Initial Assembly
Prior to initial assembly and mounting (rack or free standing) of your system, check that:
• For Analog Trunk 16 expansion modules, ensure that the protective ground is fitted
• The required Trunk Interface Modules have been installed (see pages 12, 16 and 20),
are of the correct country variant type (see page 29) and if functional grounding is
required (see page 35) that it has been fitted.
• Any optional Integral Voice Compression and/or Dual Modem Modules have been fitted
(see pages 41 and 42 respectively).
• Where rack mounting is required, that the mounting brackets have been fitted (see
• Where structured cabling is to be used it has been installed, conforms to all local
regulations and is clearly labeled.
Perform the following:
1. Mount the IP Office modules in their final location (free standing units are ideally
stacked one upon another).
2. Run the individual Lump-in-Line PSU cables back to the switchable mains supply but
do not switch-on or connect the PSUs to the IP Office modules.
3. With the exception of a WAN3 module, connect the IP Office base module to the
Expansion Modules using Expansion Interconnect Cables (blue - see page 73). These
cables run from one of the Expansion Ports on the rear of a base module to the
Expansion Port on the rear of the Expansion Modules.
For WAN3 Modules, use a LAN Interconnect cable (see page 70) running between one
of the LAN Ports on the front of a base unit to the LAN Port on the front of the WAN3
module.
4. Connect the Trunk Ports on the base unit, using PRI/BRI CAT5E cables (see page 69),
to your provider's trunk sockets.
5. Connect the DT/DS/POT Ports on the front of the units, using DT Line Cords (see page
68), to the structured cable sockets. Note that in default, the lowest port number
corresponds to the lowest extension number (201).
6. Install all telephones in their appropriate locations.
For wall mounting, see pages 53 and 55.
7. Connect your PC LAN Port to one of the LAN Ports on the front of an IP Office base
module using a LAN Cable (see page 71).
8. Connect the individual Lump-in-Line PSU to each IP Office module and switch on*.
9. From the Administrator CD (see page 47), install on your PC the software required to
configure and manage your Avaya IP Office (see page 46).
*IMPORTANT: Power on the Expansion Modules first. If the main IP Office Module
does not detect an item at power on, it will never use it. If power is
switched on from a central point for all modules, then, as the main unit is
the slowest to start, this will be taken care of automatically. Proceed to
Basic System Programming on page 46.
