J129 IP Office Setup 1

[chavz7796]

Hello Guys,


Has anyone setup a J129 Avaya Sip Phone? I am having issues with registering the phone and I an wondering if it has to do with Licenses. Do I need a 3rd party IP License or should I be OK with an Avaya IP Endpoint License?

Thanks
Rick

You need a Avaya endpoint license AND VCM hardware (e.g. a VCM Card or a Combo Card) fitted in IP Office.
And you need to have the SIP registrar enabled on the LAN which is used for the SIP Phones.

I've heard on the grapevine these do not work so well on IP Office, fine with Aura.

Fixes coming in R11.

Don't quote me those, its just I rumour I heard.

If it has got Avaya on the front you just need an Avaya IP Endpoint License

I think this is a reworked Grandstream GXP1160/1165 (now discontinued)...

@ipohead. You are thinking of the E129. The J129 is newly-introduced and replaces the E129.

Rick,

I am also having issues with these. Does anyone have any good documentation?

gwbester - you were right I was confusing the J129 with the E129. The J129 doesn't seem to be based on a Grandstream model.

I just set up 45 in one system, seems to be working good. One of the issues the customer has is that the name and ext don't show on the phone only the date and time, you can get the name and ext by pressing the down arrow but after a call it reverts back to date and time. Not what I hoped for but working. It was easy to register and set up though.

From what I read so far the phone asks for a J100Supgrade.txt that will be delivered with R10 SP3 the first time. The upgrade files links to a J100settings.txt or 46xxsettings.txt. Not sure if the file names are correct. Check with SysMon what files the phone asks for and upload them from the manager directory.
