Hi K,

I can’t really say with 100% accuracy but from the description I would guess it has something to do with auto-negotiation on the PC port.

You’ll likely get better information from a packet capture of the traffic between the IP phone and the switch.

Good Luck

Hi Mark,

That’s pretty funny… never heard that one before… thanks for the kind words!

I’m not doing any licensing of the Avaya 1100 or 1200 series IP phones since I’m using them with a CS1000E. We are using a Licensing Server for the 2050 IP Softphones that we have deploy for the (work-at-home) call center users. I can’t really speak to the pros or cons of the two methods Avaya provides. You’re probably aware but for others that are sure to follow a complete description of the licensing options is provided in chapter 16 of the SIP Software for Avaya 1100 Series IP Deskphones-Administration.

Sorry I can’t help Mark.

Wanted to ask what type of licensing your are using? The documentation is very murky on the licensing. I am thinking networked locked licensing is what we want to use, so we do not need to enetr every mac address

Hi James,

I’m happy to found the site helpful!

Thanks for taking the time to comment!

I’m working for Bell Canada. I was trying to pull logs from 1150 IP set, but I don’t know the default Id and password.
I find your note from Google, it is perfect!!!

I just want to send this note to you for thank you putting these together!!!

Hi Mike,

Your post is really timely… I just looked down at my 1120e (at home) and noticed a display banner reading “Evaluation period will expire on 2010-09-02. Contact your administrator”. I’ve been running a 1120e from home (over Verizon FiOS) to a NVR 1700 v7.04.359 for the past 60 days with great success. I’ve never dropped a call and could almost never tell I was connected remotely. In once case I totally forgot I was on an “Internet” call when I rebooted my Verizon Actiontec router while trying to troubleshoot another issue that ultimately turned out to be a repeater problem. Unfortunately the evaluation license is coming to an end so I’ll need to go configure the new Juniper SRX240 (branch) and Juniper SRX650 (main) in order to connect my older i2007 IP phone.

Before I go too far let me say that I’m impressed you knew the steps to take to discover the VPN router’s previous IP address. I’ve tried to explain that procedure to so many people and I know it’s gone over the heads of probably 80% of them. Bravo!

In any case setting up the phone and NVR for the 1120e/1140e is really simple (so long as you already have the NVR configured and working). Let’s assume you’ve gotten that far (it really isn’t too difficult once you understand how it works and the lingo).

You’ll need to create a network (Profiles -> Networks) which will include the IP networks you want to advertise to your clients. This network should include all internally accessible routes. Next you’ll need to create a new group (Profiles -> Groups) and configure it as you’d like, jut remember to associate the network you created above with this group. Now you’ll need to create a user (Profiles -> Users), make sure you create the user under the group you created above. Just fill in the IPSec userID and password you can leave the reset of the fields blank.

You’ll also need to figure out if you wan to use the DHCP relay or if you want to assign a group of IP addresses (Servers -> User IP Addr) to the NVR for it to hand out to clients to use. It’ll probably be easier right now to just create a IP address pool (remember it need to be in the same private Layer 3 network that your NVR is in so it can proxy ARP for the traffic).

You probably already know that you need a public and private interface. One will get a public IP address, the other a private IP address. You will need to set a private and public default route.

That should be enough to get you going.

Please post any further questions over on the discussion forums and I’ll be sure to help as much as I can.

Good Luck!

I just upgraded our 1140E’s to 0625C7M and saw the VPN settings. I’m excited that you mentioned that you were doing testing!

I did a little searching in the NTPs and found that the Contivity 1750 was compatible (NN43001-368 06.08 4 June 2010 p. 591). So I did what any self respecting phone guy would do… jumped on EBay and bought one. After a bit of fighting with it, I was able to get in…
sniffer trace showed ARP of gateway IP
used DOS command line on same subnet to find management IP: FOR /L %i IN (1,1,254) DO ping -n 1 172.16.131.%i | FIND /i “Reply”>> c:\ipaddresses.txt
and then finally able to set back to factory default with floppy :-)

Now I am able to access the 1750. I set the LAN interface IP and I can now hit the web interface. After perusing the configuration screens a bit, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Do you happen to have a ‘Configuring a Contivity 1750 to work with an 1140E for Dummies’ post floating around out there? In lieu of that, what documentation would you deem appropriate to read?

Many thanks!

Mike
