Deployment
To deploy a FortiVoice LSG unit in a branch office, review the tasks and perform the procedures in the following workflow:
|
To connect the phones to the network, make sure to follow the workflow in this section. With this workflow, the phones are assigned the correct configuration from the main office system. If you connect the phones too early in the workflow, then you will need to restore the phones to their factory default settings to remove the unassigned phone configuration that was retrieved from the branch office system. |
|
Before starting procedures in this guide, make sure to complete the basic setup of the primary and secondary FortiVoice phone systems and connect to the web-based manager of both systems. For more details, see the FortiVoice Phone System Administration Guide. |
