AVAYA IP Office packet tracing general info

AVAYA IP Office is a very good PBX available. I like it very much but the problem I met to is missing the Phone Manager application for my linux desktop.

There is no official documentation about the protocols AVAYA IP Office so I ran sniffer and after some hours got a brief understanding
of how this stuff works.

WARNING: I could understand only 10% of traffic between PhoneManager and base unit! I don't know what the data at the unknown fields does! Run it at your own risk and backup often.

If you need beautiful and stable program, run Phonemanager.exe under Wine. I used it for a long time but it slows down my machine up to 1/3
and it is closed source :-)

All the programs uses the phoneavay.ini file, where user name and password should be valid. You should change them at first.

Two programs available at the moment:

  • dial.pl - performs search at userlist and dials the phone number
  • sniff_replies.pl - establesh connection with IPO and then dumps the status of phone

You can use any of them absolutely free.

One file I used to sniff the traffic, and it is for developers only:
