CAUTION:
The S8100 is preconfigured to be a member of a local Workgroup and should not be made
a member of a customer’s Windows domain. If this is done, connectivity with Avaya

done by the S8100. To check for proper workgroup membership, on the S8100 Windows
desktop right-click the My Computer icon (this may have another name if the customer
has changed it) and select Properties. Then choose the Network Identification tab to view
