Definity G3 V11 - What to do for IP?

[joebrez]

I am interested in upgrading our MCC G3 to have IP capability. The unit is on R11 and has CLAN capability. Our Windows XP users are currently using an IP Softphone.

I would like to connect a 4600 series phone to our unit but couldn't find the pre-requisites. I have a 4621SW IP but doesn't seem to be able to connect to the CLAN's address.

I'm just not sure where to start?

In addition to the C-LAN board, you will also need a MedPro board (TN2302) to do the TDM to IP conversions. The PBX must have IP Station RTU active and available. You can check that by using the 'display capacity' command. On my V11 it's on page 8.

The C-LAN and MedPro boards will need static IP addresses.

Excellent Thanks. Is there a particular version of the TN2302 that I need? My vendor has HV3 and HV20.

So the version doesn't matter?

HW 20 would have the latest fixes from Avaya for download and FW upgrade to FW 121

I was just curious which version to buy, since our switch is older (R11). I don't want to spend the extra money on the V20 if I can get away with v3.

Your call. You get what you pay for. Only you can be the judge.

Just looking at the HW and FW date releases, there are 5 years worth of fixes on the newer hardware. Read the readme files for all FW updates on HW 11 and higher to see what your older HW and FW may non have fixes for.

Same issues could happen with old FW on clan
