Introduction

The 4600 Series IP Telephones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet line interfaces. The IP
telephones supplement the existing Avaya IP Solutions platform. This feature provides the user with the
capability to natively administer and maintain the new 4600 Series IP Telephones.
The 4600 Series IP Telephones provide support for DHCP and TFTP over IPv4/UDP which enhance the
administration and servicing of the phones. These phones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP addresses and
TFTP to download new versions of software for the phones.
The 4600 Series IP Telephones provide the ability to have one connection on the desktop for both the
telephone set and the PC using the telephone's built-in hub.

Hardware Requirements

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.
The following hardware is required for 4600 Series IP Telephones to work properly.
NOTE:

firmware. In the event your site does not have the latest PBX software, follow the
