So we’ve filled the Avaya<\/a> IP Office IP500 at our management office. \u00a0At other offices, we just buy a DS16 or DS30, depending on site. \u00a0But at this office, we run a VOIP trunk, so have a VCM32, and only use up to 10 channels on that.<\/p>\n

As we discovered, the VCM32 comes with 12 IP Endpoint Licenses. – with means we can run 12 IP Phones!<\/p>\n

Well, that makes much more monetary sense, than installing a DS16. – 1608’s are only 20 bucks or so more expensive than the 1408’s we usually use!<\/p>\n

[showmyads]<\/p>\n

So we ordered a couple of play with, and hit two snags.<\/p>\n

1) They’re expecting you to use a POE enabled Switch. \u00a0Which we probably will, once we have a few of these phones. \u00a0But for now? No, it’s not financially viable! \u00a0 So we ordered Power Supplies, at $11 a pop.<\/p>\n

2) I thought maybe the phones would be smart enough to grab an IP from DHCP, then do a broadcast to find the IP Office box. \u00a0C’mon Damien, this is Avaya, it’s not that smart!.<\/p>\n

Instead, I had the phone boot, get an IP, and then sit there saying ‘No FileSv Address’. \u00a0\u00a0So a bit of searching around, and I found this<\/a> thread. \u00a0A few minutes later, I’d added a new DHCP option to the LAN segment on our pfSense<\/a> firewall, and voila, it was working!<\/p>\n

The magic Option?<\/p>\n

Option 242, Text “PCIPADD=192.168.40.221,MCPORT=1719,HTTPSRVR=192.168.40.221”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, you’d use the IP address of your own IP500 unit, ours won’t work \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
