Chapter 7: Administering Telephone Options
Administering Options for the 1600 Series IP Telephones
This chapter explains how to change parameters by means of the DHCP or HTTP servers. In all
cases, you are setting a system parameter in the telephone to a desired value. Table 7
lists:
● the parameter names,
● their default values,
● the valid ranges for those values, and
● a description of each one.
For DHCP, the DHCP Option sets these parameters to the desired values as discussed in
DHCP and File Servers
on page 37. For HTTP, the parameters in Table 7 are set to desired
values in the script file. For more information, see Contents of the Settings File
on page 58.
When using a media server, see Table 6: Media Server Field Names & Corresponding Script
File Parameter Names on page 52 for information on parameters set by the media server
application.
Avaya recommends that you administer options on the 1600 Series IP Telephones using script
files. Some DHCP applications have limits on the amount of user-specified information. The
administration required can exceed those limits for the more full-featured telephone models.
You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from
the dialpad. You can set the system value, PROCPSWD, as part of standard DHCP/HTTP
administration. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, the user cannot invoke
any “dialpad options” without first pressing Mute and entering the PROCPSWD value. For more
information on dialpad options, see the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Value Edition 1600 IP
Telephone Installation and Maintenance Guide.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: PROCPSWD is likely stored on the server “in the clear” and is sent to the
telephone in the clear. Therefore, do not consider PROCPSWD as a
high-security technique to inhibit a sophisticated user from obtaining access to
local procedures.
Administering this password can limit access to all local procedures, including
V I E W. VIEW is a read-only option that allows review of the current telephone
settings.
