J179 IP Phone setup

The Avaya J139, J169 & J179 IP Phones are SIP devices!

IP Office settings:

Use the WAN (LAN2) port for IP phones (and SIP trunks).
The WAN port will often be connected to a data switch or router, and the LAN port (LAN1) reserved for admin access.

  1. Enable DHCP, set start address, enable SIP Registrar
  2. Create a new SIP extension, with number and password
  3. Create a new user, and associate with the new extension

IP set configuration files can be served from a specified TFTP/HTTP server, or from the internal Memory Card (default).
If 'Memory Card' (default) is set, but no custom files are provided, configuration is dynamically generated on registration.

Phone settings:

Login is ADMIN, Password is 27238 (CRAFT)

  1. Select IP Configuration ➤ Servers:

    - Enter HTTP Server: 192.168.43.1
    - Ethernet IPv4: Set to DHCP on

  2. Back out and the phone will restart.

    A new phone will have to download firmware updates - DO NOT interrupt this!
    If you see "login", it works. If you see "acquiring service", something is wrong.

  3. Login with the 'Base Extension' and 'Phone Password' (slide 5)

Power Supply:

J179 phones are usually powered by Power Over Ethernet (POE), eg. power is provided through the network cable. When POE is not available, the phone can be powered by a 5VDC, 2 Amp (12W) external power adapter (wall wart), with a round barrel plug. The center pin is positive.

The following order codes are applicable for the J139, J159, J169, & J179 phones;

Note: This is the same power adapter used by the Avaya 1600 series phones.
