22 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Administrator Guide
Server Requirements
Two server types can be configured for the 1600 Series IP Telephones:
●DHCP
●HTTP or HTTPS
Note:
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:
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 Serverson
page 43.

HTTP/HTTPS Server

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