[asterisk-users] Avaya 9608G and DHCP and TFTP and HTTP oh my

Right-- I've seen the Avaya document you cite below. It says "To
administer DHCP option 242, make a copy of an existing option 176" but I
don't have any example of option 176 or 242 to copy, and don't know what
to do to /etc/dhcpd.conf to make it offer option 242.

Then there's this long table of parameters to use with (presumably) option
242.

I was hoping someone had a working minimal example of a dhcp option 242 config I
could copy and modify.

They only have minimal function? No speed dials, BLFs, etc?

So you might want to start without configurations from DHCP. Enter the file/http
server in the phone manually and point it to a http server containing the needed
firmware files and a correct 46xxsettings.txt for you asterisk.

Avaya uses other dhcp options for these phone (242):
https://downloads.avaya.com/elmodocs2/one-X_Deskphone_Edition/R1.5/output/16_300698_4/admn054.html

BTW these phones are a terrible waste when used with Asterisk. They only
provided minimal functionality (calls and transfer).

Example for our old IP Office (192.168.250.1)  setup:
===========================================option option-242 code 242 = string;

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
   #option option-242 "L2Q=1,L2QVLAN=4";
   #option option-242 "HTTPSRVR=10.1.2.3/files";
   option option-242
"MCIPADD=192.168.250.1,MCPORT=1719,HTTPSRVR=192.168.250.1";
}
===========================================
My guess is you only need HTTPSRVR=hostname/path 
This should point to a dir where a 46xxsettings.txt exists.
Must contain something like:

===========================================SET SIPPROXYSRVR 172.16.0.2
SET SIPPORT      5060
SET SIPDOMAIN 172.16.0.2
SET SIPREGISTRAR 172.16.0.2
SET SIP_CONTROLLER_LIST 172.16.0.2:5060;transport=tcp 
SET ENABLE_AVAYA_ENVIRONMENT 0 
SET CONFIG_SERVER_SECURE_MODE 0
SET SIPSIGNAL 0
SET REGISTERWAIT 900

SET CLDISPCONTENT 0
SET DISPLAY_NAME_NUMBER 3

SET DIALPLAN 2xx|0[1-7]xxxxxxxx|08[458]xxxxxxx
SET PHNNUMOFSA 2
SET GMTOFFSET 1:00
SET DSTOFFSET 1
SET DSTSTART LSunMar2L
SET DSTSTOP LSunOct2L

SET BRANDING_VOLUME 1
SET AGCHAND 0
SET AGCHEAD 0
SET AGCSPKR 0
SET DATETIMEFORMAT 2
SET TIMEFORMAT 1
SET SNTPSRVR 109.235.32.103,109.235.32.119
SET ENTRYNAME 0

SET PHNOL
===========================================

Not as fas as I know. I configured this in 2013 and at that time only
call/transfer and conference worked.

[asterisk-users] Avaya 9608G and DHCP and TFTP and HTTP oh my

Ok, to review,  I'm trying to get Avaya 9608G to come up in a pure Asterisk
environment-- no Avaya SBC or gateway or any other Avaya gear in sight.

I have the phone working to the point where it boots up properly, then displays
a Username and Password prompt, and says its extension is 123 and the time is
4:57p, which is wrong.

But please don't tell me the only way to program up each phone is via the
craft interface?

Every other phone I've ever used requires a configuration file, which has
the MAC address of the phone as its name. The Avaya phones must have some other
method. Unless I have to embed the mac address and particulars for all the
phones into the 46xxsettings.txt file??

How do I get the phone number and authentication into the phone if it isn't
looking for (for example) 50CD22B47C00.cfg or the like?? These are all the files
it attempt to read, from /var/log/httpd/access.log:

10.1.138.245 - - [06/Mar/2018:10:19:09 -0600] "GET
/voipcfg/96x1Supgrade.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 941 "-" "Mozilla/4.0
(compatible; MSIE 6.0)"
10.1.138.245 - - [06/Mar/2018:10:19:09 -0600] "GET
/voipcfg/46xxsettings.txt HTTP/1.1" 200 421835 "-"
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)"


By the way, I don't know if I shared this already, but here's my DHCP
settings on my network that allowed it to find my asterisk server.

First, outside of any defined scope, declare option 242. This is about line 13
for me, YMMV

option option-242 code 242 = string;

Next, I defined a tiny little scope for Avaya phones:

        pool {
                range dynamic-bootp 10.194.138.241 10.194.138.254;
                deny members of "aastra";
                deny members of "polycom-phones";
                deny members of "cyberdata-paging";
                deny members of "digium-phones";
                deny members of "cisco-spa-phones";
                allow members of "avaya-phones";
                deny members of "sophos";
                #option option-242
"MCIPADD=10.180.202.110,HTTPSRVR=fonia.teste.com.br,L2Q=0,L2QVLAN=0";
                option option-242
"MCIPADD=10.194.141.251,HTTPSRVR=10.194.141.251,HTTPDIR=voipcfg";
              }

Having already created a /voipcfg directory on the web server, the phone now
boots from there and reads 46xxsettings.txt.
