Basics of Virtualization with IP Office

Updated for 9.1

This is not intended to be the only document needed for implementation, but merely to spell out the general steps needed to begin deployment.

The first benefit of Virtualized Server Edition, is that there is no hardware or server to purchase. You can have an SCN of any mixture of virtual, server based or IP500 appliances in that SCN.

For EVERY virtual server edition, you will need a “Virtual Server Edition” license (275694-IPO R9 VRTULZD SE ADI LIC) and for every server based and/or IP500 appliance, you will need a “Server Edition” license (275658-IPO R9 SE ADI LIC).

How do i open a config in IP Office?

To do basic administration in IP Office, we would use a GUI application called Manager.  Usually it is installed on the PC running Voicemail Pro.

The default location is “C:All Programs/Avaya/IP Office/Manager/Manager.exe”.

Once you run that program, as it comes up, it will scan the sub-net or look for the specific IP address you entered last time it was used.  If that works, you will see a pop up of your IP Office, or all of your IP Offices.

Select the IP office you desire to make changes to, and click OK in the bottom right corner.  At this point you will be prompted for a username and password.  While the installers might have changed this, the default is: Administrator/Administrator.

How do I save Changes in IP Office Manager

Click on the disk icon (3rd from left on toolbar).

Click OK to upload the new configuration and enter username and password.

*****Note, there will be instances where some of the changes require a reboot for the changes to take effect.  When the reboot window pops up, your choices are:

    • MERGE – Changes saved, no one knows that changes were made (No reboot)
    • IMMEDIATE – Will reboot immediately.  (Will end all calls without warning)
    • WHEN FREE – Will reboot when everyone is off the phone
    • TIMED – You can then set a specific time that the system will reboot.  NOT RECOMMENDED, as you will not know if the reboot happened or if the system comes up again.
