Chapter 8: Administering Telephone Options
Administering Options for Avaya Agent Deskphone 16CC
Telephones
This chapter explains how to change parameters by means of the DHCP or HTTP servers. In all
cases, you are setting a system parameter in the telephone to a desired value. Table 9
lists:
● the parameter names,
● their default values,
● the valid ranges for those values, and
● a description of each one.
For DHCP, the DHCP Option sets these parameters to the desired values as discussed in
DHCP and File Servers
on page 49. For HTTP, the parameters in Table 9 are set to desired
values in the script file. For more information, see C
ontents of the Settings File on page 66.
Avaya recommends that you administer options using script files. Some DHCP applications
have limits on the amount of user-specified information. The administration required can exceed
those limits for the more full-featured telephone models.
You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from
the dialpad. You can set the system value, PROCPSWD, as part of standard DHCP/HTTP
administration. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, a user cannot invoke any
local options without first entering the PROCPSWD value on the Craft Access Code Entry
screen. For more information on craft options, see the Avaya Agent Deskphone 16CC
Installation and Maintenance Guide.
!
Important:
Important: PROCPSWD is likely stored on the server “in the clear” and is sent to the
telephone in the clear. Therefore, do not consider PROCPSWD as a
high-security technique to inhibit a sophisticated user from obtaining access to
local procedures.
Administering PROCPSWD limits access to all local procedures, including
VIEW. VIEW is a read-only Craft option that allows review of the current
telephone settings.
