Using The Pre-Installation Checklist; Changing Ip Address Information - Avaya 9608 Installation And Maintenance Manual

Using Local Administrative (Craft) Options

Using the pre-installation checklist

Before performing static programming of address information, verify that all the requirements
listed in the" Requirements to verify for your network" section of the
checklist on page 12 are met. You do not have to consider item 4., as it refers to the DHCP
server. In addition, you must have the values for the following parameters. Failure to do so can
cause data entry errors that prevent the telephone from working. Such errors can also have a
negative impact on your network. Print copies of this checklist for each subnet.
• The IP Address of the call server.
• The IP Address of the gateway/router.
• The IP netmask.
• The IP Address of the HTTP server.

Changing IP address information

42 H.323 Installation & Maintenance Guide R6.1
The usual way to assign IP Addresses to IP telephones is the automatic method
described in About powering-up and resetting the deskphone (Dynamic Addressing
Process) on page 25. There might be times, however, when manual assignment of
IP Addresses is desired.
Caution:
Static addressing is necessary when a DHCP server is unavailable. Because of
the increased opportunities for text entry errors associated with static addressing,
Avaya strongly recommends that a DHCP server be installed and static
addressing avoided.
Important:
IPv6 operation is limited to a specific customer set and is not for general use.
Note:
When updating local (Craft) procedures from a touchscreen deskphone, touching
the line you want to change or the applicable softkey produces the same result
as selecting a line and pressing the applicable softkey on a non-touchscreen IP
Deskphone.
Use the following procedure to invoke manual address information programming.
