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".
