How to program 1140 for home use via VPN 1

[Co0per]

Hello,

Does anyone have experience setting up home users with the new version Avaya 1140E sets that supposedly have built in VPN? In the past we have used the old Nortel BSR routers for home users but we can no longer get those. I actually just learned that these newer 1140's were VPN capable the other day. I'm clueless on how to set them up though.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

We have tried this but it will not work with a Cisco Solution VPN. Needs to be setup up with the Nortel VPN product as far as I know. We started using the Aruba RAP-3 units for a tunnel back to home and has a POE port for the VOIP phone.

It's a phone system, NOT a clock!

So does the Aruba product work essentially like the old Nortel BSR routers did?

The Aruba RAP-3 provides a tunnel back to an Aruba controller. The phone then looks like it at the main site and registers with the Sig server as normal.

I was going to try it, but hadn't yet.... But you should be able to setup an IPSec tunnel from the phone to any public facing cisco router. This could work for 1 phone at least

you can also look at AeroHive branch routers and concentrators. they seemed pretty cool and have POE models as well.
