Chapter 3: Installing the deskphone

Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone

The Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone product line uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology with
Ethernet interfaces.
Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone supports DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS over IPv4/UDP including
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).
Both the protocols enhance deskphone administration and servicing.
These deskphones use DHCP to get dynamic IP Addresses and HTTP or HTTPS to download
new software versions or customized settings.

Updating phone software for installation

About this task
A phone that is shipped from the factory might not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and operation. When you first plug in the phone, a software download from an
HTTP server might be initiated. The software download provides the phone upgraded
functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the media server provides the capability for
a remote restart of the IP phone. When you restart the phone, the phone automatically restarts
and performs a download if new software is available. For more information, see
software distribution packages
page 22.

Creating the pre-installation checklist

Before plugging in an Avaya B189 Conference IP Phone, verify the following requirements. If
you fail to meet the requirements, the phone might not funtion properly and can negatively
impact the network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and deskphone.
