ASTA-3000 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    Q1

    A support engineer is analyzing a SIP trunk issue where calls are failing to establish. The System Status Application (SSA) shows the trunk is in service, but outgoing calls receive a '403 Forbidden' response. The provider requires the 'Diversion' header to be present for forwarded calls to authenticate correctly.

    Which specific setting in the SIP Line >> SIP Advanced tab must be configured to ensure the original calling party's number is preserved and presented correctly in the SIP headers without violating the provider's authentication rules?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    To support forwarded calls where the provider authenticates based on the trunk number but needs the original caller ID for display or billing, the Diversion header is used. This allows the 'From' header to match the authenticated trunk pilot number (preventing 403 Forbidden) while the 'Diversion' header carries the original caller's information.

  2. Question 2

    Q2

    While investigating a reported issue where external callers hear dead air instead of the auto-attendant, a technician reviews the System Status Application (SSA). The system is an IP500 V2A with an Essential Edition license. The SSA shows that all virtual voicemail channels are currently 'In Use'.

    What is the maximum number of simultaneous Voicemail channels supported on this specific hardware and license combination without additional dedicated hardware?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    On an IP500 V2/V2A running Essential Edition (which uses Embedded Voicemail), the system supports a base of 2 voicemail channels. To increase this capacity (up to 4 or 6), additional licenses are required. The symptom of 'dead air' often indicates all available voicemail ports are consumed.

  3. Question 3

    Q3

    A customer reports that users in the 'Sales' Hunt Group are missing calls because the phones ring for too long before moving to the next available agent. The administrator needs to adjust the time a call rings at an idle member before moving to the next member in the list.

    Which specific timer in the Hunt Group configuration controls this behavior?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: A

    The 'No Answer Time' setting in the Hunt Group tab defines how long a call rings at an available member's extension before it is presented to the next member in the sequence (for Sequential or Rotary groups).

  4. Question 4

    Q4

    During a troubleshooting session for poor voice quality on a Server Edition deployment, the support engineer observes high jitter values in the System Status Application (SSA). The network team requests the specific DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point) values being used for audio and signaling traffic.

    By default, which decimal DSCP values does the IP Office assign to RTP (Audio) and SIP (Signaling) traffic respectively?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    By default, Avaya IP Office marks RTP audio traffic with DSCP 46 (Expedited Forwarding - EF) to ensure low latency and marks SIP signaling traffic with DSCP 26 (AF31) to ensure reliable delivery.

  5. Question 5

    Q5

    A Voicemail Pro administrator is designing a call flow that requires checking if the caller is calling during business hours, which are defined differently for weekdays and weekends.

    Which Voicemail Pro action is specifically designed to route calls based on the active status of a Time Profile defined in the IP Office configuration?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: D

    The 'Test Service Profile' action in Voicemail Pro allows the call flow to check the status of a specific Time Profile configured in the IP Office. It provides True/False outputs based on whether the profile is currently active.

  6. Question 6

    Q6

    While monitoring an IP Office system using the System Status Application (SSA), a technician notices an alarm stating 'VCM Resources Full'. Users are reporting that they cannot make external calls or use conference features intermittently.

    Which of the following scenarios is the most likely cause of this resource exhaustion?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    VCM (Voice Compression Module) channels are required for transcoding between IP-based audio (SIP/H.323) and TDM-based audio (Analog/Digital phones or PRI/Analog trunks). If there are many SIP calls connecting to non-IP endpoints, VCM channels can be depleted, triggering the alarm.

  7. Question 7

    Q7

    A technician is configuring a new SIP trunk and needs to ensure that emergency calls (911/999) always use a specific outgoing CLI, regardless of which user places the call.

    Where should this CLI be configured to override all other user-specific settings for emergency short codes?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    In an ARS (Alternate Route Selection) short code, appending 'S' followed by the desired CLI (e.g., 911S1234567890) to the Telephone Number field forces that specific CLI to be sent for that route, overriding individual user CLI settings. This is standard practice for emergency routing.

  8. Question 8

    Q8

    An IP Office system is rebooting unexpectedly. The support engineer wants to capture the specific cause of the reboot for analysis.

    Which type of file on the System SD card contains the binary dump of the system state at the time of the crash, and in which folder is it located?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: C

    When an IP Office system crashes, it writes a memory dump file to the /system/primary folder on the SD card. These files are typically named with the hex address of the exception (e.g., .dmp files). Analyzing these requires Avaya engineering tools, but locating them confirms a software crash occurred.

  9. Question 9

    Q9

    A multi-site company has a Server Edition Primary and a Secondary server. The administrator wants to ensure that if the Primary server fails, the IP phones at the Primary site automatically register to the Secondary server.

    Which configuration field in the IP Office Manager for the Primary server's lines or extensions is critical for enabling this failover capability?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: D

    For IP phones to failover in a Server Edition environment, the system must be aware of the backup server. This is handled via the 'Resiliency' configuration where the Secondary server is defined as the backup. The phones receive this list during registration. (Note: While 'Backup Registrar' is a field, in Server Edition, this is automated via the Solution settings/Resiliency options in the System configuration).

  10. Question 10

    Q10

    An administrator is setting up a new user who needs to manage their own personal greetings and call forwarding settings via a web browser. The system is an IP Office 500 V2.

    Which specific user right or license must be assigned to this user to allow access to the 'one-X Portal for IP Office'?

    Show answer & explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Access to one-X Portal is not included in the Basic User profile. It requires an Office Worker, Teleworker, or Power User license/profile to be assigned to the extension.
