    Upgrade Advice – Avaya IP Office Server Edition 11.1.2.3.0 to 11.1.3.2.0 (VMware Environment)

    Interesting that Avaya finally came out with a patch for that. I had that issue almost a year ago, opened a case, got dragged through the wringer as is typical with them, and their answer was to reimage the server.

    9508 Not booting on 9.0 system

    It's been a while since I've used digital phones. I would get sysmon running and enable file system, TFTP and HTTP filters. That should show you what the phone is looking for. You may have to reboot the system to get the phone to try the upgrade again. I wonder if the phones might have...

    ASBCE upgrade from 8.1 to latest

    I haven't seen one of the Portwells in about 5 years. I used to dread having to work on it as it seemed to develop a mind of its own after logging into it, or maybe it was just underpowered. No remote worker needs at that site, which is one big advantage the Avaya SBCs have, but at the site in...

    ERS3500 upgrade

    The 'ip address switch' command will bind the management IP to the management vlan if you're not in layer 3 mode. Devices not being able to talk to each other could just be the PVID not being set. It looks like vlan 20 is your management vlan, so it could be as simple as these CLI commands...

    Customer doesn't believe abrupt power outage damaged equipment your thoughts

    Yes, small single doctor medical practices. I had a couple of those, but only one dentist office. It got to the point where we'd just say we weren't a good fit for them if someone hunted us down. Larger medical practices were never an issue - just the one doc shops who thought a new phone...

    Customer doesn't believe abrupt power outage damaged equipment your thoughts

    Expansion module power supplies seem to be fragile things. I had around a dozen fail at various sites a couple years back. Nothing else died, just those power bricks. I consider those consumables. In the instances where I would provide and install a UPS, it would be labelled 'phone equipment...

    Call Record SCN

    I'll give you a response that isn't generated via ChatGPT. You can do everything from a call recording standpoint on a networked system that you can do on the system which hosts voicemail pro once you switch the fire department system to centralized voicemail. You'd program a call record...

    Avaya IPO Yealink BLF feature keys.

    Unless something has drastically changed with 3rd party SIP phones, you'll need an Avaya phone to be able to use the majority of programmable button features such as user buttons, group buttons, etc. You're pretty much stuck with what can be handled via shortcode, outside of features like...

    Ip office cold start and power failure

    I had something similar a while back - random brownout alarms showing in sysmon followed by cold start messages. The customer had replaced the several months prior. After swapping the control unit, no more issues. That 500V2 was almost 12 years old at the time, so it had a good run.

    VMPro OPUS Announcements to WAV

    There are options in the vmpro_settings.ini file that can be changed to not encrypt the recordings, or have them record in WAV instead of Opus, but I don't believe it will unencrypt whats already in place - it would just make sure new recordings are not encrypted.

    Ring Central and Avaya

    I have minimal experience with either Ring Central/ACO, but the admin side looks fairly intuitive. All I can offer, based off Avaya's cloud strategy being all over the board over the past decade and their tendency to EOL cloud offerings on a whim, is why not go right to Ring Central and skip...

    IP Office Application Server R12.1 Dell R240 NEW - losses ip addressing after a few days

    There was this bulletin about IP addresses defaulting, which doesn't look exactly like what you're experiencing, but it wouldn't be the first time an an issue was slightly different. I haven't touched 12.0 or 12.1 yet as those releases seemed to be rushed to market, even more than previous...

    IP Office Migrating from Metal server to Virtual server

    When I did this in the past, I had the customer spin up a new server and ignited it with a temporary IP. I saved the IPO config and ran a full backup of voicemail. When we swapped, the customer unplugged the network cable from the physical server, I sent the config to the new virtual server...

    IPO R11.1 is still supported?

    The 12.1 release notes say no future fixes for 11.1 and N-1, so I assume Avaya won't provide support for an 11.1 system, short of IPOSS hardware replacement and software entitlement. I'm not sure what the differences are between 12.0 and 12.1 short of a making a quick dot release for R12 so...

    TIME TO LEAVE, TIME TO LIVE

    Enjoy your retirement Walter. I've got about 10 more years to go before I can say the same.
