About local Craft procedures
During or after you successfully install an IP phone, a system message might instruct you to
administer one of the manual procedures described in this chapter. These local administrative
procedures are also referred to as Craft procedures.
Local Administrative Options has two forms: One provides access to all the capabilities and
functions described in this chapter.
The other provides access only to an administrable level of VPN capabilities and functions.
Using the VPN-specific option, the administrator can grant VPN users access to the VPN
procedure itself, while preventing these users from gaining access to any other Local
Administrative Procedure. The administrator may grant the VPN user permission to change
VPN settings or only to view the settings. For more information about access to VPN-only Local
Administrative Options, see the VPN Setup Guide for 9600 Series IP Telephones,
16-602968.
Note:
You can modify the settings file to set parameters for any IP phones that download their
upgrade script and application files from the same HTTP server. For more information, see
Administering Avaya IP phone H.323 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G.
Caution:
Only trained installers or technicians should perform local administrative 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 with static
administration of these options than by dynamic administration. Values assigned to options
in static administration do not change with upgrade scripts. These values remain stored in
the phone until one of the following happens:
• You download a new boot file
• You reset the IP phone. See
Resetting system values on page 60.
