3.5 Installing the Avaya Driver through Designer

Designer has a Driver Configuration Wizard to help you import and configure the Avaya driver configuration file. This file creates and configures the objects and policies needed to make the driver work properly.

  1. In Designer, right-click the driver set where you plan to install and configure the Avaya driver, then select New > Driver.

  2. In the Connecting to Application window, select the AvayaPBXShip-IDM3_5_0-V2.xml file, select Perform required prompt checking, then click Run.

  3. Specify values for the following parameters:

    Polling Method:

    Select the method the driver should use to poll for changes. By Interval means the driver polls at a given interval specified in minutes. By Time means the driver polls only at a specified time. You can choose to do both.

    Driver is Local/Remote

    Configure the driver for use with the Remote Loader service by selecting the Remote option, or select Local to configure the driver for local use. If Local is selected, you can skip the remaining parameters.

    Specify the container where work order objects will be placed in the directory. For example: ou=WorkOrders.o=MyOrganization.

    Users Container:

    Specify the container that will hold the User objects in the directory. For example: ou=Users.o=MyOrganization.

    PBX Name:

    Specify the name of the PBX site object. This will be the same name you use for the creation of the PBX site object in the directory. For example: [ProvoPBX]

    Driver will Manage Avaya Extensions:

    Select whether this driver will be managing Avaya Extensions. The default is Yes.

    Driver will Manage Audix Subscribers:

    LDAP Host Port Number:

    Specify the LDAP host port number to be used in emulation mode, for example: [389].

    LDAP Host User DN:

    Specify the LDAP host users DN used for authentication to the emulation LDAP system, for example: [cn=Admin,o=Org].

    LDAP Host Password:

    Specify the LDAP host users password to be used in emulation mode, for example: [Novell]. Confirm the password.

    The additional driver parameters are set to default values during the import process, but they can be modified in iManager (by clicking the Driver Configuration tab on the driver object).
