As Web Manager continues to evolve into the primary management tool for IP Office, the configuration field descriptions will be migrated from the Manager application. This section lists the Manager changes in 9.1.
SIP Line configuration parameters have been reorganized. The standard line tabs now contain only those parameters that are commonly used for most deployment scenarios. A new SIP Advanced tab and a new SIP Engineering tab now contain the less common configuration parameters, usually reserved for expert users and support personnel. See SIP Line.
The SIP Line | Advanced tab now contains a Send SilenceSupp=Off check box. This is used for the G711 codec. When checked, the silence suppression off attribute is sent in SDP on this trunk.
The IP DECT Line | Gateway tab now contains configuration fields for Enable Resiliency.
If resiliency is enabled, you can enable the option Backs up my IP DECT Phones on the IP Office Line tab.
The NoCallerId alarm can be suppressed using a NoUser source number. For a description of source numbers, see User | Source Numbers.
For the procedure to suppress the alarm, see Suppressing the NoCallerId Alarm.
Call barring can be overridden for numbers entered in the external directory. The configuration setting Directory Overrides Barring has been added to the System | Telephony | Telephony tab.
For configuration information, see Overriding Call Barring.
A Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) using a Bellcore FSK MWI signal is now supported for analog trunks that terminate on an ATM4U-V2 card.
The configuration setting is located at Extension | Analog | Message Waiting Lamp Indication Type.
For a configuration procedure, see Message Waiting Indication for Analogue Trunks.
A configuration procedure has been added for preventing toll bypass. See PreventingToll Bypass.
The User | User tab, now contains a Web Collaboration check box. When enabled, it allows the user to use the Web Collaboration application.
The System | Telephony | Tones and Music tab now contains a Analog Trunk VAD check box. Select this option to enable Voice Activity Detection (VAD) for analog trunks terminating on the ATM4U-V2 card. VAD functionality provides a Call Answer signal triggered by voice activity.
The RTCP collector IP address for phones field has been added to the LAN | VoIP tab. This setting enables you to send the RTCP data collected to a third party QoS monitoring application.
On the User | User tab, the Enable Remote Worker option does not need to be enabled for users with SIP phones if an Avaya Session Border Controller for Enterprise (ASBCE) is deployed in the network to allow remote workers to register their SIP phone from a remote location.
On the System | Voicemail tab, you can use the Outcalling Control setting to enable or disable system wide outcalling on Voicemail Pro.
The following changes have been made to authorization codes.
Authorization codes are now enabled by default.
SMDR field 19 shows n/a regardless of whether an authorization code was used.
Authorization codes can no longer be associated with User Rights. An authorization code must be associated with a user.
![]() | Note |
In release 9.1, authorization codes can no longer be associated with User Rights. If an authorization code was configured in relationship with User Rights in an earlier release configuration, this authorization code will be lost during upgrade. The administrator must re-configure the authorization code, after upgrade. The authorization code must be associated with a user. |
The authorization code configuration settings are described on the page for the Authorization Code tab.
For a configuration procedure, see Configuring Authorization Codes.
On the System | LAN1 | VoIP tab, under the SIP Registrar Enable settings, the Auto-create Extn/User setting is now mergeable. Changing this setting does not require a reboot.
