Chapter 3: Local Administrative Options


Introduction

After you have successfully installed an IP telephone, you might be instructed to administer one of the options described in this chapter.

NOTE: You can modify the settings file to set parameters for IP telephones that download their upgrade script and application files from the same TFTP or HTTP server. See the section on “4600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files” in Chapter 4 of the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator Guide.

Because the 4601 and 4601+ IP Telephones do not have a display, they are limited in their ability to support Local Administrative Procedures. Specifically, the only Local Administrative Procedures the 4601/4601+ supports are:

In addition, because it lacks a display to provide visual feedback during data entry, the 4601 IP Telephone has unique data entry and feedback procedures. See Entering Data for the 4601 IP Telephone.

CAUTION: Perform these procedures only if instructed to do so by the system or LAN administrator.

Static administration of these options causes upgrades to work differently than if they are administered dynamically. Values assigned to options in static administration are not changed by upgrade scripts. These values remain active for the telephone until either:

Aside from SSON, use these option-setting procedures only with static addressing and, as always, only if instructed by the system or LAN administrator. Aside from SSON, do not use these option-setting procedures if you are using DHCP. DHCP is the Dynamic Addressing Process, as indicated in Dynamic Addressing Process.
