4600 Series IP Telephone Installation
46 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide
In general, each telephone must have an 802.1X ID and password so that the network access
process is successful. When operating under 802.1X, Avaya suggests that you:
● pre-stage installation in a lab or on a small non-802.1X network, avoiding 802.1X
authentication until after the telephone receives an application software download,
● connect the telephones with upgraded software to the network under which they will
normally operate, and
● perform the Set the 802.1X Operational Mode procedure for each telephone to assign an
802.1X operational mode.
Your Avaya technical consultant can assist you in optimizing 4600 Series IP Telephone
installation in an 802.1X environment.
