Chapter 3: Installing the deskphone

Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone

The Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone product line uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology with
Ethernet interfaces.
Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone supports DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS over IPv4 including Internet
Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Both the
protocols enhance deskphone administration and servicing.
These deskphones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP addresses. The deskphones use HTTP to
download firmware files and HTTP/HTTPS to download configuration files.

Updating phone software for installation

About this task
A phone that is shipped from the factory might not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and operation. When you first plug in the phone, a software download from an HTTP
server might be initiated. The software download provides the phone upgraded functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the Avaya call server provides the capability for a
remote restart of the IP phone. When you restart the phone, the phone automatically restarts and
performs a download if new software is available. For more information, see
distribution packages
