About This Guide
This guide is for personnel who administer Avaya Aura™ Communication Manager, Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch (formerly known as Avaya Distributed Office), DHCP, HTTP/ HTTPS servers for Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones, a Local Area Network (LAN), or a Web server.
The 1600 Series IP Telephones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet line interfaces and support the H.323 protocol only. The 1600 Series IP Telephones provide support for DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS over IPv4/UDP, which enhance the administration and servicing of the telephones. These telephones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP Addresses, and HTTPS or HTTP to download new versions of software or customized settings for the telephones.

CAUTION:
Avaya does not support many of the products mentioned in this document. Take care to ensure that there is adequate technical support available for servers used with any 1600 Series IP Telephone system. If the servers are not functioning correctly, the 1600 Series IP Telephones might not operate correctly.
