4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide

Software

As shipped from the factory, the 4600 Series IP Telephones may not contain sufficient software for
registration and operation. When the phone is first plugged in, a software download from a TFTP
server is initiated. This gives the phone the functionality of a DEFINITY/MultiVantage IP
Telephone.
For downloads of software upgrades, DEFINITY/MultiVantage provides the capability for a remote
restart of the IP telephone. As a consequence of restarting, the phone automatically restarts
reboot procedures which result in a download, if new software is available.

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before plugging in the 4600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all of the following requirements have
been met. Failure to do so will prevent the telephone from working and may have a negative
impact on your network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and IP Telephone.
Requirements to Verify about the Network
1. The DEFINITY/MultiVantage switch is administered for IP Telephones and has
software for Release 8.4 or later. MultiVantage Release 11 supports the 4602 and
4620 IP Telephones.
For Release 1.1 of the 4600 Series Telephones, the DEFINITY switch must have
Release 9 software. For Release 1.5 of the 4600 Series Telephones, the DEFINITY
switch must have Release 9.5 software. For Release 1.6 of the 4600 IP Series
Telephones, and for support of the 4630 IP Telephone, the DEFINITY switch must
have Release 10 software. For Release 1.7 of the 4600 IP Series Telephones, and for
support of the 4602 and 4620 IP Telephones, the DEFINITY/MultiVantage switch must
have Release 11 software.
2. The following two circuit packs are installed on the switch:
TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack
TN799B Control-LAN (CLAN) circuit pack
3. Ensure that all required parameters are configured correctly. For MultiVantage, see the
MultiVantage documentation. For the DHCP and TFTP, see "Troubleshooting
Guidelines" in the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide.
4. The DHCP server and application are administered as described in the 4600 Series IP
Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide.
5. The TFTP server and application are administered as described in the 4600 Series IP
Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide.
6. The upgrade script and application files are loaded correctly on the TFTP server.
7. If applicable, the LDAP, HTTP, DNS, Voice Mail, and/or Web Messaging servers are
administered as described in the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide.
This is a consideration only for 4630 installations.
