Converting Software on Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones
Issue 6 February 2007 43
Converting 4602+/4610SW/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephones
An H.323 IP telephone can be either in use with possible customized settings or out of the box
with factory default settings. An out of the box telephone requires accessing the manual
programming mode early in the process and setting the Signaling Protocol Identifier (SIG)
parameter to “SIP.” Converting to SIP early avoids having to first load H.323 software, log in,
and then invoke the “in use” process to load the SIP software.
Note:
Note: For information about the SIG parameter, see “Choosing the Right Application
File and Upgrade Script File” in the 4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator
Guide (Document Number 555-233-507). For information on setting or changing
the SIG parameter, see Signaling Protocol Identifier
on page 77.
