1. Introduction

These Application Notes describe a solution comprised of Avaya Communication Server 1000 Release 7.5 and the Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone. The B179 is a SIP VoIP conference telephone that registers as a standard SIP Line client with Communication Server 1000. The solution supports calling among the B179 and other Communication Server 1000-supported nonSIP and SIP Line clients. Testing was conducted by the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab at the request of Product Management.

As shown in Figure 1, all telephones, including the B179, are registered to Avaya Communication Server 1000, which is configured as a co-resident single server system. The telephones are configured in the 57xxx extension range.

3. Configure Avaya Communication Server 1000

This section describes the steps to configure the following, using CS 1000 Element Manager:

 SIP Line service  SIP Line D-Channel  Application Module Link (AML)  Value Added Server (VAS)  Zone for SIP phones  SIP Line Route Data Block (RDB)  SIP Line Virtual Trunk  Media Gateway Controller  SIP Line telephone corresponding to the B179 SIP Conference Phone

It is assumed that basic installation and configuration of the CS 1000 call server, signaling server, and node have been completed. Additional configuration details are provided in [1, 2].

3.1. Log in to Element Manager (EM)

Access the Unified Communications Management (UCM) web based interface by using the URL “http://<ip-address>” in an Internet browser window, where “<ip-address>” is the IP address of the call server. Note that the IP address for the Call Server may vary, and in this case “10.7.7.61” is used. Log in with the appropriate user ID and password.
