Updating your Avaya Softphone

Due to important security and feature updates that have been activated in the telephone system at short notice, users of the Avaya softphone Avaya Workplace are required to update and re-register with the telephone system. To do this, follow one of the following instructions, depending on your operating system.

 

1. Launch the Avaya Workplace Client or the Avaya Workplace App.

2. Click on the gear icon.

3. Navigate to "Dienste".

4. Select "Automatische Einrichtung".

5. Start the change with "Automatische Konfiguration aktualisieren".

Contacts in address books

Please note that when maintaining contacts in your address book (e.g. Outlook or smartphone), you must always save phone numbers in international format (preceded by +49 xxxx xxxxx). This is recommended anyway, so that the phone numbers can be dialed correctly when abroad.
