Chapter 3: Requirements
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 new 4600 Series IP
Telephones.
The 4600 Series IP Telephones provide support for DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP over IPv4/UDP,
which enhance the administration and servicing of the phones. These phones use DHCP to
obtain dynamic IP addresses and TFTP or HTTP to download new versions of software for the
phones.
Using either a built-in hub or a switched port, the 4600 Series IP Telephones offer one desktop
connection for both the telephone set and the PC.
Note:
Note: In all cases, references to “Avaya Communication Manager” or “CM” apply only
to 4600 Series IP Telephones supporting H.323.

met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working and might have a negative impact on
your network.
