1. Operation of Avaya IP 9600/5600 Phones

2. Connection of IP 96xx/4600/5600 Phones
The recommended installation method for H.323 IP phones uses a DHCP server
DHCP will provide Gatekeeper, TFTP server address, etc.
4600 and 5600 Series H.323 IP phones use DHCP option 176
1600 and 9600 Series H.323 IP Phones use DHCP option 242
The network configuration of a 4600 series IP telephone can carried out using the device itself or using a DHCP server.
Gatekeeper, TFTP server address, etc. can also entered manually at the IP phone
Once powered, an IP phone will initially search for a script file "46xxupgrade.scr" on a TFTP server.
This script file contains data on the software version that is responsible for the IP phone.
Another required file is the 46xxsettings.txt file, which can contain information on the standard programming of the IP phone.
The PC running the Manager can act as TFTP server (note the directory path of the bin-files).

For IP Office 4.2 or later running on an IP500 IP Office system, the full capacity of up to 272 extensions is supported using the IP Office for DHCP.

4. DHCP Settings
4600 and 5600 Series H.323 IP phones use DHCP option and 9600 Series H.323 IP phones use DHCP option 242

5. DHCP option 176
In the string value field, enter the following: MCIPADD=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,MCPORT=1719,TFTPSRVR=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, TFTPDIR=z, VLANTEST=0 where:
•MCIPADD= is the H.323 Gatekeeper (Callserver) address. Normally, this is the IP Office Unit's LAN1 address. •MCPORT= is the RAS port address for initiating phone registration. •TFTPSRVR= is the TFTP Server IP Address. Normally, this is the IP address of the PC running Manager. •TFTPDIR= is the TFTP Server directory where the IP phone files are located. This entry is not required if those files are in the TFTP server's default directory. •VLANTEST= is the number of minutes phones should attempt to register on a specific VLAN before defaulting back to VLAN 0. This field is optional. A setting of 0 disables the fallback to registering on VLAN 0.
Note: This option must be configured on customer provided DHCP server.
When using IP Office as DHCP server, this option will be set automatically by IP Office

6. DHCP option 242
In the string value field, enter the following: MCIPADD=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,MCPORT=1719,HTTPSRVR=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy, HTTPDIR=z, VLANTEST=0 where:
•MCIPADD= is the H323 Gatekeeper (Callserver) address. Normally, this is the IP Office Unit's LAN1 address. •MCPORT= is the RAS port address for initiating phone registration. •HTTPSRVR= is the HTTP Server IP Address. Normally, this is the IP address of the PC running Manager. •HTTPDIR= is the HTTP Server directory where the IP phone files are located. This entry is not required if those files are in the HTTP server's default directory. •VLANTEST= is the number of minutes phones should attempt to register on a specific VLAN before defaulting back to VLAN 0. This field is optional. A setting of 0 disables the fallback to registering on VLAN 0.
Note: This option must be configured on customer provided DHCP server.
When using IP Office as DHCP server, this option will be set automatically by IP Office

10. 9600 Screen Saver
If you are going to add a custom Screen Saver, you will need to change this section of the file:
################ AVAYA SCREEN SAVER SETTINGS #####################
## Idle time before the Avaya Screen Saver is activated (minutes).
## Number of minutes without phone activity to wait
## before the screen saver is activated. A value of 0 means
## the screen saver is never activated. The default is 240 minutes.
## This parameter does not apply to 16cc SIP phones. ##
## Note:
## This setting activates the Avaya Screen Saver which is
## different than the "idle screen" accessed by WMLIDLEURI.
## While it is possible to use WMLIDLEURI as an "idle
## screen", it is recommended that the SCREENSAVERON
## timer and the Avaya Screen Saver display be used for
## screen saver purposes.
SET SCREENSAVERON 5
