About remote worker support
Avaya Business Communications Manager 6.0 (BCM 6.0) includes new options for remote
worker support. You can connect your Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphone to the Avaya BCM
through a secure VPN tunnel, or by using the new remote worker feature. Using the remote worker
feature, you can use the BCM system as an HTTP server, allowing you to distribute configuration
files, license files, and firmware to IP clients.
7
This guide includes an appendix, which provides details on a sample network setup that supports
remote workers.
Audience
This guide is intended for administrators who want to configure the BCM for remote worker
support.

Virtual private network configuration overview
The virtual private network (VPN) feature provides VPN client capability to the following IP sets:
•Avaya 1120E IP Deskphone
•Avaya 1140E IP Deskphone
•Avaya 1150E IP Deskphone
For more information about configuring your IP set for VPN, see the Avaya IP Deskphone
configuration guide for your model of IP set.

The VPN feature enables the set to establish an encrypted VPN tunnel from the set to a Avaya
BCM 6.0 system. When the tunnel is established, the following IP set-related traffic traverses the
tunnel:
•UNIStim signaling
•media
•TFTP provisioning
•HTTP provisioning
All set-related traffic must travel through a single tunnel. For example, it is not possible for some
traffic to travel inside the tunnel and some traffic to travel outside the tunnel. Traffic on the PC
port of the set is always excluded from the VPN tunnel.
If you have a BCM50 system with an integrated router (BCM50a, BCM50ba, BCM50e, or
BCM50be models) the VPN tunnel terminates on the BCM50 integrated router. If you use
pre-shared key (PSK) authentication, user credentials are validated on the BCM50 integrated
router. If you use XAUTH authentication, user credentials are validated on the BCM50 integrated
router and on the Radius server, which resides on the customer LAN.
You must install the VPN client for your version of Windows on your PC or laptop in order to
utilize the VPN feature. For more information about configuring VPN client termination on a
BCM50 integrated router, see the BCM50 Integrated Router Configuration Guide for your
BCM50 model. For information about configuring VPN client termination on a VPN router or
VPN gateway, see the configuration guide for your model of VPN router or VPN gateway.
VPN access to the BCM Customer LAN consists of 3 separate networks:
•Home network - The VPN user’s home network, located behind a router and connected
through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the Internet.
•Public Internet - Access to this network is provided by the ISP.
•BCM LAN - The office LAN with the BCM providing telephony services.
The BCM LAN and the Home LAN network cannot be on the same LAN. Most commercially
available home routers and BCM systems share the same default subnet of 192.168.1.x, Avaya
recommends that the subnet on the BCM system be changed.
Figure 1"PSK authentication network diagram" (page 13) shows the VPN deployment model with
a BCM50 system with an integrated router using PSK authentication. Figure 2"XAUTH
authentication network diagram" (page 13) shows the VPN deployment model with a BCM50
system with an integrated router using XAUTH authentication.
If you have a BCM450 system, or a BCM50 system that does not include an integrated router, you
can use a VPN router or VPN gateway. In this case, place the VPN router or gateway on the edge
of your network. The VPN tunnel from the set terminates on the VPN router or gateway and the set
registers to the call server on the BCM50 or BCM450 system. This configuration is used when you
have a large number of VPN users (set or CVC).
Figure 3"VPN router/gateway and BCM call server network diagram" (page 14) shows a
configuration of a network using a VPN router or gateway and a BCM call server.

Remote worker configuration when branch tunnels are used
You can deploy VPN Client tunnels the Avaya BCM50a/e when VPN branch tunnels are used.
When you deploy VPN Client tunnels in this manner, the number of active tunnels you can have is
limited on the BCM50a/e.
Complete the following procedure to establish a VPN between two sites using a VPN branch
tunnel. The recommended method to do this is through a branch-to-branch IPSec tunnel. For more
information, see BCM50e Integrated Router Configuration — Basics (N0115788).
1In VPN / Summary, add a new tunnel by editing an unused rule.
2Create an Active Branch Office tunnel.
3Select Nailed Up, if the tunnel should not be closed while not in use.
4Select Main for Negotiation Mode.
5Enter the authentication information, with either a pre-shared key or an imported certificate.
6Enter the IP Address assigned to the router WAN port. This should be a static address, or a
dynamic DNS name, and the IP address of the remote router.
7Select the encryption and authentication algorithms.
8Add an IP policy, by specifying the IP address ranges of the local and remote hosts that use the
tunnel.
9Repeat these steps 1 through 7 at the other end of the branch.
Note: If a VPN Client Termination is used on these sites, you must include the
client termination address range in the tunnel policies in order for the VPN
clients to see the other site.
Avaya Business Communications Manager 6.0 Configuration — Remote Worker
The VPN feature requires different types of security credentials depending on the mode of
authentication selected. Security credentials are configured on the VPN router or VPN gateway by
the administrator. For more information about configuring security credentials, see the
configuration guide for your VPN router or VPN gateway.
The following table shows which credentials are required for each mode.

The following list provides a description of the credentials.
•PSK (user ID and password)
The IP set uses PSK to authenticate itself to the VPN router (also known as Group ID and
Group Password). You can provision PSK in the configuration menu or through a
configuration file. The PSK user ID and password is a maximum of 20 alphanumeric
characters.
You can configure the user ID manually or you can pre-configure the user ID using the
configuration file. If you save the PSK user ID, you do not have to reenter it when you want to
use it.
You can configure the password manually or pre-configure the password using the
configuration file. Optionally, you can leave the password blank. If you configure the
password, you do not have to reenter it when you use it. If you do not configure the password,
you are prompted to enter it each time it is required. You can configure the VPN server to
provide a policy message to instruct the set not to save the password locally. The server policy
takes precedence over the password saved in the IP set.
Note: The XAUTH password is saved locally to the IP set until the IP set
successfully connects to the VPN server for the first time. The VPN server policy
then takes precedence.
