General Hardware Overview of the Avaya IP Office 406
Hi, I’m Jessie, today I want to show you a little bit about the 406-control unit for the IP Office. This is our control unit here, this is the 406 V2, the updated version and notice on the right here you have eight LAN ports, this are from connecting to a switch or some other type of device like that on your local area network. The first port is for the programming port. That’s where you normally would program it from and you can add a connect to the switch or to a cross over cable directly to a computer.
Over on the left here you have a contact flash slot, this is for the embedded voicemail. It’s the lower cost voicemail for the IP Office system and then on the left over here you have two phone clerks. These are for analogue extensions and don’t run into the control unit and just to the left of those are eight digital extension ports. Here for connecting 54 hundred or 64 hundred phones, also 44 hundred phones and even 24 hundred phones will work on there. And on the back of our control unit, I’ve seen that over in the right here we have an audio port, this is for your music on hold and you can also have an internal wave file playing from music on hold, so you don’t need the external device if you don’t want it.
You can also six expansion ports on here; you see these are for extension modules like the digital stitch and audio module or trunk module or even an L-line station that you might be able to put on there. In here, we have two slots, these are for analogue trunk card and you can get four analogue ports on card or the PRI card if you do want to do a single dual to your right, it can be that. you notice here’s our analogue card here you know, before we touch this we want to make sure that we’re grounded. You can either get a grounding wrist strap that attaches to a piece of bare metal or you can just touch the metal case of the bare metal case here of your control unit. And of course, you always want to make sure that your power in unplugged from the control unit before you add or remove anything.
So now we can add this into our slot over here, make sure that we have the pins lined up. you want to push the pins in, crooked or anything. Also, we have a voice compression module, the voice compression module would install—there's actually two slots like that on the control unit. Now what this do is this allow you to make phone calls between an IP phone and an analogue or digital phone or an outside line. So for every simultaneous call that you want to have with an IP phone or that type of call, you need to have a channel available on the voice compression module. And you also need any channel available when making calls between IP phones just to get the call started. Once the call is in progress, the channel becomes available for another call.
And also I did want to show you here on the port in the far left here is labeled EXTOP, this is for a door phone control. You can connect to a door phone controller so you can open doors on your location. Now that’s what we have here today, thanks for joining us.
