Overview
This guide covers how to use your new 4601 IP Telephone. The 4601 is simple to use while
offering some of the latest advances in telephony systems. IP (Internet Protocol) telephones
obtain their operational characteristics from your central telephone server rather than residing in
the phone unit itself. Updates and new functionality are downloaded to your phone without
intervention or the need for phone replacement. Although the 4601 is a basic IP telephone
model, it shares many characteristics with higher-end IP telephones, including ease of
operation for its users.
This guide contains three chapters, geared to how you actually use the phone. It covers the
buttons and features on the phone itself, making and receiving calls, getting your voice mail
messages, and phone tests/troubleshooting you can perform to ensure your 4601 IP Telephone
is operating properly.
