Before plugging in the 4600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all the following requirements are met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working and can have a negative impact on the network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and IP telephone.
CAUTION: Using IP telephones on R8.4 or R9 requires extreme caution. You would be downgrading the telephones to these very old releases. Downgrading any Avaya IP Telephone other than the 4612 or 4624 to these old releases has not been tested and might damage the telephone. See Downgrading Avaya IP Telephones (H.323 Only) for instructions on how to downgrade the software for Avaya IP Telephones. |

Note: The 4621SW and 4625SW can be aliased as a 4620 on any call server that supports the 4620. In addition, Avaya Communication Manager Release 2.2 provides limited native support for the 4621SW and 4625SW. See the Avaya Communication Manager Release 2.2 administration documentation for more details. Release 1.8 software changed the way the 4630 and 4630SW obtain administered Feature button labels from the Media Server. Therefore, you must have Avaya Communication Manager Release 1.2 for 4630 IP Telephone Release 1.8 to work properly. |

| Requirements to Verify for Each IP Telephone |
|||
|
|
10a. |
You have an extension number and an Avaya Communication Manager security code (password) for each IP telephone. Note: This checklist item applies only to H.323 telephones. However, to allow an H.323 telephone user to sign on to a SIP telephone, you must also establish that person’s User ID and password on the SIP Enablement Services (SES) server. |
|
|
|
10b. |
You have an OPTIM extension number and an Avaya Communication Manager security code (password) for each SIP telephone. You have configured SIP Enablement Services for each SIP telephone. Note: This checklist item applies only to SIP telephones. However, to allow a SIP telephone user to sign on to an H.323 telephone, you must also establish that person’s User ID and password on Avaya Communication Manager. |
|
|
|
10c. |
You have an 802.1X Supplicant Identity and password for each IP telephone (H.323 only) if applicable to your environment. The MAC address of the telephone will be used as a default ID and the default password will be Null if you do not provide values. For more information, see 802.1X Supplicant Authentication. |
|
|
|
11. |
A Category 5e LAN jack is available at each telephone site. |
|
|
|
12. |
Electrical power is provided to each telephone by a Telephone Power Module (DC power jack) (must be ordered separately). If the LAN will supply IEEE-standard power to the 4601/4602/4602SW/4606/4610SW/4612/4620/4620SW/4621SW/4622SW/4624/4625SW/4630SW, no power module is required. |
|
NOTE: The 4630 IP Telephone does not support IEEE-standard power, and therefore requires the Power Module. |
|||
|
|
13. |
1 Category 5e modular line cord is available for the connection between the IP telephone and the PC. |
|
|
|
14. |
Verify that the 4600 Series IP Telephone package includes the following components:
|
|
|
|
15. |
IP telephones ship from the factory with H.323 software. Existing installations might also have many IP telephones running H.323 software. For instructions on how to convert between H.323 and SIP software, see Converting Software on Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones. |
