What’s New in Issue 4
New material in this issue to support Release 2.6 software includes:
● Support for IEEE 802.1X authentication standard and a corresponding system parameter,
DOT1X.
● Support for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).
● Power conservation mode, to turn off the telephone backlight under restricted power
conditions.
● Enhanced resilience to denial of service attacks, including new parameters to allow control
of trade-offs between enhanced security and other network feature operations.
● New telephone models 4601+ and 4602SW+. The new models replace the 4601 and
4602/4602SW IP Telephones, respectively, which do not run on Release 2.6 software. The
new models have twice as much memory as the telephones they replace and comply with
RoHS (EU lead-free).
● SNMP is no longer enabled by default. Administrators must initiate SNMP by setting the
SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING system values appropriately. Read more about SNMP and
