J169 / J179 VPN to Firewall 2

[dsm600rr]

Hello all,

For out office, I would like to set up a J169 / J179 to VPN back from my bosses house to our Cisco ASA. From my understanding, the SIP J100 Series phones now need a SBC to do so. Would setting up the phone to H.323 like a 9608 allow the J169 / J179 to VPN into a Firewall?

We are running R11.0.4.1 Build 11

Thank you.

If you have a VPN already setup in the bosses house then it will work with no issues. You can setup an option 242 string pointing to the Avaya PBX or enter the addresses manually. All that is needed is the HTTP/HTTPS server address field filled.

Yes and no. If you use them as H323 phone they can connect via VPN but they are not officially supported as H323 phones by IP Office.

Yes keep the J169/J179 on SIP Protocol.

We only have the ASA here at the office. Previously we would just put out a 9608 and it would tunnel back to our firewall. Perhaps the best bet would be to just give him a 9608?

If you need VPN you have to go with 9600.

Alternatively, setup certificates, firewall rules and DES and use the J phone remotely as it has been built to allow?
