DRAFT

Configuring the Tandberg MXP endpoint

The Tandberg endpoints do not support Dynamic Host Conifguration Protocol (DHCP) Option

242. This option is required in a network if there are Avaya 9600 Series Telephones present and

DHCP is utilized. The workaround is to statically configure the H.323 gatekeeper on the

Tandberg endpoints.

You must configure Tandberg endpoints using the Control Panel Menus or the Command Line

Interface (CLI). If you are configuring the H.323 gatekeeper on the Tandberg endpoints, you

must also use the Control Panel Menus or CLI.

In the example in this guide, DHCP is disabled. Information regarding IP addressing was

entered statically using the Control Panel Menus. Static IP addressing simplifies the assignment

of Tandberg endpoints to the correct IP network region. You can access the Control Panel

Menus as follows:

1. On the Tandberg MXP remote control unit, navigate to Network > LAN Settings > IP

Settings and select Static IP Assignment and enter the IP details in the various fields on

the panel.

Note:

Note: On this panel, the IP Access Password field refers to the password used to

access the Tandberg endpoint using the CLI. You can change the IP Access

Password here.

2. Log in to the Tandberg MXP using Secure Shell (SSH) or telnet (IP address) and enter the

following commands. These are the necessary configuration parameters to enable MXP to

● xConfiguration H323Gatekeeper Avaya Mode : On

● xConfiguration H323Gatekeeper Avaya AnnexH : On

● xConfiguration H323Gatekeeper Avaya MultipointCount :4, if multipoint

is 4

● xconfiguration H323Gatekeeper Avaya Password : security code

3. To apply these changes, request a boot.
