Media Server Registration

The telephone contacts the Avaya Media Server and attempts to log in.

All IP telephones except the 4601 display the following prompt for an extension:

The 4601/4601+ IP Telephone indicates the server is waiting for an extension entry by flashing the Message Waiting Indicators 500 milliseconds on, 500 milliseconds off. The Message Waiting indicators are located at the top of the telephone and the Message button LED on the left middle of the faceplate.

1. Enter a new extension, ending with the # button. All telephones except the 4601/4601+ display each digit entered, while the 4601/4601+ provides LED and button-click feedback. To register the telephone without the extension or password (unnamed), press only the # button or make no entry and wait 60 seconds.

NOTE: Unnamed registration is the capability to register a telephone with the call server without entry of an extension or password. Telephones registered unnamed have limited functionality. For more information, see Unnamed Registration.

All IP telephones except the 4601/4601+ display the following prompt for a password:

2. Enter the password, ending with the # button. The 4601/4601+ provides LED and button-click feedback for each digit upon entry. To register the telephone without the extension or password (unnamed), press only the # button or make no entry and wait 60 seconds.

Except for the 4601 and 4601+, the extension is visible as you enter it but the password displays as asterisks. The 4601/4601+ just provides LED and button-click feedback for password entry.

3. If entered, the system determines whether the extension is in use and if the password is valid.
4. Successful completion of this process produces the dial tone.
