Avaya VPN Client Release 10.04.109 for Windows 7

May 7, 2011
by Michael McNamara in

Avaya has released version 10.04.109 of their VPN client that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. This single client supports the following operating systems (in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions);

  • Windows XP
  • Windows Vista
  • Windows 7

The following issues have been identified and resolved according the the release notes;

  • wi00875648 - Certificates with UTF-8 encoded issuer name can’t be selected.
  • wi00875671 - Sometimes users might get “Unhandled exception” error when trying to select a certificate or display its details.
  • wi00875676 - Pre-application launch command line not saved properly.

In the past I attempted to host the client files and I quickly ate through my 40 GB/monthly quota on my host. I’m going to attempt to-do this again however I will most likely change the URL from time to time to guarantee that people aren’t hot-linking to it.

I may also restrict access to only ARIN based IP addresses, again I’ll have to see how things go the second time around.

Cheers!

I’ve added MD5 hashes for both the files.

Where are all the Avaya technical configuration guides?

I get a lot of questions (actually two or three in just the past 20 posts on the forums) asking where people can find more technical information about a specific product or configuration concerning Avaya (formerly Nortel) data products such as the Ethernet Routing Switch or their telephony products and specifically the legacy Nortel IP phones.

Thankfully Avaya has done something that I truly applaud them for, something that Nortel always had issues with either allowing or executing (not completely sure which it was). What am I talking about you ask? Avaya allows Google to index their support website with all those juicy technical configuration guides. You only need to ask Google to show you the light;

http://www.google.com/search?q=technical%20configuration%20guide%20site%3Asupport.avaya.com&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&source=hp&channel=np

You can either enter the following query or you can click on the link above;

technical configuration guide site:support.avaya.com

So while Greg over at Etherealmind is complaining about Cisco’s website I’ve found my way around Avaya’s website thanks in no small part to Google. I’m not sure why Greg doesn’t just use Google himself?

Cheers!

Cisco Router as a DHCP Server for Avaya IP Phones

Here’s a sample configuration detailing how to configure a Cisco router as a DHCP server for Avaya (formerly Nortel) IP phones including the Avaya/Nortel specific DHCP options 128 and 191. I thought I would share this information with the Nortel/Avaya users in case they are utilizing (or wish to utilize) the DHCP server functionality built-in to the Cisco IOS platform. The key is to configure the Cisco router to reply with the correct DHCP vendor options so the IP phone will boot properly.
