Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide The conference phone supports three accounts. The secondary and fallback accounts are automatically used if the phone fails to register to the main account. If the phone fails to register to the secondary and the fallback accounts, it tries to use the main account again. Main account, Secondary account, and Fallback account Enable account It is possible to store account information for future use, but temporarily disable it.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide possible to replace the IP address in the SIP requests with the address shown on the other side of the firewall. Note that in some cases NAT traversal is not necessary. Some public service providers of IP telephony keep track of the actual IP address used to register a phone, and the one used in the SIP requests from the same phone, and then replaces the addresses in the SIP messages.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide Advanced Enable SIP Replaces Default is Yes. Setting this option to No, will instruct the PBX not to use the SIP replace header. Some PBXes try to take over the bridging functionality from Avaya B179 using this command, which causes the calls to interrupt. Enable Blind Transfer Default is Yes.

Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide Internet communication. TCP keeps track of all individual packets of data, ensuring that they reach the receiver and are put together properly. TCP is not the default protocol for SIP, because it is slower and uses more bandwidth than UDP. With UDP and TCP, SIP packets travel in plain text. TLS (Transport Layer Security) is a cryptographic protocol that provides security and data integrity for communications over TCP/IP networks.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide Require client certificate When set to On, the Avaya B179 rejects incoming secure SIP connections (TLS or SIPS) if the client does not have a valid certificate. Verify server When the Avaya B179 is acting as a client (outgoing connections) using secure SIP (TLS or SIPS) it will always receive a certificate from the peer. If Verify server is set to On, the Avaya B179 closes the connection if the server certificate is not valid.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide Network Select Settings > Network.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used by network devices (clients) to obtain the parameters necessary for operation in the IP network. This protocol reduces system administration workload, allowing devices to be added to the network with little or no manual configuration. DHCP should be set to On if no other information is given. When set to On, all information on this page will be set automatically.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone On phone: Installation and Administration Guide > SETTINGS > ADVANCED > (PIN) > NETWORK > ETHERNET > VLAN (6,2,2,2,1). 802.1x IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for port-based Network Access Control and is part of the IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing to attach to a LAN or WLAN. Enable 802.1x By enabling this option, Avaya B179 asks an authentication server for permission when connected to the LAN.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide Media Select Settings > Media. The media settings determine how audio is sent between the devices. The devices negotiate via SIP before a call is connected. All devices must support the same media types, codecs and security settings.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide Codec Codecs are used to convert an analog voice signal to a digitally encoded version and vice versa. Codecs vary in the sound quality they deliver and the bandwidth required. The Avaya B179 supports the most common codecs and each codec can be given a precedence depending on your requirements for high quality audio or low bandwidth use. The priority can be set to from 4 (high) to 1 (low) or 0 (disabled) G722 G.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide SRTP If set to disabled, the media is sent using RTP. Note that despite this setting, the Avaya B179 will still use a secure channel if the opposite device demands it. If set to optional or mandatory, a padlock will be shown in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. If the other devices support SRTP, the padlock will be locked. Otherwise, an open padlock will be displayed.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide RFC 2833 is a method of carrying DTMF signals in RTP packets using a separate RTP payload format. With this method a PSTN gateway reproduces the DTMF tones sent from the end device. With SIP Info the DTMF signals are sent as SIP requests. The SIP switch creates the tones if the call is transferred to the PSTN. Use RFC 2833 or SIP Info as preferred methods.
Avaya B179 SIP Conference Phone Installation and Administration Guide LDAP Select Settings > LDAP. Avaya B179 has support for an external phone book, which means it can communicate with a directory server using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).
