I hope this helps someone.

Hey, thanks a lot for writing that up! It’s great to hear about different systems that people are using it with, and instructions are even better. I think we might work this into a KB article or into the user manual as well. :thumb_left:

Regards,

Any idea what the SIP name would be if using Call Manager instead of Avaya? I wish someone would write up a document like this based on Cisco Call Manager.

Just an information for all newer Avaya IPOffice users who are wondering why nothing is working.

The Ignition VOIP module is on an Avaya Default SIP blocklist. You have to "allow all" sip user agents or you have to remove the library from the default blocklist.

Allow all agents:

Edit block-/whitelist:

Thank me later.
