Features

Requirements

PBX Configuration

When configuring an IP Office Server solution you must manage users, extensions and groups discussed here on the server and not under Solution. If you have additional IP500's connected to the solution it is suggested to manage them via that specific Server rather than under Solution.

IP500 and Server Editions are configured the same with the exception of voicemail support and optional changes for forwarding.

Security Settings

These changes must be made by logging into the security configuration of the PBX using Avaya IP Office Manager located under File | Advanced | Security Settings….

Login using the security account.

Default username and passwords:
User Name: security
Password: securitypwd

Services

These settings allow the DuVoice to change names and other settings.

Setting Description
Service Security Level Select Unsecure + Secure.
Security Access Source Select Server Edition Manager for Server Edition and Unrestricted for IP500.

System

For Emergency Alert (EAS) DevLink is required. TAPI is required if using Station Monitor.

Setting Description
DevLink Check this box for EAS support.

Certificate Update

The IP Office name change interface requires a valid certificate on the IP Office. If this certificate is expired then name changes and CTI interfaces will fail. Typically there is no need to manage this section but it's noted here to verify proper configuration.

Only IP500 supports voicemail groups. If the location is using the DuVoice as the primary voicemail set the voicemail type to Group Voicemail, otherwise this setting can be anything. If Group Voicemail is not to be used for IP500, follow the instructions to configure forwarding short codes to use DuVoice voicemail in conjunction with Embedded or Voicemail Pro. If using IPO Server Edition, Group Voicemail is not an option and the forwarding short codes will need to be used for DuVoice voicemail.

Forward to Voicemail

When using IP Office Server Edition with multiple IP Offices at a single location this shortcode is required.

Setting Description
Code *67;
Feature Dial Extension
Telephone Number Enter the DuVoice group number followed by |>>E

Example: 2000|>>E

MWI ON

Setting Description
Code *81*N*
Telephone Number N";Mailbox Msgs=1"

MWI OFF

Setting Description
Code *80*N*
Telephone Number N";Mailbox Msgs=0"

Call Forward On

This code is used when a guest room requests do not disturb (DND) on. This is only required when DuVoice is not the Group voicemail for the system because setting DND for a user does not use the forward settings.

Setting Description
Code *98*N*
Telephone Number "@POST="N";"

Call Forward Off

This code is used when a guest room requests do not disturb (DND) off. This is only required when DuVoice is not the Group voicemail for the system because setting DND for a user does not use the forward settings.

Setting Description
Code *99*N*
Telephone Number "@POST="N";"

DuVoice Configuration

Add the RestrictPhone notification template to each guest mailbox.

Operator

By default the DuVoice assigns the operator mailbox extension “0”. This will be dialed for transfers to the operator, Failed wakeup alerts, and possible 911 Emergency alerts. Avaya IP Office does not have a 0 extension by default. It is required to configure a shortcode that will direct calls to 0 to the appropriate extension or huntgroup. This will normally be the reception desk. The following example sends 0 to group 501.

Maid status codes

This code is used when a maid enter a room pickes up the guest phone and dials a desired shortcode rather than the duvoice default of maids manually dialing duvoice and entering the 61N maid code. This is a optional features and you can use any available shortcode the customer needs/wants. In the following example, the DuVoice huntgroup is 7777 (This should be changed to match the huntgroup you have configured for DuVoice), and the shortcode used on the IPOffice is *61

Setting Description
Code *61N
Feature Dial Extension
Telephone Number 7777,,61N
Line Group ID 0

User Rights

For hospitality systems at least two User Rights groups must be created.

create the desired number of user rights templates for guests in various states. By default the DuVoice uses the names RESTRICTED for rooms which are checked out and UNRESTRICTED for those which are checked in.

These names are case-sensitive.

Staff / Guests

For staff and guest phones using the DuVoice as their voicemail follow these steps.

DuVoice Configuration

If your system was purchased as a kit please follow Installation and Setup from the manual.

System Configuration

The setup wizard only asks for the basic configuration settings and additional configuration must be performed in System Configuration.

From the DuVoice server, run System Configuration from the DuVoice folder under startup.

Site | Profile

For each IP Office at a location a separate profile is required in order to perform name changes.

When using multiple IP Office's at a site, you must create a new profile for each of PBX. Then configure all the guest mailboxes located on a specific PBX within it's own profile. This is due to the Avaya User Configuration API not currently supporting changing names and class of service across a solution.

Details

Setting Description

Duplicate Protection

These settings allow you to temporarily block alerts from the same extension for a specified number of seconds after an emergency number is dialed.

For example, if extension 1101 dials 911, an alert will be sent. If they hang up and then redial 911 again 10 seconds later and then again 5 minutes after that, that would normally generate a second and then a third alert. However, if this setting is set to 30 seconds, the second alert would be blocked while the third would be sent (since it occurred more than 30 seconds after the first alert).

SettingDefaultDescription
Duplicate Protection0Enter the length of time, in seconds, to block additional alerts from the same extension after sending the initial alert.

Set to 0 to disable this feature and allow every call to generate an alert.
Block per-numberdisabledIf enabled, then the temporary blocking only applies if the extension calls the same emergency number; calls to other emergency numbers will still generate alerts.

If disabled, then the temporary blocking applies regardless of which emergency number is dialed.

SNMP Configuration

Issues with using SNMP alerts:

DuVoice Configuration

Set the SNMP Trap service in the Windows Services to Automatic and start the service.

PBX Configuration

Enable SNMP

Enable SNMP in System Events.

Configure Alarm

SettingDescription

FormatIP Office.
Minimum Severity LevelWarnings
EventsEmergency Calls. Do not check any other type of event.

Mailbox Administration

If the location is using the Forward ON/OFF shortcodes for DND then each guest mailbox must have the RestrictPhone notification added to the list of notifications.

Trouble Shooting

PBX Changes

If the IP Office displays the following dialog choose Retain. This is because the DuVoice system has made changes to the PBX since the last time Manager has been run.

DND Disables forwarding

This is a problem with the Avaya TAPI driver which is used to enable/disable DND for a user. This is typically not a problem, however when using forwarding on users rather than configuring the DuVoice system as the voicemail it can occur.

Disable support for DND in the profile.

Message Button Fails

On upgrades and by default the IP Office is configured so that the message button sends user to visual voicemail rather than the voicemail system defined.

Note: The message button cannot be used on Server Edition because it does not support voicemail of type group. If using a non-server edition the steps below can be used to resolve it.

  1. Login to IP Office Administration.
  2. Go to the System settings.
  3. Click on Voicemail tab
  4. Uncheck Messages Button Goes to Visual Voice. You may need to set the voicemail type to something besides Group Voicemail if it's disabled long enough to uncheck the box.
  5. Save changes and merge the configuration.

Date and times in logs

The IP office monitor application is really nice, however it has one major flaw in that it will not time/date stamp the entries.

You can change this behavior by checking the following two fields on the System tab.

Prefix YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss:mss
Date/Time Periodic Prints

MWI Light goes on then immediately goes off

This is typically caused because the extension is configured for voicemail and the DuVoice is not the primary voicemail. Typically the IP Office is configured to use it's own voicemail and when the DuVoice sends a code to turn the light on it will do it, but then immediately turn it off because the IP Office's internal message queue for the extension says it has no messages.

The fix in this case is to disable voicemail for the extension. If this is done you must confirm that the extension is using forwarding in order for the DuVoice to act as it's voicemail mailbox. If the extension is to use the IP Office for it's voicemail you must delete the mailbox which corresponds with this extension in the DuVoice or disable voicemail in mailbox's class of service.

Calling system gives Fast Busy

Typically this is due to the fact the system does not have Voice Compression Module.

Wakeup calls forward to VM

The recommended no answer time is 25 seconds.
