Avaya Distributed Office
Issue 6 January 2008 31
● Custom — The profile is not a Standard profile and needs to be created.
● None (Default)— The default profile associated with the hardware construct will be
shipped and the provisioning data will be entered when the system is installed.
The deployment of a Distributed Office system is called "configure-to-order" if the provisioning
profile is standard or custom. The deployment is called "made-to-stock" if the default profile is
shipped. For a configure-to-order deployment, some or all of the customer-specific provisioning
data is loaded onto the Distributed Office platform and all of the system components are
assembled and tested before it is shipped to the customer site. A configure-to-order deployment
minimizes or eliminates the implementation tasks at installation time.
For a made-to-stock deployment, no customer-specific provisioning data is associated with the
Distributed Office system before it is shipped to the customer site. The system components are
shipped separately from one or more distribution points. The made-to-stock platform contains a
default profile that provides a minimal amount of provisioning data that is needed for the
hardware construct.
Provisioning status
The provisioning status of a Distributed Office system when it is shipped to the customer
location is one of the following:
Fully configured. Minimum additions or changes to the provisioning data. Use Local Manager
to check the data.
Partially configured. Some additions or changes to the provisioning data. Use the
Profile-based Setup Assistant to add or change the dynamic portion of the provisioning data.
Configure from scratch. All provisioning data must be entered. Use the Initial Setup Assistant
to make the system operable. Then use Local Manager to enter the provisioning data.
Fully configured systems
For a fully configured system, all of the provisioning data, including location-specific data, has
been obtained from the customer and loaded onto the i40 or i120 Distributed Office module
before shipment to the branch location. At installation, only the hardware assembly and
acceptance testing is required.
Typically, there will be some minor additions or adjustments to the provisioning data. This can
be done either locally, using the Local Manager application, or remotely, using the Distributed
Office Central Manager.
