Set Up Delayed Ringing To Embedded Voicemail

Forward to Embedded VM AA after ringing a hunt group
Compliments of Kyle L Holladay, Sr, R.I.P.

In this example we will route inbound calls to a hunt group and then forward to an Embedded Voicemail Auto Attendant if unanswered after 15 seconds or immediately based on a time profile or “night service” button.

1.   Create your Embedded Voicemail Auto Attendant.

2.   Create a Short Code (such as *90 in the picture below) that is used to access the Auto Attendant.
HG2EVMAA1

3.   Create a phantom user and assign it an unused extension (such as 1999 in the picture below) that will be used to forward to the Auto Attendant. On the User’s forwarding tab enable forwarding options (see image) and enter the short code you created above as the forwarding number.

IP office Remote Access Options

The following are the Avaya recommended remote access options.

• Remote Manager: Default RAS connection to the IP Office. 
• Dameware: 3rd party application supplied with each IP Office application CD and is a free install. This software needs to be installed on any PC on which the application requiring support is running. For example, if Voicemail Pro is installed on a separate PC from that of Manager, then 
Dameware needs to be installed on both PCs for access to both applications. 
• PC Anywhere: Third party application that is licensed to the host and client. PC Anywhere is NOT provided by or licensed through Avaya. This software needs to be installed on any PC on which the application requiring support is running. For example, if Voicemail Pro is installed on a separate PC from that of Manager, then PC Anywhere needs to be installed on both PCs for access to both applications. Avaya Technical Support will use PC Anywhere to aid in the troubleshooting of certain issues, but the business partner must provide connectivity to the site 
and username and password information. 
• Webex: This third party application is a client service and requires customer interaction. This application is NOT provided by or licensed through Avaya. Avaya Technical Support can also use Webex as a remote desktop client for troubleshooting and data collection. With this application, the Avaya Tier 3 engineer assigned to the trouble ticket will provide access information to an Avaya qualified BP engineer. Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer must be available to use Webex.

Setting Up Hot-Desking on Avaya IP Office

The Hot-Desking features of the Avaya IP office 500 system allow you to log on at any phone and that phone will then take on the features of your original phone including your extension number, any call forwarding options or pickup group settings. This can be especially useful if you sometimes work at a different location or in fact don’t have one fixed workspace. In order for you to be able to use this feature and log in to a phone you need to get your system administrator to assign you a login code.  The very cool thing with IP office Hot-Desking, it doe NOT matter what the origination or destination set is going to be…  Meaning, you can have an IP phone normally, but hot desk to an analog conference phone, or a 2 button digital phone.

Create a Check-Hours Module in Voicemail Pro

Create a checkHours Module for all US Federal Holidays Kyle L Holladay, Sr, R.I.P.  This is just a subset of the AWESOME SBC (Standard Base Config) that Kyle created for IPO/Voicemail Pro, Downloaded here..

This document will provide instruction on how to create a checkHours module that can be dropped into your Voicemail Pro call flows that will allow all US Federal Holidays as defined by 5 U.S.C 6103 plus an additional 3 custom holiday conditions. Additionally this module will allow for 4 separate office hours to accomodate multiple offices or varying hours in different departments. Here is an example of how this new checkHours module can be used to route between a day and night auto attendant. The holiday greeting is played prior to the AA greeting and should be recorded similar to “Please note our offices will be closed on Thursday and Friday in recognition of the Thanks Giving Holiday” which would be followed typically by the night menu of something similar to “Thank you for calling Acme Toy Company, you’ve reached us outside of our normal business hours…”

SIP Flowroute to IP Office R5

SIP Trunking between Avaya IP Office R5 and Flowroute by
Kyle L Holladay, Sr R.I.P

In this example we will configure a SIP trunk between the Avaya IP Office and Flowroute using registration on LAN1 behind a firewall/NAT. Alternative configurations would include a static public IP or static IP behind a NAT/Firewall which will not be covered in this document.

NOTE: Flowroute claims T.38 version 0 support as of May 2009 however I have not been able to successfully negotiate any T.38 traffic at this point using version 0 at 9600bps and IP Office EI version 5.0 due to a requirement by Flowroute of information in the INVITE that the IP Office does not currently support. Thus far Flowroute’s technical support has been responsive and helpful. The call quality has been fantastic, far beyond what I have come to expect from other ITSP (over the Internet SIP providers).

How do I configure Monitor to Troubleshoot IP Office issues

IP Office Ports (Compliments of Kyle L Holladay Sr.,  R.I.P.)

Exporting Your IP Office Config File.

  • Launch the IP Office Manager application.
  • Click on the File menu in the upper left corner of the screen and click Open Configuration.
  • From the “Select IP Office” window click on the check box next to your IP Office control unit then click OK.
  • Enter your login credentials and click OK. The standard username/password are the word “Administrator” with a capital A (no quotations).
  • Once the configuration has been pulled from the unit click on the File menu and select Save Configuration As.
  • From the Save As window locate the desired folder, perhaps the Desktop, to place the saved file and click Save.
  • If you are going to email this file you will want to compress it into a .zip as most email servers will not allow transmission of a .cfg file In Windows you should be able to right click on the .cfg file you just exported and select Send To>Compressed (zipped) folder.

    Standard Base Config by Kyle L Holladay Sr

    IP Office Standardized Base Configuration
    Designed and maintained by
    Kyle L Holladay Sr.  July 18, 1973 – March 26, 2013 (R.I.P.)

    Build 121911 for IP Office R8 (Initial Release)


    StandardBaseConfiguration121911_R8

    WAVS_090310_HUMAN

    The standardized Base Configuration is intended to provide a fully customizable platform based on a consistent and stable base configuration for IP Office and Voicemail Pro implementations. I designed the original standard base configuration 2005 to unify the varied programming methods used by individual IP Office technicians within the same organization. By building each configuration based on a standardized core, the end-user’s experience is unified resulting in a higher level of customer satisfaction and a much lower learning curve for support staff.
