Release 8.4 supports the 4612 and 4624 IP Telephones. The 4612 and 4624 IP
Telephones are aliased as 6424 Telephones, administered as IP Softphones. The
administrative forms for the 6424 IP Softphone are used for the two IP telephones. See Related
Documents on page 15, particularly the Administration for Network Connectivity and the
Administrator Guides. Follow these guidelines:
● Alias the IP telephone as a 6424D+ DCP set, with the IP Softphone field set to “y” (Yes).
● Administer a Media Complex Ext for the audio channel.
DHCP and File Servers
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a means by which configuration
parameters can be automatically assigned to clients on a TCP/IP network. DHCP minimizes a
4600 Series IP Telephone network’s maintenance by removing the need to individually assign
and maintain IP Addresses and other parameters for each IP telephone on the network.
Software Checklist
Ensure that you have purchased and/or own licenses to install and use any or all of the DHCP,
TFTP, and HTTP server software.
Note:
Note: It is possible to install the DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP server software on the same
machine.
!
CAUTION:
CAUTION: The circuitry in the 4600 Series IP Telephones reserves IP Addresses of the form
192.168.2.x for internal communications. The telephone(s) will not properly use
addresses you specify if they are of that form.
