Provision Avaya IP Phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition

This topic takes Avaya J139 (firmware: 4.1.5.0.6) as an example to describe how to provision Avaya IP phone with Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition.

Requirements

The firmwares of Avaya IP phone and Yeastar PBX meet the following requirements.


Model	Phone Requirement	PBX Requirement
J129	4.1.1.0.7 or later	84.16.0.70 or later
J139	4.1.1.0.7 or later	84.16.0.70 or later
J159	4.1.1.0.7 or later	84.16.0.70 or later
J169	4.1.1.0.7 or later	84.16.0.70 or later
J179	4.1.1.0.7 or later	84.16.0.70 or later
J189	4.1.1.0.7 or later	84.16.0.70 or later
9608	7.1.15.2.1 or later	84.16.0.70 or later

Prerequisites

Prepare a DHCP server in the subnet where the IP phone is located to provide an IP address for the IP phone.

Note: Make sure that there is only one DHCP server running in the subnet, or the IP phone would fail to obtain an IP address.
RESET the IP phone if it is previously used.
Gather information of IP phone, including Vendor, Model, and MAC address.
Make sure that you have downloaded the template for the desired phone model (Path: Auto Provisioning > Resource Repository > Default Templates).
Set the registration name to the same as the extension number for the extension that will be assigned to the IP phone (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > > User > Extension Information).

Important: Due to the IP phone's limitation, the extension's Registration Name must be the same as the Extension Number; otherwise, the registration will FAIL.

Procedure

Step 1. Add the Avaya IP phone on PBX
Step 2. Configure DHCP option 242 on DHCP server

Step 1. Add the Avaya IP phone on PBX

Add the IP phone on PBX. The PBX will generate a configuration file based on the phone's MAC address.

Log in to PBX web portal, go to Auto Provisioning > Phones.
Click Add > Add.
In the IP Phone section, enter the following phone information.
- Vendor: Select Avaya.
- Model: Select the phone model. In this example, select J139.
- MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the IP phone.
In the Options section, configure the following settings.
- Template: Select a desired template from the drop-down list.
  Note: You can select the default template corresponding to the phone model, or customize your own template. For more information, see Create a Custom Auto Provisioning Template.
- Provisioning Link: A provisioning link is automatically generated and displayed in this field. This provisioning link points to the location where the phone's configuration file is stored.
  
  Note: Note down the provisioning link, as you will use it later.
In the Assign Extension section, assign an extension to the IP phone.
Tip: If your desired extension is not listed in the drop-down list, it indicates that the extension has been associated with an IP phone.
- To release the extension from the associated IP phone, see Release an Extension from a Provisioned IP Phone.
- To register the extension to the phone without releasing it from the previously associated one, you need to configure the concurrent registration setting for the extension, as the PBX only allows an extension to register with one SIP endpoint by default.
Click Save.
The IP phone is added and displayed in the Auto Provisioning phone list.
Set the phone language for the IP phone.
1. In the Auto Provisioning phone list, click beside the Avaya IP phone.
2. In the phone configuration page, scroll down to the Preference section, and select the desired phone language based on the phone model.
3. Click Save.

Step 2. Configure DHCP option 242 on DHCP server

Configure DHCP option 242 to point to the PBX. This allows the Avaya IP phone to automatically retrieve its configuration files from the PBX.

The following instructions take Tftpd64 DHCP server as an example to show how to configure the option 242.

On the running Tftpd64 software, go to Settings > DHCP > DHCP Options.
Add option 242 and define the location of the configuration files.
1. In the Additional Option field, enter 242.
2. In the string value field, enter the provisioning link obtained from the PBX in the following format:
```
TLSSRVR=yeastardocs.ras.yeastar.com,TLSDIR=api/autoprovision/lgjnRL8CkoYFXWJd,TLSPORT=443,SIG=2
```
  - TLSSRVR: The domain name of the PBX.
  - TLSDIR: The file path on the PBX (e.g. api/autoprovision/lgjnRL8CkoYFXWJd).
  - TLSPORT: The server port of the PBX.
  - SIG: The software version of the Avaya IP phone. Set the value to 2.
Click OK to save the settings.

Results

After rebooting the IP phone, it gets an IP address from the DHCP server, downloads the configurations from the PBX via the provisioning link, and applies the settings automatically.
The extension is successfully registered on the IP phone. You can check the registration status on Auto Provisioning > Phone on the PBX web portal.
