Avaya Vantage - Chapter 7: Application Setup

Chapter 7: Application setup
This chapter describes how to set up applications on Avaya Vantage
™
. Avaya Vantage
™
supports
the installation of Avaya telephony applications and third-party applications.
As of Release 1.1 Service Pack 1, the Avaya Vantage
™
Basic and Avaya Equinox
®
APKs are
bundled in the Avaya Vantage
™
firmware package file and pushed automatically to the Avaya
Vantage
™
device. If you want to use one of these CSDK-based applications as the active telephony
application, you can set the ACTIVE_CSDK_BASED_PHONE_APP parameter in the settings file.
The application you define in the parameter is installed automatically from the application APKs that
are available on the device’s local memory. If a newer version of Avaya Vantage
™
Basic or Avaya
Equinox
®
becomes available in Google Play, the Avaya Vantage
™
device displays an upgrade
notification.
You can install applications on Avaya Vantage
™
through the following options:
• The “Push application” method. Using this method, the administrator can initiate automatic
installation, upgrade, or uninstallation of applications without any intervention of the end user.
To push an application on the device, the administrator uploads the application APK file on the
HTTP or HTTPs server and provides the path to the file in the 46xxsettings.txt file
through the PUSH_APPLICATION parameter.
Important:
You must specify each application only once. If you specify an application more than once,
Avaya Vantage
™
might not work as expected.
• Google Play. End users can download applications from Google Play. The system
administrator can restrict installation of certain applications by using a configuration file.
With the application APKs that are bundled with the Avaya Vantage
™
firmware package, you do not
need to use the PUSH_APPLICATION or Google Play installation options. However, if you choose
to install through PUSH_APPLICATION or Google Play, it takes priority over the bundled APKs.
The installation options, in order of priority, for the Avaya CSDK applications are:
1. Google Play
2. PUSH_APPLICATION parameter
3. Bundled APKs
Note:
IP Office Release 11.0 only supports Avaya Vantage
™
Basic. Other applications, such as Avaya
Equinox
®
on Avaya Vantage
™
, are not currently supported with IP Office.
