Avaya Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes for Telcomp PickUpIp and Avaya IP Office - Issue 1.0 Abstract These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required for Telcomp PickUpIp to successfully interoperate with the Avaya IP Office. Telcomp PickUpIp provides CallerID number information via a single-line screen pop and/or a multi-line menu capability from the Avaya IP Office to a single computer, or to a network of computers. Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through compliance testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DeveloperConnection Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

Introduction These Application Notes describe the compliance-tested configuration of Avaya IP Office and Telcomp PickUpIp. PickUpIp is a client/server middleware application that provides CallerID number information via a single-line screen pop and/or a multi-line display capability from IP Office to a single computer, or a network of computers. Telcomp’s software solution for Avaya IP Office consists of the following application components: PickUpIp – CallerID IP Server for IP Office TcIpOff – IP Office / Partner Translator for IP Office Pickup – CallerID client The Telcomp TcIpOff application interfaces with the Avaya IP Office through the DevLink interface. TAPI 3rd party call control has not been implemented for this solution. TcIpOff translates the DevLink stream it receives into a format supported by Telcomp PickUpIp. The PickUpIp server receives CallerID number information for incoming calls from the DevLink stream translated by TcIpOff and then broadcasts the information over the network to its clients (called Pickup). The PickUpIp server and Pickup clients can display incoming CallerID number information on-screen using a single-line screen pop and/or a multi-line menu window. If CallerID number information is not available, Telcomp PickUpIp identifies the incoming call number as Unknown. The PickUpIp server and Pickup clients can also be configured to simulate keystrokes in order to deliver incoming CallerID number information to other applications running on the PC. The tested configuration is shown in Figure 1. SCR; Reviewed: Solution & Interoperability Test Lab Application Notes 2 of 14 SPOC 2/20/2006 ©2006 Avaya Inc.

Install Avaya DevLink DLL on Telcomp server Step Description 1. Log into the Telcomp server with administrative privileges and launch the Avaya IP Office User Suite setup.exe in the CDROM drive. 2. Click Next in the InstallShield Wizard until the Select Components window appears. Check DEV Link to install the IP Office DevLink on the Telcomp server. 3. Click Next to complete the installation of the Avaya IP Office User Suite. At the InstallShield Wizard Complete window, click Finish. 4. To verify installation of the DEV Link DLL, initiate a search for the file devlink.dll on the Telcomp server. A copy of the file should have been created in a subfolder of the directory designated for the installation of the Avaya IP Office User Suite such as C:\Program Files\Avaya\IP Office\DEV Link.

Log into the Telcomp server with administrative privileges and go to Start → Programs → Telcomp → TcIpOff to launch the application. 2. In the TcIpOff window that appears, note Current State near the bottom of the window displays PBX: is Down which means TcIpOff has not established a connection to the Avaya IP Office and PickUpIp closed which means TcIpOff and PickUpIp have not yet established a connection. 3. In the TcIpOff window, set PBX IpAddress to the IP address of the Avaya IP Office such as 192.45.70.194, PBX Password to the password used to log into the Avaya IP Office and click OK. The TcIpOff window minimizes to the Windows system tray. 4. To verify TcIpOff established communication with the Avaya IP Office, click the TcIpOff icon on the Windows system tray. When the TcIpOff window appears, verify PBX: Up appears in Current state. Click OK to minimize the window. 5. This completes the configuration necessary to establish a DevLink connection between the Avaya IP Office and Telcomp TcIpOff.

In the PickUpIp Options window that appears, set OEM Ip Address to the IP address of the Telcomp PickUpIp server, e.g., 192.45.70.46 and click OK. By default, PickUpIp is configured to monitor the first four lines on the Avaya IP Office. Please refer to the Telcomp Help file for information on how to adjust the lines to be monitored. NOTE: Popup Timeout value was modified from 0 to 10 (screen pop generated by PickUpIp will pause 10 seconds before minimizing), Error Timeout was changed from 0 to 30 (PickUpIp will wait 30 seconds before timing out any error message popups) and Station was set to 4003 (PickUpIp will generate a screen pop for inbound trunk calls answered at extension 4003). These changes were done in the course of setting up the application for use during compliance testing and are not required for interoperability between the Telcomp software and Avaya IP Office. Please refer to the Telcomp Help file for a detailed description of these fields and their use. 7. This completes configuration of the PickUpIp server to establish a connection with TcIpOff. Verify installation 8. PickUpIp is configured to display all inbound calls to monitored lines in the PickUpIp Line Menu window along with the inbound CallerID number.
