Upgrading IP Office

When updating an existing IP Office that is integrated to DuVoice there are some precautions that need to be accounted for. Otherwise the Voicemail and Hospitality features could stop working. Before our support team is able to make any configuration changes to the DuVoice system, a live support service contract will need to be in place AND a current version of DuVoice DV2000 will be required. We highly recommend contacting us before an IPO version upgrade so that we know we can assist. If upgrading from an analog IP Office, the integration will need to be updated to use SIP.

Integration documentation for reference, here.

Depending on existing settings, the PBX link integration may stop working. The PBX link is what DuVoice uses to forward name and COS updates to the IP Office.

This is not supported by Avaya. These DLL files are updated versions of those in the Avaya SDK distributed with DV2000 distribution to perform name changes. Avaya has never updated their SDK distribution since it's release.

It is not known if the DLL's provided via IP Office Manager are backwards compatible and therefore you should always use the version of IP Office Manager you use to manage your IP Office.

This procedure must be performed each time the DV2000 is updated/upgraded.

  1. Shutdown the DV2000.
  2. Optionally backup the DLL files listed below (from the DuVoice folder) in case the ones from you IP Office Manager do not work.
  3. Copy all DLL files from the Avaya IP Office Manager installation folder to the DV2000 installation folder.
    These files are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Avaya\IP Office Admin Suite\Manager and should be copied to C:\Program Files (x86)\DuVoice DV2000.
    These files are:
    • LegacySettings.dll
    • SecurityManager.dll
    • UpgdWiz.dll
    • WhoIs2.dll
    • WindowsControlLibrary.dll
    • ValidationVisability.dll
    • CoreServices.dll
  4. Optionally, create a seperate backup the DLL files listed above in case you need to readd them after performing a DuVoice patch update.
  5. Start the DV2000.
  6. Test using either IPOViewer or performing a name change.

In addition to the 'from v11 and below' notes mentioned above, and depending on existing settings, the SIP integration may stop working. This is generally due to the DuVoice system failing to register to the created IP Office extensions.

IP Office Configuration

On the IP Office, create passwords for the DuVoice extensions.

Depending on existing settings, the PBX link integration may stop working. The PBX link is what DuVoice uses to forward name and COS updates to the IP Office. We'll need to change Change TLS to 1.0 (from 1.2).
