DEFINITY® Release 8.4 4

DEFINITY® Release 8.4 supports the 4612 and 4624 IP Telephones. The 4612 and 4624 IP
Telephones are aliased as 6424 telephones, administered as IP Softphones. The administrative
forms for the 6424 IP Softphone are used for the two IP Telephones. See Related Documents, on
page 1-5, particularly the Administration for Network Connectivity and t he Administrator’s Guides.
Follow these guidelines:
Alias the IP Telephone as a 6424D+ DCP set, with the IP Softphone field set to “y.”
Administer a Media Complex Ext for the audio channel.
If a given parameter is administered in multiple places, the last server to pr ovide the
parameter has precedence. The sequence is: manual administration, DHCP, TFTP, and
then the call server. That means, for parameters downloaded by the call server, any
previous settings, including manual settings, are overwritten by the setting th e Avaya IP
Telephone receives from the call server. The only exception to this sequence is in the
case of VLAN IDs. In the case of VLAN IDs, the usual sequence applies through TFTP. If
the VLAN ID after TFTP is non-zero, any VLAN ID from the call server is ignored.
DEFINITY® Release 8.4 is very old and is not recommended.
