About local (Craft) procedures
During installation or after you have successfully installed an IP deskphone, you might be
instructed to administer one of the manual procedures described in this chapter. These local
administrative procedures are also referred to as Craft Procedures.
There are two forms of Local Administrative Options. One allows access to all the capabilities
and functionality described in this chapter while the other allows access only to an
administrable level of VPN capabilities and functionality. The VPN-specific option allows the
administrator to grant VPN users access to the VPN procedure itself, while preventing these
users from accessing any other Local Administrative Procedure. The administrator may grant
the VPN user permission to change VPN settings or only to view them. For more information
on access to VPN-only Local Administrative Options, see the VPN Setup Guide for 9600 Series
IP Telephones (Document 16-602968).
Note:
You can modify the settings file to set parameters for any IP deskphones that download their
upgrade script and application files from the same HTTP server. See Maintaining 9600
Series IP Deskphones on page 59 and “9600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application
Files” in Chapter 4 of the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone H.323 Administrator Guide.
Caution:
Only trained installers or technicians should perform local (craft) procedures. Perform these
procedures only if instructed to do so by the system or LAN administrator. Static
administration of these options causes upgrades to work differently than if they are
administered dynamically. Values assigned to options in static administration are not
changed by upgrade scripts. These values remain stored in the telephone until either:
• a new boot file is downloaded, or
• the IP telephone is reset, as indicated in Resetting system values on page 54.
Use these option-setting procedures only with static addressing and, as always, only if
instructed by the system or LAN administrator. Do not use these option-setting procedures
if you are using DHCP. DHCP is the Dynamic Addressing Process, as indicated in About
powering-up and resetting the deskphone (Dynamic Addressing Process) on page 25.
