Copyright Avaya 2002,2003 All rights reserved Infrared Capabilities of the 4600 IP Telephones With the release of R1.8 software, Avaya's line of IP Telephones provides the following infrared capabilities using your Palm OS based PDA: - vCard Dialing - File Transfer - EMail -- vCard Dialing -- vCard is the name of a standard defined in the versit Consortium Specification. A vCard is an electronic business card such as an Address Book record stored in your Palm PDA. Beaming a vCard to an IP Telephone that is on-hook, will cause it to go off-hook and dial the first telephone number in the vCard. For example, select a person you want to call from the Address Book on a Palm PDA, tap the Menu icon or the Address View title to show the drop-down menu, and select Beam Address. The first telephone number listed in the beamed Address Book record will be dialed. In addition to the digits to dial, the following characters are supported for customizing Avaya IP Telephone dialing: - "s" Speakerphone - "m" Mute - "c" Conference - "h" Hold - "r" Redial - "t" Transfer - "," 2-Second Pause For example, entering the following number as the first number in your Address Book record: m9,555-1212 will cause your Avaya IP Telephone to go off-hook, activate Mute, dial 9 for an outside line (if your PBX is configured this way), pause for two seconds, and then dial 5551212. -- File Transfer -- The IP Telephones enable you to exchange files between your Palm PDAs while on a call. You can exchange an Address Book record, a Date Book entry, a memo, or any other file on your Palm PDA. Simply call an associate in your business and have them point their PDA at their IP Telephone. Now select the file you want to beam, tap the Menu icon or application title to drop-down the menu bar, and select the Beam command. Your file will be transferred to the associates Palm PDA by the IP Telephones. The associates Palm PDA will indicate the file being received, and when complete, prompt the associate to accept the file. -- EMail Support -- With Release 1.8, all Avaya IP Telephones with an infrared interface support the sending of email from a PDA to an SMTP server. To support sending of email, we need to discuss two primary areas: 1) How to specify the SMTP server address? 2) What is the format of an email text file? To specify the SMTP server address, we need to set the SMTPSRVR value to the SMTP server to be used for sending email. The SMTPSRVR value can be set in the TFTP script file, 46xxsettings.txt, to the SMTP server IP address in dotted decimal or DNS name format. For example, if the SMTP server has a DNS name of MySMTPserver and an IP address of 123.4.56.78, we would add one of the following lines to the 46xxsettings.txt file: SET SMTPSRVR 123.4.56.78 or SET SMTPSRVR MySMTPserver As an alternative, you can resolve the IP address of the the default SMTPSRVR DNS name "AvayaSMTPserver". Other DNS names can be used in DHCP Option #176. Remember, DNS names are limited to 32 characters. Note: You must set the SMTPSRVR with the SMTP Server address for IR email to work. DHCP Option #069 is not sufficient. To create an email, we use a simple text editor such as the Memo Pad on a Palm PDA. The format of the email consists of header information and the body of the email as follows: Header: - To: recipient1@domain.com | Cc: recipient2@domain.com | Bcc: recipient3@domain.com | Subject: Avaya Email - Body: - To All Recipients, | This is an email sent from my PDA using the Avaya | IP Telephones! - Some things to note when creating the email are: - Specify only one recipient per line. For example, if you want to send the email to five recipients, you would have five To: lines. - All header fields that begin with "From:", "Resent-From:", "Sender:", "Resent-Sender:", "Reply-To:", and "Resent-Reply-To:" that appear before any line that is not a valid header field, are removed. - All emails have a single source header field inserted with the following format: "From: Telephone extension <ext> infrared port" where <ext> is the extension number of the telphone. - Any combination of the destination header fields, "To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:", can be used. After the email text file is beamed to the IP Telephone, the display will show status messages indicating the progress of sending the email to the SMTP server. If a TCP connection cannot be established to the SMTP server, the message "Cannot contact email server" will be displayed. -- General Issues -- Like all infrared devices, the PDA must be pointing at the infrared port on an IP Telephone. On the IP Telephone, the infrared port is on the very front of the telephone. Do not put objects in front of the port. If you have trouble, experiment with the position of the PDA. Check that the port on the PDA is pointing at the telephone. The way a Palm IIIc is naturally held it's port will be pointing upward, not towards the telephone. -vCard - The exact number in the first telephone number field of the vCard will be dialed. You will have to enter the access codes in your PDA address book exactly as you want to dial them. Beaming a vCard while the IP Telephone is on-hook, will cause it to go off-hook and dial the first telephone number in the vCard. Beaming a vCard while the IP Telephone is off-hook, will attempt to transfer the vCard to the called person. -File Transfer - Both you and your associate will need an Avaya IP Telephone and be on the same LAN. The IP telephone call will need to be connected directly between the telephones. Not all IP calls are directly connected. --Technical Details-- The IP Telephone provides a standard serial infrared interface at speeds between 9.6Kbps and 56.7Kbps [Infrared Data Association Serial Infrared Physical Layer Specification, Version 1.3 (http://www.irda.org)]. IrOBEX version 1.2 is used to exchange objects (http://www.irda.org/standards/specifications.asp). vCard version 2.1 and 3.0 is supported (http://www.imc.org/pdi/). --Administration Details-- The infrared interface can be turned off globally by including the line "SET IRSTAT 0" in the 46xxsettings.txt file or by adding the option "IRSTAT=0" in the DHCP Site Specific Option. The infrared interface can be turned on and off locally by the keypad command <mute>468# "INTerface". Copyright (c) 2002 Avaya, Inc.Download Driver Pack
