Pre-Installation Checklist

Before plugging in the 9600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all the following requirements are met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working properly and can have a negative impact on the network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and IP telephone.


Verify These Network Requirements
	1.	Ensure that the LAN uses Ethernet Category 5e cabling running the IPv4 version of Internet Protocol.
	2.	Avaya Communication Manager (CM) Release 3.0 software supports 9600 Series IP Telephones aliased as 4600 Series IP Telephones. Specifically, the 9610 and 9620 should be aliased as a 4610SW and the 9630/9630G, 9640/9640G, and 9650 should be aliased as a 4620SW. Avaya Communication Manager Release 4.0 software provides native support for all 9600 Series IP Telephones, eliminating the requirement to alias 9600 IP Telephones.
	3.	The following circuit packs are installed on the switch: TN2602 IP Media Processor circuit pack. Sites with a TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack are strongly encouraged to install a TN2602 circuit pack. TN799B, C, or D Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack. Important: IP telephone firmware Release 1.0 or greater requires TN799C V3 or greater C-LAN circuit pack(s). For more information, see the Communication Manager Software and Firmware Compatibility Matrix on the Avaya support Web site http://www.avaya.com/support.
	4.	The Avaya Media Server is configured correctly, as described in the Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator Guide and Avaya Communication Manager documentation. Both documents are available at: http://www.avaya.com/support.
	5.	The DHCP server and application are administered as described in the Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator Guide.
	6.	The HTTP server and application are administered as described in the Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator Guide.
	7.	The upgrade script and application files from the Avaya Support Web site, http://www.avaya.com/support, are loaded correctly on the HTTP/HTTPS server.
	8.	If applicable, the DNS server is administered as described in the Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator Guide.
	9.	If applicable, the WML server is administered as described in the Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator Guide.
	Notes:
Any or all of the server applications mentioned in items 5.-9. can be co-resident on the same hardware, subject to the specific restrictions of each individual application. See the Avaya one-X Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator Guide for more information about:
NOTE:	administering other network equipment, administering applications like firewalls, and information about topics like port utilization.


Requirements to Verify for Each IP Telephone
	10.	You have an extension number and an Avaya Communication Manager security code (password) for each applicable IP telephone. If your call server supports unnamed registration, and the telephone settings file allows unnamed registration, you do not need to provide an extension or password for the telephone. However, if you do not provide an extension or password, the telephone will have very limited telephone functionality. (For information, see Unnamed Registration.)
	11.	A Category 5e LAN jack is available at each telephone site.
	12.	Electrical power may be provided to each telephone by a Telephone Power Module (which must be ordered separately). If the LAN will supply IEEE-standard power (Power over Ethernet) to the telephone, no power module is required.


	13.	1 Category 5e modular line cord is available for the connection between the IP telephone and the PC, if applicable.
	14.	Verify that the 9600 Series IP Telephone package includes the following components: 1 telephone set with pre-attached stand. 1 handset capable of transmitting and receiving 7KHz audio. 1 H4DU 9-foot long (when extended) 4-conductor coiled handset cord, plugged into the telephone and the handset. 1 Category 5 modular line cord for the connection from the IP telephone to the Ethernet wall jack. 9630G/9640G Models (only) also include 1 DC power cord with a barrel connector for use with the 1151 auxiliary power supply.
