Deskphone installation in the IP Office environment
Preinstallation requirements
To install the Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone in an IP Office environment, ensure that you have the
following provisions:
• IP Office system on page 14
• Telephone power on page 15
• DHCP server on page 15
File server on page 15
•
• Avaya IP endpoint licenses on page 15
IP Office requirements
The IP Office system must:
• Be upgraded to IP Office Release 9.0.3 or later.
• Be running in any IP Office mode other than Basic Edition.
• Include unused Avaya IP endpoint licenses.
• Have Voice Compression Modules (VCM) in the control unit of IP500 and IP500 V2 based
systems.
The IP Office system must have voice compression channels, also known as VCM channels. VCM
is required:
• During incoming or outgoing call setup with the system.
• During any call to or from a non-IP trunk or phone.
• During any call to or from an IP trunk or phone that is using a different codec than the
telephone.
For IP500 and IP500 V2 systems, you can add VCM to the system through a combination of the
following options.
• IP500 VCM Base Cards: For IP500 and IP500v2 systems, installation of up to 2 IP500 VCM
base cards. There are 2 types of card are available, the IP500 VCM 32 and the IP500 VCM 64,
each providing 32 and 64 VCM channels respectively. Note that each IP500 VCM card also
enables 12 Avaya IP endpoints without requiring licenses
• IP500 Combination Cards: For IP500v2 systems only, installation of up to 2 IP500 Combination
cards. These cards provide a mix of digital extension ports, analog trunk ports and trunk ports.
Each card also provides 10 voice compression channels. These cards do not enable any
unlicensed Avaya IP endpoints.
• IP400 VCM Cards: For IP500 and IP500v2 systems, installation of up to 2 legacy IP400 VCM
cards using an IP500 Legacy Card Carrier. The IP400 VCM cards supported 4, 8, 16, 24, or 30
voice compression channels.
For Linux based IP Office systems no additional hardware is required.

Page 15
Preinstallation requirements
Telephone power requirements
Each Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone requires a power supply. You can provide the power through:
• A PoE (Power over Ethernet) network.
• A 5V DC power supply unit that requires each phone to have access to a mains power outlet.
DHCP server requirements
Avaya recommends using a DHCP server because of the ease that the DHCP server provides for
installation and maintenance procedures. The DHCP server provides following information to the
deskphone:
• The IP address of the deskphone
• The IP address of the file server where the firmware and the configuration files reside.
You can provide DHCP support in two ways:
• DHCP on IP Office : You can enable DHCP on an IP Officesystem. In this case you need not
configure the DHCP option 66 because the IP Office system provides the firmware and the
configuration server details to the deskphone.
• Third-party DHCP: You can configure a separate server as a DHCP server and configure the
DHCP option 66 to provide the firmware and the configuration server details to the deskphone.
File server requirements
The IP Office system performs the role of a file server to provide the configuration and firmware files
that the deskphone requires.
To operate with the IP Office system, the Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone must download specific
firmware and configuration files at the time of start-up. The deskphone requests the firmware and
configuration files from a file server. The deskphone uses the HTTP file server address to request
for the files.
Avaya IP endpoint licenses requirements
Each IP endpoint that the telephone system supports requires a license, either an Avaya IP
Endpoint license or a third-party IP Endpoint license. Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone uses the Avaya
IP Endpoint licenses.
The system automatically assigns the licenses to deskphones in order of deskphone registration.
However, you can configure existing extensions to reserve a license. The license reservation
ensures that the deskphones do not become unlicensed when newly added extensions manage to
register first following a system reboot.

Deskphone installation in the IP Office environment
For IP500 and IP500 V2 systems, each IP500 VCM 32 and IP500 VCM 64 card installed in the
system supports 12 Avaya IP endpoints without licenses.
Create deskphone users
For each deskphone, you must create a user entry and an extension entry in the system
configuration.
You must create users and extensions prior to connecting the deskphones to the network.
Adding and configuring deskphone users
Procedure
1. Receive the configuration from the system through IP Office Manager.
2.
Select User.
3.
Click
4. Select the User tab.
5. In the Name field, enter the account name.
6. In the Extension field, enter an extension number. It is the user name that the deskphone
requests when the deskphone connects to the IP Office system.
7. Select the Telephony > Supervisor Settings tab.
8. In the Login Code field, enter a login code of at least 4 digits. It is the password that the
deskphone requests when the deskphone connects to the IP Office system.
9. Click OK.
10. If IP Office Manager prompts to create an extension, select SIP Extension, and click OK.
11. Repeat Step 1 to Step 10 to add more users.

DHCP server configuration
DHCP server configuration
DHCP minimizes maintenance for Avaya E129 SIP Deskphone by removing the need to individually
assign and maintain IP addresses and other parameters for each deskphone on the network.
Depending on administration, the DHCP server provides the following information to the
deskphones:
• IP address of the deskphone
• IP address of the HTTP or HTTPS file server where the firmware and the configuration files
reside.
• IP address of the subnet mask
• IP address of the router
• IP address of DNS
Administer the LAN so that each SIP deskphone can access a DHCP server that contains the IP
addresses and subnet mask.
The IP address reuse capability allows the deskphone to reuse its previous IP address and
parameter settings even if the DHCP server is temporarily unavailable. A user can manually assign
a different IP address to an IP deskphone. If the user assigns the IP address manually, the
deskphone does not search for a DHCP server unless the static IP address is, subsequently,
unassigned manually.
Since manual entry of an IP address is an error-prone process, you must ensure the following:
• A minimum of two DHCP servers are available for reliability.
• A DHCP server is available when the IP deskphone reboots.
• A DHCP server is available at remote sites if WAN failures isolate IP deskphones from the
central site DHCP servers.
We can provide the configuration file that the deskphone require through an HTTP or HTTPS file
server.
Setting the DHCP server
About this task
This section is limited to describing a generic administration that works with Avaya E129 SIP
Deskphone. The following DHCP software alternatives are common to Windows operating systems:
• Windows NT® 4.0 DHCP Server
• Windows 2000® DHCP Server
• Windows 2003® DHCP Server
• Windows 2008® DHCP Server
• Windows 2012® DHCP Server

Option 15Specifies the DNS domain name. This string contains the domain name to be used
when DNS names in system parameters are resolved into IP addresses. This domain
name is appended to the DNS name before the deskphones attempt to resolve the
DNS address. Option 15 is necessary if you want to use a DNS name for the HTTP
server.
Option 66Specifies the TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS server link. You must provide the IP address in
a dotted decimal format along with the string http://. For example, http://

After you installed the deskphone, you must restrict the configuration options to prevent users from
making changes that can affect the deskphone operation.
You can secure the deskphone administration control through:
• The configuration file parameters
• The Web GUI

Administration control through the configuration file on page 28
Administration control through the configuration file
You can administer control of the deskphone centrally through the configuration file that Avaya
provides with E129 deskphones. The configuration file resides on the configuration server and is a
binary or an XML file that contains configuration parameters. Each parameter corresponds to a
feature that you configure through the Web interface. To configure a feature, you can assign the
required value to the parameter of that feature.
When the deskphone starts or restarts, the deskphone makes a TFTP, HTTP, or HTTPS request to
the configuration server for configuration files. The deskphone requests for an XML file named
cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx.xml followed by a file named cfgxxxxxxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxxxxxx is the MAC
address of the deskphone. For example, cfg000b820102ab.xml and cfg000b820102ab. If these files
are unavailable, the deskphone downloads a generic configuration file, cfg.xml. The configuration
file name must be in lowercase.
Set the following parameters in the configuration file.
