Static Addressing Installation

The usual way to assign IP Addresses to IP telephones is the automatic method described in Dynamic Addressing Process. There might be times, however, when manual assignment of IP Addresses is desired.

CAUTION: Static addressing is necessary when a DHCP server is unavailable.

Because of the difficulties associated with static addressing, we very strongly recommend that a DHCP server be installed and static addressing avoided.

NOTE: The displays on the 4602, 4602SW, 4602SW+, 4610SW, 4612, 4620, 4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW, 4624, 4625SW, 4630, 4630SW, and 4690 IP Telephones accommodate 24 characters per line. The display on the 4606 Telephone accommodates 16 characters per line. Here and in the procedures that follow, the example on the left shows the 4602, 4602SW, 4602SW+, 4610SW, 4612, 4620, 4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW, 4624, 4625SW, 4630, 4630SW, and 4690 Telephones’ display. The example on the right shows the 4606 Telephone’s display. Showing only one example means that example applies to all 4600 Series IP Telephones with displays.

The 4601 IP Telephone does not support static addressing.

Use the following procedure to invoke manual address information programming.

1. Start manual address programming by performing one of the following steps:
1. During normal DHCP processing, press the * key while “* to program“ displays during the DHCP process.

1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the faceplate of the telephone:

Mute 2 3 3 7 # (Mute A D D R #)

NOTE: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this button while pressing other keys/buttons. The 4630/4630SW IP Telephones and the 4690 IP Conference Telephone do not have a dedicated Hold button. For all other 4600 Series IP Telephones, pressing the Hold button instead of the Mute button also works.

The following message displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the value of the telephone.

2. Enter the telephone’s IP Address followed by the # button.

The following message displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the value of the media server/gatekeeper (H.323) or Registration Server (SIP) IP Address.

3. Enter the Gatekeeper IP Address (H.323) or Registration Server IP Address (SIP) followed by the # button.

The following message displays:

where nnnnn is the value of the Management Complex (media server/gatekeeper) transport-layer port number, a value between 0 and 65535.

4. Enter the appropriate value for the Port Number followed by the # button.

The following message displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the value of the gateway/router IP Address.

5. Enter the Gateway router IP Address followed by the # button.

The following message displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the value of the IP netmask.

6. Enter the IP netmask followed by the # button.

The following message displays:

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the value of the TFTP server IP Address.

7. Enter the TFTP/HTTP Server IP Address followed by the # button.

One of the following texts displays left-justified at the top of the display, depending on the current status of 802.1Q:

8. Press the 1 or 0 button to turn 802.1Q on or off respectively.

10. Enter a valid value between 0 and 4094 for the new value of the 802.1 VLAN ID.

The following message displays:

where ddd is the value of the DHCPOFFER wait period.

11. Enter a valid value between 0 and 999 for the new value of the DHCPOFFER wait period.

The following message displays:

12. Press the # button to save the new values you entered.

The following message displays:

Once the new values are stored, the telephone is reset.

If a new boot program is downloaded from the TFTP server after you enter static addressing information, you must reenter your static addressing information.
