Preparing Communication Manager for the VPNremote Phone
A VPNremote Phone is configured the same as other IP telephones on the Avaya Media Server
running Avaya Communication Manager. Even though the VPNremote Phone is physically
located outside of the corporate network, the VPNremote Phone will behave the same as other
Avaya IP telephones located on the LAN once the VPN tunnel has been established.
VPNremote Phone as a single extension on Communication Manager
The VPNremote Phone user can have a single extension on the Avaya Media Server running
Avaya Communication Manager. A single extension allows the user to be connected to the
Communication Manager from one location at a time - either the office or the SOHO.
If the desired configuration is to connect to Communication Manager from both the office and
the SOHO, you must configure VPNremote Phone as a separate extension that has a bridged
appearance of the office extension. For more information on a bridged appearance on
Communication Manager, see
VPNremote Phone as a bridged appearance on Communication
Manager .
For additional information regarding Communication Manager configuration, see the
Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager.
VPNremote Phone as a bridged appearance on Communication Manager
The VPNremote Phone user can have a bridged appearance of the office extension on the
Avaya Media Server running Avaya Communication Manager. A bridged appearance allows the
user to be connected to the Communication Manager from two locations at the same time. As a
call comes in, both telephones ring. If a voicemail message is received and the message
indicator light is configured, the light appears on both telephones.
The bridged appearance configuration is the most common configuration for VPNremote Phone
users.
For additional information regarding Communication Manager configuration, see the
Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager.
Installing the VPNremote Phone in the enterprise network
The Avaya VPNremote for 4600 Series IP Telephone is a standard Avaya 4600 Series IP
Telephone with an additional VPNremote Client capability. The installation of the VPNremote
Phone in the enterprise network is the same as the installation of any Avaya 4600 Series IP
Telephones.
For detailed instructions on how to install the VPNremote Phone into the enterprise network,
see the Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide.
