PIMPHONY IP EDITION
A PC equipped with PIMphony IP is considered by the PBX as an IP subscriber, in the same way as an
IP Enabler. No specific programming is needed.
After installing the PIMphony IP software on a PC (conventional installation procedure by Wizard), a
"Multimedia PC" type IP terminal is automatically created in the list of subscribers, with the first free
directory number. Unlike the IP Enablers, Alcatel OmniPCX Office does not manage the IP address of
a Multimedia PC; only its MAC address is registered at the first connection. No software (firmware) is
transferred between the system and PIMphony IP during the registration procedure.
Registration is an "uncovered" mechanism based on the IP protocol: the PC generates a Multicast re-
quest and waits for the reply from a VoIP CoCPU board. During the reply / registration phase, the VoIP
CoCPU board indicates its IP address to the PC and the PC transmits its Ethernet address (MAC Ad-
dress) to the PBX.
If there is no reply (e.g. IP routing problems), the PC generates the Multicast request several times, and
if no reply is obtained, PIMphony IP enters a "failure" mode. The user is then asked to indicate the IP
address of the master VoIP CoCPU board; if the address is incorrect, another request is made.
Once registration has been performed, the IP address of the VoIP CoCPU board is stored in the Win-
dows register base, and will be used for all the future connections. If a problem arises, such as a chan-
ge of the IP address of the VoIP CoCPU board, a new registration sequence (Multicast request) is
initiated.
After initialization of PIMphony IP, IP connectivity must be permanent, otherwise the PBX considers the
PC to be out of service.
