Overview:
1. Overview
This document provides details on the web control menus for the IP Office Server Edition application. These menus are
accessed using a web browser.
IP Office Server Edition is a networked telephony solution that can consist of multiple servers. Each server can host a
number of different applications depending on the server's role; Server Edition Primary Server, Server Edition Secondary
Server and Server Edition Expansion System (L).
For IP Office Release 9.0, the web control menus are accessible as part of the Web Manager menus. Refer to the IP Office
Web Manager and IP Office Server Edition documentation 11 .
Linux
This is the base operating system used. However, no specific Linux knowledge is required for installation and
maintenance.
IP Office
This is a media gateway for voice and video calls using IP (H323 and SIP) trunks and telephones. The
application is configured and managed remotely using the IP Office Server Edition Administrator Applications
suite (IP Office Manager, System Status Application, System Monitor).
Voicemail Pro
This is a voicemail server. It provides mailbox services to all users and hunt groups on the IP Office system.
In addition, you can customize it to provide a range of call routing and voicemail services. Maintainers use the
Windows Voicemail Pro client, downloadable from the server, to remotely configure the service. The number
of simultaneous connections to voicemail is licensed.
Optional Services
The server can include a number of additional services. Click Show optional services to display those
services.
Web Collaboration
This service works with one-X Portal for IP Office. It provides users with web collaboration services usable
in parallel with audio conference hosted by the telephone system. In the parallel web collaboration
session, users can share views of their desktop, documents, etc.

Technical Bulletins
Avaya provide a technical bulletin for each releases of IP Office software. The bulletin details changes that may have
occurred too late to be included in this documentation. The bulletins also detail the changes in the software release
compared to previous releases and any specific actions required or restrictions that apply if upgrading from a previous
release.

1.3 Network Configuration Limitations
The IP Office control unit has two physical LAN interfaces: LAN1 and LAN2. The ports labeled LAN and WAN respectively.
Scenarios where users of the one-X Portal for IP Office application are accessing it from the IP Office's other LAN should
be avoided for more than 30 users.
They should also be avoided when using NAT on traffic between LAN1 and LAN2. These restrictions apply even for IP
Office system is in a Small Community Network.
Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Safari
Enabled
With referred authentication enabled, the security settings of the IP Office service running on the IP Office
Server Edition control access to the following other services:
Disabled
With referred authentication disabled, each service controls access to itself using its own local account
settings.
For Server Edition and IP Office Application Server servers, referred authentication is supported from IP Office Release
9.0 onwards and is the default on new installations. For the Unified Communications Module it is supported from IP Office
Release 9.1 onwards.
Upgrading
For servers upgraded from pre-IP Office Release 9.0, the default authentication used depends on the status of the web
control Administrator password:
If the Administrator password is still default, the server defaults to Enable referred authentication.
If the Administrator password is not default, the server does not default to Enable referred authentication.

2. Voicemail Pro Configuration
By default the Voicemail Pro application automatically provides basic mailbox services for all users and hunt groups in the
IP Office configuration. For installations with just a single IP Office and Voicemail Pro server this normally occurs without
any further configuration.
Details of IP Office and Voicemail Pro configuration are covered by the Voicemail Pro Installation manual and Voicemail
Pro Administration manuals 11 . This section of this manual covers only the minimum steps recommended to ensure that
the voicemail server is operating.

2.1 Windows to Linux Voicemail Transfer
You can transfer a set of Voicemail Pro backup files from a Windows based voicemail server to a Linux based voicemail
server.
a. Using the Voicemail Pro client, perform an immediate backup on the Windows voicemail server, selecting to
backup all types of file.
b. This will create a backup folder, the name of which includes the date and time of the backup and Immediate.
For example VMPro_Backup_26012011124108_Immediate. The default path for such folders is C:
\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\Voicemail Pro\Backup\Scheduled.
c. Within Windows, locate the folder just created by the backup and copy the folder to the PC with your SSH file
transfer tool.
5. Select Settings.
6. On the General tab, select the Restore button for the Voicemail service. From the list of available backups,
select the one just copied onto the server.
7. Click OK.
If you do not allow remote SSH access to the server, you can transfer files from the CD/DVD drive. This requires
mounting the contents of the CD or DVD as part of the folder structure.
6. The contents of the drive are now accessible as part of the file structure in the folder /mnt/cdrom.
cp -a -f /mnt/cdrom/VMPro_Backup_26012011124108_Immediate /opt/vmpro/Backup/Scheduled/

Date
For a server not using NTP, this field shows the server's current date and allows that to be changed. If using
NTP this field is greyed out. For virtual servers this field is not used. If not using NTP, the virtual server takes
its time from the virtual server host platform.
Time
For a server not using NTP, this field shows the server's current UTC time and allows that to be changed. If
using NTP this field is greyed out. For virtual servers this field is not used. If not using NTP, the virtual server
takes its time from the virtual server host platform.
Timezone
In some instances the time displayed or used by a function needs to be the local time rather than UTC time.
The Timezone field determines the appropriate offset applied to the UTC time above. Note that changing the
timezone can cause a "Session expired" message to appear in the browser in which case you need to login
again.
! WARNING
For a virtualized server, shown by the Virtualized value on the System 45 menu, this field is part of the
System Identification (SID) used for licensing. Changing this value also changes the System
Identification and so invalidates any current licenses. If that happens, new licenses need to be obtained
using the new System Identification.
NTP Servers
With Enable Network Time Protocol selected, use this field to enter the IP address of an NTP server or
servers to use. Enter each address as a separate line. The network administrator or ISP may have an NTP
server for this purpose. A list of publicly accessible NTP servers is available at http://support.ntp.org/bin/
view/Servers/WebHome. However, it is your responsibility to comply with the usage policy of the chosen
server. Choose several unrelated NTP servers in case one of the servers becomes unreachable or its clock
unreliable. The server uses the responses it receives from each NTP server to determine reliability.
The IP Office system can also use NTP to obtain its system time.

! WARNING
For a virtualized server, shown by the Virtualized value on the System 45 menu, this field is part of the
System Identification (SID) used for licensing. Changing this value also changes the System
Identification and so invalidates any current licenses. If that happens, new licenses need to be obtained
using the new System Identification.
Use DHCP
If selected, the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway information is obtained by the server making
DHCP requests. The related fields are greyed out and cannot be set manually, instead they show the values
obtained in response to the DHCP request.
IP Address
Displays the IP address set for the server. If not using DHCP, you can edit the field to change the setting.

using the new System Identification.
Subnet Mask
Displays the subnet mask applied to the IP address. If not using DHCP, you can edit the field to change the
setting.
Default Gateway
Displays the default gateway settings for routing. If not using DHCP, you can edit the field to change the
setting.
System DNS
Enter the address of the primary DNS server. This option is greyed out if the address of the DNS server is set
to be obtained from the DHCP server (see below).
Create Subinterface
You can use this control to create an additional VLAN subnet on the same port. Clicking the button displays
the menu for the subinterface network settings.

5.5.3 Date and Time
The server uses these settings to set or obtain a UTC date and time. The server uses those values for its services.
Date
For a server not using NTP, this field shows the server's current date and allows that to be changed. If using
NTP this field is greyed out. For virtual servers this field is not used. If not using NTP, the virtual server takes
its time from the virtual server host platform.
Time
For a server not using NTP, this field shows the server's current UTC time and allows that to be changed. If
using NTP this field is greyed out. For virtual servers this field is not used. If not using NTP, the virtual server
takes its time from the virtual server host platform.
Timezone
In some instances the time displayed or used by a function needs to be the local time rather than UTC time.
The Timezone field determines the appropriate offset applied to the UTC time above. Note that changing the
timezone can cause a "Session expired" message to appear in the browser in which case you need to login
again.
! WARNING
For a virtualized server, shown by the Virtualized value on the System 45 menu, this field is part of the
System Identification (SID) used for licensing. Changing this value also changes the System
Identification and so invalidates any current licenses. If that happens, new licenses need to be obtained
using the new System Identification.
NTP Servers
With Enable Network Time Protocol selected, use this field to enter the IP address of an NTP server or
servers to use. Enter each address as a separate line. The network administrator or ISP may have an NTP
server for this purpose. A list of publicly accessible NTP servers is available at http://support.ntp.org/bin/
view/Servers/WebHome. However, it is your responsibility to comply with the usage policy of the chosen
server. Choose several unrelated NTP servers in case one of the servers becomes unreachable or its clock
unreliable. The server uses the responses it receives from each NTP server to determine reliability.
The IP Office system can also use NTP to obtain its system time.
5.5.4 Authentication
Enable referred authentication
The password authentication used for access to the some services hosted by the server use either each
services' own security settings or the security user accounts configured in the IP Office service running on the
IP Office Server Edition. See Password Authentication 12 . This setting controls which method is used.
Enabled
With referred authentication enabled, the security settings of the IP Office service running on the IP Office
Server Edition control access to the following other services:
Disabled
With referred authentication disabled, each service controls access to itself using its own local account
settings.
Note that the size must first be increased on the virtual machine using the vSphere client and the virtual machine then
restarted. The matching change can then be made through this menu. For full details refer to the 'Deploying Server
Edition Servers as Virtual Machines' manual

5.5.6 HTTP Server
Enable HTTP file store for backup/restore
If selected, the server can act as the 'remote server' destination for HTTP/HTTPS backups configured through the
Web Manager menus. When enabled, the System 45 menu displays the quota available for backups. Servers with
Voicemail Pro only support this option on disks larger than 155GB. Servers without Voicemail Pro only support this
option on disks larger than 95GB.
New Password
Enter the new password.
Note that this is different from the Administrator account used for access to Web Manager and the IP Office
configuration. Whilst both Administrator accounts are given the same password during the server ignition, this menu
allows the Linux password to be changed separately.
The password for the Administrator account used by Web Manager and IP Office configuration is changed using those
applications.
New Password
Enter the new password.
System ID (SID):
This is the unique system reference used to validate licenses issued for this particular system. For a physical
server this is a unique value based on the server hardware. For a virtual server this value is based on several
factors including the LAN1 and LAN2 IP addresses, the host name and the timezone. If any of those are
changed, the System ID changes and any existing licenses become invalid.

5.6 VNC
This menu allows you to configure VNC access to the server's graphical desktop. You can then use the VNC access either
through these menus or using a separate third-party such as TigerVNC. See Using VNC 36 . The VNC menu is not
supported for virtualized servers.
VNC access using the root user account is not supported. Some applications, for example Wireshark, require root
user permissions and so cannot be used when accessing the server via VNC.
For a server deployed as a VMware virtual machine, additional configuration may be necessary to allow the use of
the VNC menu. For details refer to the manual "Deploying Avaya IP Office Platform Servers as Virtual Machines".
Settings
You can use this menu to start and stop the server's VNC service. The VNC client used to access the desktop must match
the Port settings.
View
You can use this menu to connect and display the desktop using the browser as the VNC client.
