Entering Data for Administrative Options

This section applies to all IP telephones with a display. It does not apply to the 4601 IP Telephone, which does not have a display. This section describes how to enter data for administrative options.

1. Invoke all local procedures by pressing the Hold or Mute button, up to 7 numeric dial pad buttons, and the # button. The 4630/4630SW IP Telephones and the 4690 IP Conference Telephone do not have a dedicated Hold button. On these phones, you must use the Mute button to access these options.

A 6-second timeout is in effect between button presses after pressing the Hold button. If you do not press a valid button within 6 seconds of pressing the previous button, the collected digits are discarded. In this case, no administrative option is invoked.

2. Attempts to enter invalid data are rejected, and the telephone emits an error beep.
3. If you enter a numeric digit for a value or for an IP Address or subnet mask field after entering only a zero, the new digit replaces the zero.
4. Press the # button to go to the next step.
5. How to backspace depends on the type of telephone being installed, as shown in this chart:

When you press the applicable button or key to backspace, the most recently entered digit or period is erased from the display. The cursor remains in the erased character’s former position.

6. If PROCPSWD is administered as indicated in Chapter 4 of the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator Guide, you must type the Local Procedure password after pressing Mute and before pressing the code for your given local programming option.

NOTE: If PROCSTAT has been administered to 1, as described in Chapter 4 of the 4600 Series IP Telephones LAN Administrator Guide, you will not be able to invoke any administrative options other than V I E W.
