parameters
The 46xxsettings.txt settings file must use UTF-8 encoding. All commands, parameter
names, and tags are case insensitive and must use ASCII symbols.
Avaya Vantage
™
handles the lines of the settings file one by one. Avaya Vantage
™
interprets only
one command per line. All arguments of the command must be placed on the same line as the
command. To include spaces in an argument value, you must enclose the value using double
quotes (“”).
Configuring user groups in the settings file
Use the conditional statements with the GROUP parameter to assign specific parameters or
parameter values to different user group.
The following example shows simple settings file configuration for two user groups with numbers
20 and 35.
IF $GROUP SEQ 20 GOTO CALLCENTER
IF $GROUP SEQ 35 GOTO MANAGERS
GOTO END
# CALLCENTER
## Section with parameters for Group 20 ##
GOTO END
# MANAGERS
## Section with parameters for Group 35 ##
# END
After configuring user groups in the settings file, you need to assign a specific user group to a
device. For more information, see
Setting a user group for a specific configuration on page 61.
Device configuration using LLDP
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an open standards layer 2 protocol that IP deskphones
use to advertise their identity and capabilities and to receive administration from an LLDP server.
LAN equipment can use LLDP to manage power, administer VLANs, and provide some
administration. The transmission and reception of LLDP is specified in IEEE Std 802.1AB-2009.
