Administering Options for the 4600 Series IP Telephones

This chapter’s Introduction indicates that there are many parameters you can administer for the 4600 Series IP Telephones. This section explains how to change parameters by means of the DHCP or TFTP/HTTP servers. In all cases, you are setting a system parameter in the telephone to a desired value. Table 10 lists the parameter names, their default values, the valid ranges for those values, and a description of each one. For DHCP, the DHCP Option sets these parameters to the desired values as discussed in DHCP Generic Setup. For TFTP and HTTP, the parameters in Table 10 are set to desired values in the Script File, as discussed in Contents of the Upgrade Script.

Avaya recommends that you administer options on the 4600 Series IP Telephones using script files. Some DHCP applications have limits on the amount of user-specified information. The administration required can exceed those limits, for example, for a 4630 with all applications administered.

You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from the dialpad, as of Release 1.8. As of that Release, a new system value, PROCPSWD, can be set as part of standard DHCP/TFTP administration. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, the user cannot invoke any “dialpad options” without first pressing Mute or Hold and entering the PROCPSWD value. See “Chapter 3" of the 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide for more information.

CAUTION: PROCPSWD is likely stored on the server “in the clear” and is certainly sent to the telephone in the clear. Therefore, do not consider PROCPSWD as a high-security technique to inhibit a sophisticated end-user from obtaining access to local procedures.

Administering this password can limit access to all local procedures, including
V I E W, which is read-only and would not change any settings in any case.

NOTE: Parameters that do not specify “H.323” or “SIP” apply to both protocols.

Valid values are: 1=User can specify server and directory path. 2=User can specify directory path only. 0=User must use the server and directory path administered. If the telephone is supposed to restore/retrieve data with HTTP/HTTPS as indicated by the system value of BRURI, the system value of RESTORESTAT (and not FTPUSERSTAT) is the only relevant permission to backup/restore. This is because HTTP/HTTPS is invoked when BRURI is non-null, and if the operation fails, FTP is not attempted.
GMTOFFSET	0:00	Standard Time Offset from Greenwich Mean Time for SIP telephones. Valid values are a positive or negative number of hours and minutes less than 13 hours (1 to 6 ASCII characters, optionally beginning with “+” or “-”, followed by one or two ASCII numeric digits whose combined value is from 0 to 12, optionally followed by a “:” and two ASCII numeric digits whose combined value is from 00 to 59).

Null (“”) is a valid value, but the value may not contain spaces.
OPSTAT	111	Options status flags. Consists of 3 “bits” where each digit represents a 0 (disabled/off) or 1 (enabled/on). When OPSTAT is set to 000, all options are disabled and a user attempt to access the Options menu produces an error screen. Setting the first character to 0 (001, 010, or 011) disables the second Options menu screen, blocking user access to Personal Ringing, Contrast Control, Backup/Restore, Feature Button Labeling, PC Ethernet interface, and Select Display Language. Setting the second character to 0 (001, 100, or 101) removes View IP Settings and Network Audio Quality from the main Options screen, making these options unavailable to the user. Further, setting the second character to 0 also removes the IP Address from the Discovering... message the telephone displays while attempting to find a media server. Setting the third character to 0 (100, 010, or 110) removes the Logoff option from the main Options menu, making this feature unavailable to the user.

Values are 000 to 999, defined as: 0 = Push disabled. 1 = Normal only push allowed. 2 = Normal and/or barge-on push allowed. For example, if the value is “222” everything is allowed, if the value is “111” no barge-in is allowed, and the value 200 signifies both a normal and barge-in audio push, but not a Web or Top Line push.
PUSHPORT	80	Destination TCP port for the telephone’s HTTP server. Valid values are: 80 to 65535.
QKLOGINSTAT	1	Quick Login Status. Valid values are: 0=Delete H.323 registration password upon user logoff. 1=Retain H.323 registration password upon user logoff.

SIPREGISTRAR	“ ” (Null)	SIP Registrar IP Addresses. Valid values are zero or more IP Addresses in dotted-decimal or DNS name format, separated by commas without any intervening spaces (0 to 255 ASCII characters, including commas). Null (“”) is a valid value, but the value may not contain spaces.
SNMPADD	" " (Null)	Text string containing one or more allowable source IP Addresses for SNMP queries, in dotted decimal or DNS format, separated by commas, with up to 127 total ASCII characters. The Null default means that SNMP is disabled. Release 2.6 does not support SNMP unless SNMPADD is set to a non-null value. When non-null, the telephone accepts only SNMP queries from the IP Addresses in this parameter. See the note under SNMPSTRING.
SNMPSTRING	" " (Null)	Text string containing the SNMP community string (up to 32 ASCII characters). The Null default means that SNMP is disabled. Release 2.6 does not support SNMP unless SNMPSTRING is set to a non-null value. Note: SNMPSTRING cannot be set using Static Addressing (ADDR). As of R2.7, SNMPSTRING cannot be set on telephones programmed statically, therefore SNMP cannot be used on those telephones.
SNTPSRVR	“ ” (Null)	Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) Server IP Addresses for SIP telephones. Valid values are zero or more IP Addresses in dotted-decimal or DNS name format, separated by commas without any intervening spaces (0 to 255 ASCII characters, including commas). Null (“”) is a valid value, but the value may not contain spaces.
SPEAKERSTAT	2	Hands-Free Audio Operation for SIP IP telephones. Valid value is one ASCII numeric digit, 0 to 2, as follows: 0=No hands-free audio 1=One-way Speaker (monitor) 2=Two-way Speaker
STATIC	0	Static programming override flag. If set to “0” static programming never overrides file server- (DHCP or TFTP) or call server-administered data. If set to “1” the file server (TFTPSRVR, HTTPSRVR, TLSSRVR) address is overridden with the statically programmed value. If set to “2” the call server (MCIPADD) address is overridden with the statically programmed value, the only non-DHCP settable value. If set to “3” both the file server and call server addresses are overridden by the statically programmed values. STATIC can only be usefully set in DHCP, and values 1 and 3 must be set via DHCP. STATIC = 1 allows local programming of individual telephones to use a different file server than the one commonly used by all telephones at the site. This is useful to test a different set of 46xxsettings.txt parameters or to force a telephone to use a different software load than is commonly used. STATIC = 2 allows individual telephones to be programmed to go to one particular call server. STATIC = 3 provides the combined features of STATIC = 1 and STATIC = 2.
SYSLANG	English	Language of the 4610SW/4620/4620SW, 4621SW, 4622SW, and 4625SW user interface, in ASCII, independent of the MultiVantage message language.

VLANSEP	1	VLAN separation. Controls whether frames to/from the secondary Ethernet interface receive IEEE 802.1Q tagging treatment. The tagging treatment enables frames to be forwarded based on their tags in a manner separate from telephone frames. If tags are not changed, no tag-based forwarding is employed. Values are: 1=Change tags as necessary, 2= Do not change tags.
VLANTEST	60	Number of seconds to wait for a DHCPOFFER when using a non-zero VLAN ID (1-3 ASCII digits, from “0” to “999”).
WMLIDLETIME	10	The number of minutes until the browser sends an HTTP GET command for the URI specified in WMLIDLEURI. 1 to 3 ASCII numeric digits. Valid values are "1" to "999".
WMLIDLEURI	" " (Null)	The URI of the Web page displayed when WMLIDLETIME is reached and the HTTP GET is successful.
