The simplest way to make settings and edit contacts is using a PC and the Avaya B179 web interface.

Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone |
Installation and Administration Guide |
DISPLAY INFORMATION AND WEB INTERFACE
USING THE WEB INTERFACE
You can use the web browser of a PC connected to the same network to manage contacts, conference groups and settings in the Avaya B179.
For security reasons, recordings can only be managed directly on the Avaya B179. All other settings that can be made directly on the Avaya B179 can also be made via the web interface. It is also possible to import and export contacts and conference groups, name user profiles and change PIN codes, which can only be done via the web interface. The administrator can also view logs, update software and create a configuration file.
The default setting for the PIN code is 0000 for the user account (Default, Profile 1, Profile 2, Profile 3 and Profile 4) and 1234 for the administrator’s account (Admin). We recommend that you change the PIN codes in order to protect the settings. The code may consist of eight digits. The administrator can always view and change the PIN codes to the user accounts. The administrator’s PIN code can only be reset with a complete reset to factory settings.
Checking IP address
Press 
and select the sub menu STATUS > NETWORK (8,2).
Check the conference phone’s network address under the heading IP ADDRESS.
Use this address to log into the web server in the conference phone.
Login
Log into the web server in Avaya B179 by entering the phone’s network address in your computer’s web browser.
Select Admin as Profile and enter your PIN.

Installation and Administration Guide |
INSTALLATION
The printed Installation Guide provides brief and simplified installation instructions. The guide includes the basic settings for a quick start and works in most cases.
CONNECTING
Connect the Avaya B179 to the network as illustrated below.
Plug the Avaya B179 into the mains using the power adapter as illustrated below.
The Avaya B179 can be driven directly from the network (Power over Ethernet) if the network supports this.
Place the conference phone in the middle of the table.
The Avaya B179 must obtain a network address and be registered in a SIP PBX before it can be used. The easiest way to register an account and make the settings in the Avaya B179 is using a computer connected to the same network and via the integrated web server.

SIP
Select Settings > SIP
The Avaya B179 can store information for two accounts, e.g. one PBX and one public service provider.
Why use two accounts?
It may be sensible to register a second account if the PBX or SIP server is located in another country than the phone. Otherwise, local calls using the PSTN (telephone network), connected through the ordinary PBX or SIP server, would be connected as international calls.
