Avaya 4600 manual Hardware Requirements

Chapter 3: Requirements

Introduction

The 4600 Series IP Telephones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet line interfaces. The IP telephones supplement the existing Avaya IP Solutions platform. This feature provides the user with the capability to natively administer and maintain new 4600 Series IP Telephones.

The 4600 Series IP Telephones provide support for DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP over IPv4/UDP, which enhance the administration and servicing of the phones. These phones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP addresses and TFTP or HTTP to download new versions of software for the phones.

Using either a built-in hub or a switched port, the 4600 Series IP Telephones offer one desktop connection for both the telephone set and the PC.

Note:

In all cases, references to “Avaya Communication Manager” or “CM” apply only to 4600 Series IP Telephones supporting H.323.

Hardware Requirements

Before plugging in the 4600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all the hardware requirements are met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working and might have a negative impact on your network.

The following hardware is required for 4600 Series IP Telephones supporting H.323 to work properly.

Note:

The recommended configuration is the latest PBX software and the latest IP telephone firmware. In the event your site does not have the latest PBX software, follow the recommendations in the table immediately following.
