2. Equipment and Software Validated The following equipment and software/firmware were used for the sample configuration provided.
Step 1. Description Create a station on Avaya Communication Manager to be used by Avaya one-X Mobile. To do this, use the add station n command, where n is an unused extension to be added. Set the Type field to 4620. Enter an X in the Port field. This indicates a station is being added without identifying a physical port for the station to use. Enter a descriptive name in the Name field. The default values may be retained for all other fields.
Step 3. Description On Page 3, under BUTTON ASSIGNMENTS enter the number of call-appr buttons that match the number of call appearances supported by Avaya one-X Mobile. In addition, some features require the configuration of feature buttons for the feature to function.

Configuration set 1 contains the default values.
4. Configure Avaya SES This section covers the configuration of Avaya SES. Avaya SES is configured via an Internet browser using the administration web interface. It is assumed that the Avaya SES software and the license file have already been installed on the server. During the software installation, an installation script is run from the Linux shell of the server to specify the IP network properties of the server along with other parameters.
Step 2. Description The Avaya SES Top page will be displayed as shown below. If any changes are made within Avaya SES, an Update link appears in the bottom of the blue navigation bar on the left side of the Avaya SES administration pages. It is necessary to click this link to commit the pending changes to the database. 3. As part of the Avaya SES installation and initial configuration procedures, the following parameters were defined.
Step 4. Description A user must be added on Avaya SES for Avaya one-X Mobile. From the left pane, navigate to Users Æ Add. Enter the values as shown below. Primary Handle: Enter the extension for this user. This should match the Phone Number shown used in the PVFMC mapping in Section 3, Step 4. Password: Enter a valid password for logging into the SIP endpoint. Confirm Password: Re-enter the password. Host: Select the Avaya SES server address from the pull-down menu.
Step 5. Description The Add Media Server Extension page will appear. In the Extension field, enter the same extension used in the previous step. In the Media Server field, select from the pull-down menu the name of the media server mentioned in Step 3. Click the Add button to complete the operation.

5. Configure Avaya AP-8 This section covers the configuration of the Avaya AP-8 wireless access point. It assumes the Avaya AP-8 has been initially configured with and IP address using the ScanTool utility. After which, the Avaya AP-8 is configured via an Internet browser. For details on the use of the ScanTool utility, see [8]. Step 1. Description Access the Avaya AP-8 web interface by entering http://ip-addr as the URL in an Internet browser, where ip-addr is the IP address of the Avaya AP-8.
Step 2. Description The initial network settings can be viewed by clicking the Configure button in the left pane, followed by selecting the Network tab, followed by selected the IP Configuration tab.

Step 3. Description The Avaya AP-8 can support two wireless networks: Wireless A (802.11a) or Wireless B (802.11bg). Avaya one-X Mobile will use the Wireless B network. A Network Name or SSID must be defined for this network. To do this, select the Configure button in the left pane. Navigate to the InterfacesÆWireless-B tab. Enter a text string in the Network Name (SSID) field. Default values can be used for all other fields. 6.
. Step 1. Description Configure a WLAN access point profile on the Nokia phone. To create and configure a new profile perform the following: Press the Menu button. Navigate to ToolsÆSettingsÆConnectionÆAccess Points. Select the Options soft button and navigate to New access pointÆUse default settings. The example below shows the WLAN access point profile settings used for testing. Default values can be used for all other fields.
Step 3. Description Create and download an Avaya one-X Mobile configuration file with the name settings.1me. This file contains parameters relating to the dialing plan, SIP profile and feature name extensions (FNEs) that are mapped to Avaya one-X Mobile feature menus. The file is downloaded to the Nokia phone using the Nokia PC Suite software. For more details on file syntax, available parameters, and download procedures, see [7]. The complete configuration file used for testing is shown in Appendix A.
Step 4. Description If the SIP profile was not defined in the settings.1me file, then it can be defined using the following procedure. The SIP profile must be created from within Avaya one-X Mobile and not through the Nokia device settings. Avaya one-X Mobile is not aware of profiles created directly via the Nokia ToolsÆSettings menus. To create a SIP profile from the Avaya one-X Mobile menus: Start Avaya one-X Mobile. Click the Menu soft button.
Step 5. Description Configure an Internet telephone settings profile on the Nokia phone. To create and configure a new profile perform the following: Press the Menu button. Navigate to ToolsÆSettingsÆConnectionÆInternet tel. settings. Select the Options soft button and navigate to New profile. The example below shows the Internet telephone settings used for testing. Name: Internet1 This name will appear in the list of Internet telephone settings profiles to identify the profile.
7. Verification Steps The following steps may be used to verify the configuration. Step 1. 2. Description Verify that the Avaya one-X Mobile had acquired the wireless access point. This is indicated by an icon in the upper right corner of the display comprised of four connected squares. If the squares are filled in (solid), then the device has locked on to the access point. If the squares are not filled in (open), then the device is not locked on.
that the device is using the correct settings from any recent changes. It has also been observed that it may take a couple of minutes before the Avaya one-X Mobile locks on to the access point. If the Avaya one-X Mobile does not register with the Avaya SES, verify the SIP settings on the Avaya one-X Mobile (Section 6, Step 3 or 4) with the corresponding settings on the Avaya SES. In particular, verify the Proxy server address, Registrar serv. addr., Realm, User name and Password.
