IP500 V2 R9 IP Endpoint Licenses

[narsman]

Hopefully this has not been covered...........I have searched and found similar, but not this exact scenario.

I received a new ip500 v2 r9 control unit with the SD card. I installed Office Manager 9.0 on local PC to administer. I can connect to the IP Office through Office Manager with no problem.

My issue starts when I register IP phone(s) to the unit. 4610SW IP phones register, but indicate No License Available. When I check the licenses in manager it show 1 license that is the Avaya IP Endpoints, it has a quantity of 12 and shows to be valid. The control unit had a good VCM card, which I believe is providing the Endpoint license.

The system shows an error that Essentials Edition is not licensed. Is this required???

I use this system for testing Avaya IP phones ONLY. It is not in production and has no requirements for outside lines, voicemail, etc....

I guess I'm just looking for the minimum requirements to accomplish this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't mind coming to work, but that eight hour wait to go home is a bitch.

yes you will need the essential edition license.

Without the Essential Edition license it will only run in Basic Edition mode which does not support IP telephones.

Stuck in a never ending cycle of file copying.

If you on,y want to test IP phones I would go with IPO Anywhere. No cost, licenses for seven endpoints, no extra hardware needed.

derfloh,

I also do firmware updates on the phones when needed. Will IPO Anywhere satisfy that need, too?

Yes, IP Office anywhere can be used for testing/updating IP Phones.
I use it for the same purpose, a eight port PoE switch and five Avaya IP endpoints can be registered of any kind.
It is running in VM Ware
