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 proles and change PIN codes, which can only be done via the web interface. The
administrator can also view logs, update software and create a conguration le.
The default setting for the PIN code is 0000 for the user account (Default, Prole 1,
Prole 2, Prole 3 and Prole 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 Prole and enter your PIN.

INSTALLATION
The printed Installation Guide provides brief and simplied 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,
ClassIII) 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.

ing many phones.
Note that all settings on the Basic tab also affect the user prole Default. Other user
proles can be changed individually. The settings on the Basic tab, except the name and
PIN for Admin, can be modied by any user. Other settings require a login as Admin.

register to the fallback account, it will try to use the main account again.
To register your phone, you must have access to the account information and all necessary settings that the SIP PBX requires.
See the heading “SIP” on page 17 for a detailed description of all settings.
