Network Requirements

Server Requirements

Two server types can be configured for the 1600 Series IP Telephones:

DHCP

HTTP or HTTPS

Note:

HTTPS does not provide all of the functionality of HTTP. For example, backup/ restore is unavailable via HTTPS, and firmware cannot be downloaded via

HTTPS.

While the servers listed provide different functions that relate to the 1600 Series IP Telephones, they are not necessarily different boxes. For example, DHCP provides file management whereas HTTP provides application management, yet both functions can co-exist on one hardware unit. Any standards-based server is recommended.

For parameters related to Avaya Media Server information, see Chapter 4: Avaya Aura Communication Manager Administration, and the administration documentation for your call server. For parameters related to DHCP and file servers, see Chapter 5: Server Administration.

! CAUTION:

The telephones obtain important information from the script files on the file server and depend on the application file for software upgrades. If the DHCP file server is unavailable when the telephones reset, the telephones register with the media server and operate. Some features might not be available. To restore them you need to reset the telephone(s) when the file server is available.

DHCP Server

Avaya recommends that a DHCP server and application be installed and that static addressing be avoided. Install the DHCP server and application as described in DHCP and File Servers on page 43.

HTTP/HTTPS Server

Administer the HTTP or HTTPS file server and application as described in HTTP Generic Setup on page 55.
