Chapter 8: Administering Telephone Options
Administering options for the 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and
9641G SIP Deskphones
This chapter explains how to change parameter values to customize them for your operating
environment. 9600 Series SIP Deskphones customizeable system parameters
lists:
● the parameter names,
● their default values,
● the valid ranges for those values, and
● a description of each parameter.
9600 Series SIP Deskphones customizeable system parameters
is a comprehensive list of all
the parameters you can configure. However, you do not have to set every parameter. In most
cases, you will include only those parameters in the settings file that are specific to your own
environment and let the deskphones use the default values for the remaining ones.
Note:
Note: At a minimum, be sure to set these important SIP-related parameters:
SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST, SIPDOMAIN, SNTPSRVR, ENABLE_PRESENCE,
GMTOFFSET, DSTOFFSET, DSTSTART, and DSTSTOP.
For DHCP, DHCP fields and option sets certain parameters to the desired values as discussed
in Administering the DHCP and File Servers
on page 63. For HTTP, the parameters in 9600
Series SIP Deskphones customizeable system parameters are set to desired values in the
settings file. For more information on working with the settings file, see About the s
ettings file on
page 75.
Avaya recommends that you administer most parameters on the 9600 Series SIP IP
Deskphones using the settings file. This is because some DHCP applications have limits on the
amount of user-specified information. The administration required can exceed those limits for
the more full-featured deskphone models.
You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from
the dialpad. You can set the parameter PROCPSWD as part of standard DHCP/HTTP
administration. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, a user cannot invoke any
local options without first entering the PROCPSWD value on the Craft Access Code Entry
screen. For more information on craft options, see the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone SIP
Installation and Maintenance Guide for 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G Deskphones
(Document Number 16-603604) applicable to the SIP software Release you are using.
