to need some power. Maybe even a desk or two to put the phones on. /s

Honestly not sure what you're after here.

The DHCP and an internet connection would be what they would need. Your IT people would need to provide a static IP address for the phone system and be able to set up the DHCP option. Your best bet might be have your IT people talk directly to the phone people, but that is just my opinion.

I might be over thinking this. With me familiar with Cisco, Avaya might not be as complicated. Will the router be pluged into the WLAN or LAN port on IP Office? Which one will a switch be plugged into? If you have different IDF closets, you just connect them by switch to switch by copper or fiber, correct?

 

[budbyrd]

They are IP phones just like Cisco. Anything you can do with a Cisco the Avaya will be the same. As far as the WAN or LAN goes there isn't a big difference they are there to provide two different networks if you need them.

Difficult to know where to start on this as we don't know if you are using IP, digital or analogue phones or the type of trunks.

Things to think about:

DHCP - the IP Office can act as DHCP for the network or just IP phones
Network - can be on the same network but check VLANS
