Enable VPN Function on 9608

[dsm600rr]

All,

I have a System running R8.1.95 and a new Avaya 9608 Phone

I am aware that modification to the 46xxsettings.txt are need to be able to "Enable" the VPN Menu - however I do not even see that file under "System > Primary" (Is this file supposed to be there, or added?)


Also, I need a pointer on what modifications this file will need to enable VPN Menu on the phone

I have found this:
Enable the vpn option

Open the 46xxsettings.txt and add the next lines:

CODE

IF $GROUP SEQ 0 GOTO NO96XXVPN

IF $GROUP SEQ 876 GOTO 96XXVPN

# 96XXVPN
GET 96xxvpn.txt

# NO96XXVPN

SET NVVPNMODE 0

SET VPNPROC 0

Where exactly should this be copied in the 46xxsettings.txt File?

Put it at the top. Refer to this thread below and open the text files I have created for screensavers. You can see they are at the top before anything. It makes customisation so much easier to identify if you have to replace the 46xxsettings file for whatever reason.

Are you sure?
this used to be necessary for 46XX/56X handsets to flash the correct firmware but as far as I recall the 96xx handsets have VPN capability in the default firmware load & no re-flashing should be necessary
(that was certainly the case with the last handset I set up for VPN usage which was a 9620)


Do things on the cheap & it will cost you dear

Yeah I have never had to do anything special on the 96xx phones apart from enabling VPN in the craft menu.

On the 9608 I had laying around here, the VPN Menu was there - However there was no option to enable the function.

More Questions:

I have another 9608 here in the lab and VPN is not in the "C-R-A-F-T" Menu at all. What would cause that? Solution to get back?

So you guys are saying you were able to enable VPN on your 96XX Phones right out of the box?

You might want to check the firmware and make sure VPN is not disabled. There are multiple versions on the Avaya site available for download we just had that problem on 9611s because we had the wrong one.

t.abney: Funny, I just thought of this as I was headed back to this thread. I will defiantly take a look. I plan to re-create the SD Card so that all the Embedded Files are fresh. This is on a test system with Many Modifications done over the years. Could use a refresh. Thanks all!
