Step 3: Telephone and File Server

The 1600 Series IP Telephones can download script files, application files, and settings files

from either an HTTP or HTTPS server. The telephone queries the file server, which transmits a

script file to the telephone. This script file, at a minimum, tells the telephone which application

file the telephone must use. The application file is the software that has the telephony

functionality.

The telephone uses the script file to determine if it has the proper application file. If the

telephone determines the proper application file is missing, the telephone requests an

application file download from the file server. The file server then downloads the file and

conducts some checks to ensure that the file was downloaded properly. If the telephone

determines it already has the proper file, the telephone proceeds as described in the next

paragraph without downloading the application file again.

The telephone checks and loads the application file, then uses the script file to look for a

settings file, if appropriate. The optional settings file can contain settings you have administered

for any or all of the 1600 Series IP Telephones in your network. For more information about this

download process and settings file, see

The call server referred to in this step is the Avaya Media Server.

In this step, the telephone might prompt the user for an extension and password. The telephone

uses that information to exchange a series of messages with the call server. For a new

installation and for full service, the user can enter the telephone extension and the call server

password. For a restart of an existing installation, this information is already stored on the

telephone, but the user might have to confirm the information. The telephone and the call server

exchange more messaging. The expected result is that the telephone is appropriately

registered and call server data such as feature button assignments are downloaded.
