unicast 802.1X packets to authenticating devices. These switches support the following two
scenarios:
• Standalone phone (Deskphone Only Authenticates) - When you configure the IP phone for
supplicant mode (DOT1XSTAT=2), the phone can support authentication from the switch.
When DOT1X is “0” or “1” the phone cannot authenticate with the switch.
• Phone and computer Dual Authentication - Both the IP phone and the connected computer can
support 802.1X authentication from the switch. You can configure the IP phone for Pass-
Through Mode or Pass-Through Mode with Logoff (DOT1X=0 or 1 and DOT1XSTAT=1 or 2).
The attached computer must be running 802.1X supplicant software.

Administering emergency numbers
Set the PHNEMERGNUM configuration parameter in the settings file or in the Session Manager to
assign a default emergency number. The deskphone automatically dials the configured number
whenever a user presses the Emergsoftkey on the Login screen, or the Phone screen, or when the
user presses the Yes softkey on an Emergency Calling pop-up screen. The deskphone dials the
emergency number even if the deskphone is locked or the user is not logged in. You must select the
Allow Unauthenticated Emergency Calls field in System Manager so that users can dial the
emergency number when the deskphone is not registered.
You can set up to 100 emergency numbers for the deskphones to dial. However, you must first
configure the additional emergency numbers in System Manager. You can then use the parameter
PHNMOREEMERGNUMS to specify these additional emergency numbers in the settings file
(46xxsettings.txt) or in the System Manager.
Note:
When in failover, the Emergency Number must be provisioned on the SIP gateway or the user
will not be able to dial it.
The local proxy routes emergency calls from a user at a visited deskphone so that the local
emergency number is called. When PHNEMERGNUM is administered, using the Emerg softkey
overrides the SPEAKERSTAT parameter setting or a user-selected preferred audio path. This
means that even if the Speakerphone is disabled, it becomes the default path when the user
presses the Emerg softkey.
The Avaya Menu administration file
The Avaya Menu administration file contains parameters to customize Avaya Menu and to view Web
links on Avaya Menu. You can administer up to eight Web links.
