Setting and Changing Passwords on page 29.
Connect the Phones
ADTRAN/Polycom IP phones are configured automatically from the NetVanta 7100, which allows global
and per-phone configuration to be managed centrally. Most configuration files are created automatically
(and downloaded by the phones at boot up) by the NetVanta 7100 when a new voice user is created. Once
you have created the new user, the final step is to connect the phone.
1. Connect the phone to a line from the NetVanta 7100 system.
2. Wait for the phone to load its configuration files from the NetVanta 7100 system.
3. The phone and user account should be fully functioning.
The boot process is complete when the idle display (see Figure 7) is shown on the phone. In the case of
problems, contact your system administrator to assist with troubleshooting.
Once the user account is created, you can modify settings such as user name, voicemail, call coverage,
caller ID, and other user settings. This is done by selecting the user’s last name in the
section to bring up the
Edit User menu.
If you copied an existing user account, most of these settings are already configured. This section also
covers editing existing settings to alter a user’s account preferences. Refer to Configuring Voicemail on
page 41 to set up the voicemail parameters.

Creating a New Auto Attendant
An auto attendant is an automated call handling menu structured with audio prompts to direct callers
through the available menu options (or digit actions). The auto attendant must have an introductory
greeting that describes the digit actions such as “For Sales, press 2.” It is best to map out the auto attendant
digit actions prior to setup. See Figure 51 on page 66 for a diagram of auto attendant structure.
Creating a new auto attendant may require assistance from your system administrator. Refer to Modifying Auto Attendant Greetings on page 60 for instructions on perfecting an existing auto attendant greeting.

Adding Users to Ring Groups
A ring group defines a group of user accounts that can be called in a coordinated way with a single
extension. The incoming caller ID from a group member denotes a group call using a GRP prefix.
Members can log in when they want to receive calls to the group and log out when they do not want to
receive group calls.
Ring group’s extensions must be unique and cannot begin with a 0 or a 9. Extensions are defaulted to be
one more than the highest-number ring group extension currently configured, or 8001 if no ring groups are
configured.

Troubleshooting Voice Trunks
Voice trunks are the telephone lines delivered to the carrier in digital or analog format (e.g., T1 or trunk
FXO lines). Trunk lines connect the NetVanta 7100 to the outside telephone network. The incoming lines
are linked to physical interfaces on the system. These interfaces control which resources are used for
outbound calls. This section covers the most common issues that prevent users from placing outbound
calls.
Checking the Port Status
Check the status of the telephone lines under the Physical Interfaces menu. The voice trunk interfaces are
FXO and T1. The physical interface names are formatted <interface type> <slot/port> (e.g., t1 0/1).
1. Navigate to
trunk and T1 interfaces. If the text under
System > Physical Interfaces and check for green text in the Line Status of the
Line Status is red, stop here and contact your network
administrator for assistance. Otherwise, continue to the next step.
2. If the
Line Status is OnHook or Up, your trunk line service is working properly. If the Line
Status
is Down, check the physical connection to your unit. If you suspect configuration or
network issues, contact your NetVanta 7100 system administrator.
Maintaining and TroubleshootingNetVanta 7100 Administrator’s Guide
Review the Trunk Group Configuration
Trunk groups control resources used for outbound calls. Call templates must be assigned to the trunk group
to tell the system what type of dialed external numbers to permit out the system. Call templates can also
deny certain calls out of the system such as international and 900 numbers.

Troubleshooting Classes of Service
A Class of Service (CoS) defines a set of user permissions. Each user is assigned to a defined CoS which
determines the call types and call actions (such as conferencing, overhead paging, etc.) they are allowed to
perform from their phone. If a user or a group of users is not able to execute certain call types and/or call
actions, examine the CoS setting.
1. Navigate to the
Voice > System Setup > Classes of Service menuand select the CoS assigned to
the user(s). In this example we will examine the
