Avaya IP Phones Introduction This guide covers the installation of 4600 Series and 5600 Series of Avaya IP phones on the IP Office. Currently the following Avaya IP phones are supported on IP Office 3.0: • 4601, 4602, 4602SW, 4606, 4610SW, 4612, 4620, 4620SW, 4624.
IP Office IP Phone Installation Manual What's New in 3.0 The main changes to IP phone support in IP Office 3.0 is the addition of support for several new phones. These are: • Avaya 4600 Series IP Phones The following phones in the 4600 Series are now supported on IP Office.
• LAN Cables: Check that an RJ45 LAN cable has been supplied with the Avaya IP phone for connection to the power unit. You will also need an additional RJ45 LAN cable for connection from the power unit to the customer LAN.
VoIP traffic. It is assumed that a network assessment has been performed, with or without the assistance of Avaya, before attempting to install VoIP. You must do this in order to have a high degree of confidence that the existing data network has the capacity to carry voice packet traffic and is compatible with the required technology.
The VCM channels automatically use either G.723 (6k3) or G.729a (8k) compression Codecs and provide echo cancellation required for high latency circuits. Avaya IP telephones support G.711, G.729a and G.729b, thus G.729b is normally auto-negotiated when these phones are used on IP Office.
VoIP. • Cabling Connections: Technically VoIP can (bandwidth allowing) be run across any IP network connection. In practice Cat5 cabling is essential. Avaya IP Phone Installation Page 10 IP Office 3.0 Issue 10b (26th January 2005)
Avaya 1151B1 Power Supply Unit (PSU) A power supply unit for a single Avaya IP phone. Has a LINE port for the LAN cable from the IP Office, and a PHONE port for the LAN cable to the Avaya IP phone. Power into the PSU requires a 90 to 264V AC, 47 to 63HZ mains supply.
802.3af Power over Ethernet Options IEEE 802.3af is a standard, commonly known as Power over Ethernet (PoE), that allows network devices to receive power via the network cable. All the Avaya IP telephones supported on IP Office also support this standard.

4601 or 5601 to a different IP Office system. 1a. Creating a 46xxsettings.txt File During installation, the Avaya IP phones request software by downloading and following instructions within the 46xxupgrade.scr file (see The 46XX Upgrade Script File). This file is provided as part of the IP Office Manager software and should normally not be changed.

User to display the list of existing users. In the list of users, a new user will have been created matching the VoIP extension number above. 5. Double-click on the Avaya IP telephone extension user to display their settings. 6. In the User tab set the user Name and Full Name as required.
11. When all new IP phone extension being added have been setup, click on to send the new configuration back to the system. Set the Reboot Mode to Immediate or When Free as Extension changes cannot be merged. Avaya IP Phone Installation Page 19 IP Office 3.0 Issue 10b (26th January 2005)
Restrict the IP or MAC Address Entering either of these values in the Extension's VoIP tab will restrict usage to that address or device. The MAC address of an Avaya IP Telephone is printed on a label on the base of the phone.
These procedures should only be used if you are using static address installation. Do not use these procedures if you are using DHCP. • To set parameters for all Avaya IP phones on a system, you can edit the 46XXsettings.scr script file. See The 46XX Settings Script File. Entering Data for Administrative Options This section describes how to enter data for the administrative options.
(usually marked with a symbol). The default for the hub interface is enabled. The same procedure can also be used to enable or disable the IR port found on some Avaya IP phones, see Infrared Dialing for more details. 1. While the phone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence: Hold 4 6 8 # (Hold I N T #) 2.
• Failed to set phone IP address: The Avaya IP phone was originally installed on one switch with Static Addressing, and has subsequently been installed on another switch with an active DHCP server assigning dynamic IP addresses. Reset the telephone.

AGC can be separately switched on or off for the phone handset, headset and speaker. The AGC settings for all Avaya IP phones can also be set through the 46xxsetting.txt file, see The 46XX Settings Script File.
Appendix B: IP Telephone Files IP Telephone Files The files necessary to operate an Avaya IP phone with IP Office are available on the IP Office Administrator Applications CD. They are installed to the program folder of the IP Office Manager application.
IP Office IP Phone Installation Manual The 46XX Upgrade Script File Following any restart, each Avaya IP phone attempts to load the 46XXupgrade.scr file from the TFTP server. If not found, the phone attempts to continue operation with its previous settings and software.
Appendix B: IP Telephone Files The 46XX Settings Script File This file contains are range of settings used by Avaya IP phones and telephone applications. These values may require editing to suit the customer installation. See 1a. Creating a 46xxsettings.txt File .

• The password checked against is the User's Login Code stored in the IP Office Manager. 2. Upon completion of registration, dial-tone is available on the telephone. Avaya IP Phone Installation Page 33 IP Office 3.0 Issue 10b (26th January 2005)
Appendix D: Infrared Dialing Infrared Dialing Several Avaya IP phones include an infrared (IR) port at the front of the phone. This includes the 4606, 4612, 4624 and 4620. • The port appears as a dark plastic window on the front edge of the phone, just below the normal dialing keys.
Enabling the IR Port By default, where fitted the IR port on Avaya IP phones is enabled. If necessary it can be disabled. 1. With the phone on-hook and idle, press Hold 4 6 8 # (Hold I N T #).
If you are unsure of the file format used by your IR device, you can try beaming a contact anyway. The display on the Avaya IP phone will display the name of the file it received. If that ends in .vcf then the phone should dial the number in the VCard file.
1. In Contacts select the entry you want to dial. 2. Click on Tools and select Beam Contact. 3. The Pocket PC will search for and then display the IR enabled devices it could find. The Avaya IP phone should appear on the list.
The IP address of the IP Office control unit • The IP address of the PC running Manager (this PC acts as a TFTP server for the Avaya IP phones during installation). Full information on LAN administration and configuration is contained in the Avaya documents "4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide"...
3. If DHCP is not present then you need to install the DHCP components for Windows 2000, refer to the Microsoft documentation. 2. Windows 2000 DHCP Setup for Avaya IP Phones 2a. Creating the Scope A DHCP scope defines the IP addresses that the DHCP server can issue in response to DHCP requests.

DHCP option numbers. The settings for each Option are attached to the scope. Avaya IP phones need the IP address of an H323 Gatekeeper (normally the IP Office) and a TFTP server (normally the PC running Manager). They do this by requesting the Option 176 settings from the DHCP server.
The scope can be manually activated by right clicking on the scope, select All Tasks and select Activate. The activation is immediate. You should now be able to start installing Avaya IP phones using DHCP. Ensure that Manager is running of the PC specified as the TFTP server.
For details of those WML 1.2 tags supported refer to the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide (555-233-507). WTAI (Wireless Telephony Application Interface) links are supported to allow numbers embedded in WML pages to be dialed from phones.
