Converting Software on Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones

Converting 4602+/4610SW/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephones

An H.323 IP telephone can be either in use with possible customized settings or out of the box with factory default settings. An out of the box telephone requires accessing the manual programming mode early in the process and setting the Signaling Protocol Identifier (SIG) parameter to “SIP.” Converting to SIP early avoids having to first load H.323 software, log in, and then invoke the “in use” process to load the SIP software.

Note:

For information about the SIG parameter, see “Choosing the Right Application

File and Upgrade Script File” in the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator

Guide (Document Number 555-233-507). For information on setting or changing the SIG parameter, see Signaling Protocol Identifier on page 77.
