Introduction 3

The 4600 Series IP Telephones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet line interfaces.

The IP telephones supplement the existing DEFINITY®/MultiVantageTM IP Solutions platform. This

feature provides the user with the capability to natively administer and maintain the new 4600

Series IP Telephones.

The 4600 Series IP Telephones provide support for DHCP and TFTP over IPv4/UDP which

enhance the administration and servicing of the phones. These phones use DHCP to obtain

dynamic IP addresses and TFTP to download new versions of software for the phones.

The 4600 Series IP Telephones provide the ability to have one connection on the desktop for both

the telephone set and the PC using the telephone’s built-in hub.

Hardware Requirements 3

Before plugging in the 4600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all of the following requirements have

been met. Failure to do so will prevent the telephone from working and may have a negative

impact on your network.

The following hardware is required for 4600 Series IP Telephones to work properly.
