4. Configure terminal profile in CS
2100
Enter the management console of the SSL application
on the CS 2100 by using web browser and going to:
http://<ip-address>:12120
Click the link for the MCP Management Console
Java will launch and connect to the server and login.
Proceed to open the “Network Data and Mtc” group in
the left menu
Open the “SIP Profiles” sub-menu
Open “SIP Profiles”
Hit the “+” symbol to add a profile to the system
Choose the “Default” as the template to be copied
Once open create a profile named “AvayaB179” as
shown in figure 3 adjacent.
Creation of a profile will prevent the system from
going into alarm when the phone registers for the first
time. This alarm is not a fault alarm, it is informational

profile registered to the system.
Once complete click “Apply” and profile is available
on the system.
