Administration Overview and Requirements

Step 3: Telephone to DHCP Server

The DHCP server provides information to the telephone, as described in DHCP and File Servers on page 53. Among other data passed to the telephone is the IP Address of the HTTP or HTTPS server.

Step 4: Telephone and File Server

The 9600 Series IP Telephones can download script files, binary files, certificates, language files, and settings files from either an HTTP or HTTPS server. The telephone queries the file server, which transmits a script file to the telephone. This script file, at a minimum, tells the telephone which binary file the telephone must use. The binary file is the software that has the telephony functionality.

The telephone uses the script file to determine if it has the proper binary file. If the telephone determines the proper binary file is missing, the telephone requests an binary file download from the file server. The file server then downloads the file and conducts some checks to ensure that the file was downloaded properly. If the telephone determines it already has the proper file, the telephone proceeds as described in the next paragraph without downloading the binary file again.

The telephone checks and loads the binary file, then uses the script file to look for a settings file, if appropriate. The optional settings file can contain settings you have administered for any or all of the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones in your network. For more information about this download process and settings file, see Chapter 7: Telephone Software and Binary Files.

Step 5: Telephone and the SES Server

In this step, the telephone might prompt the user for an extension and password. The telephone uses that information to exchange a series of messages with SES, which in turn communicates with Avaya Communication Manager (CM). For a new installation and for full service, the user can enter the telephone extension and the SES password. For a restart of an existing installation, this information is already stored on the telephone, but the user might have to confirm the information. The telephone and SES and SES and CM exchange more messaging. The expected result is that the telephone is appropriately registered and CM call server data such as feature button assignments are downloaded.
