Introduction 4

When a 4600 Series IP Telephone is plugged in and powered, it automatically negotiates with its

associated LAN to determine the Ethernet speed. From that point on, the actions taken by the

phone depend in large part on the action taken in the network before the phone is installed, and on

the actions taken, if any, by the installer. This chapter discusses in detail the par ameters and ot her

data the telephone needs to operate and the alternatives for delivering that information to the

telephone, where appropriate. Recommendations and specifications on which alternative(s) to

choose for which parameter(s) are also provided.

The parameters under which the phone needs to operate are summarized as follows:

■Telephone Administration on the Call Server

■IP address management for the telephone

■Tagging Control and VLAN administration for the telephone, if appropriate

■Quality of Service (QOS) administration for the telephone, if appropriate

■Site-specific Option Number (SSON) setting of DHCP servers, if appropriate

■Interface administration for the telephone, if appropriate

■Application-specific administration for the telephone, if appropriate (for example, Directory- or

Web-specific information required for these optional 4630 applications)

The delivery mechanisms are:

■Maintaining the information on the Call Server (for example, the DEFINITY®/MultiVantageTM

switch)

■Manually entering the information via the telephone dialpad

■Administering the DHCP Server

■Editing the script files on the TFTP Server

These parameters can be administered in a variety of ways, as indicated in Table 4-1, below. Note

that not all parameters can be administered on all delivery mechanisms.
