Verify the installation and configuration

Because the following instructions are applicable to both Cisco Blast IP phones and Avaya IP phones, the generic term 
IP Phone
 is used.
After installing and configuring the IP Phone Display gateway in 
BlackBerry AtHoc
, you should verify that everything is working correctly by completing the following steps:
  1. Log in to the 
    BlackBerry AtHoc
     management system.
  2. In the navigation bar, click 
    Alerts
     > 
    New Alert
    .
  3. Click 
    Create a Blank Alert
    .
  4. On the 
    New Alert
     screen, complete the 
    Content
     section, making sure to include an alert title and some text in the alert body field.
  5. In the 
    Target Users
     section, click each tab to select the targeting criteria you want to use for the alert: By Groups, By Users, By Location, or By Advanced Query.
  6. Click the 
    Select Personal Devices
     tab.
  7. Select the 
    IP Phone Display
     check box.
  8. In the 
    Personal Devices
     section, click 
    Options
    .
  9. On the 
    Personal Devices Options
     screen, click the 
    IP Phone Display
     tab.
  10. In the 
    Alert Image
     field, select the 
    Image
     option and then choose an image from the list. Because this is only a verification test, it does not matter which image you select.
  11. In the 
    Ringtone
     field, select the 
    Use Ringtone
     option and then select one of the ringtone options from the list. Because this is only a verification test, it does not matter which ringtone you select.
  12. In the 
    Audio Broadcast
     field, select 
    Alert - Title and Body
    .
  13. Optionally, if you want to check that the rebroadcast feature is configured correctly, select the 
    Replay audio broadcast message
     and then enter the number of times you want the alert to be replayed.
  14. Click 
    Apply
    .
  15. When you have finished creating the alert, click 
    Publish
    .
  16. When the alert appears on your IP phone, verify that it displays the image you selected in Step 10, plays the ringtone you selected in Step 11, and broadcasts the alert title and body text you entered in Step 4.
  17. If you selected the 
    Replay audio broadcast message
     check box in Step 13, verify that the alert plays the number of times that you specified.
