Software Requirements 3

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

■DEFINITY®/MultiVantageTM Release 8.4 or later software, as appropriate. The H.323 and IP

station customer options must be turned on.

■The DHCP server and application should be installed and properly administered, as described

in DHCP on page 4-6.

WARNIN G:

A DHCP server is not mandatory, but static addressing is necessary when a DHCP

server is unavailable.

Due to the difficulties associated with static addressing, it is very strongly recommended

that a DHCP server be installed and that static addressing be avoided.

■The TFTP server and application must be installed and properly administered, as described in

TFTP on page 4-17.

■For 4630 IP Telephone environments, if users are to have access to LDAP directories or

corporate Websites, the appropriate servers must be in place, and the 4630 telephones must

be appropriately administered in accordance with Chapter 4, Server Administration.

Ensure that all required parameters are configured correctly. For DEFINITY/MultiVantage, see

your administration documentation. For the DHCP and TFTP servers, see Chapter 4, Server

Administration.

Figure 3-1 on the following page illustrates a sample configuration using the 4600 Series IP

Telephones.
