Chapter 1: Introduction
Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide instructions on installation, deployment, initial
administration, maintenance, and troubleshooting for 9600 Series H.323 Deskphones.
This guide is intended for personnel who install, administer, and maintain Avaya Aura®
Communication Manager, DHCP, and HTTP/HTTPS servers for Avaya 9608, 9608G, 9611G,
9621G, 9641G, and 9641GS IP Deskphones H.323, and a Local Area Network (LAN). All models
except the 9608 have a Gigabit Ethernet switch with which the phone and a PC can share the
same LAN connection. Thus, these models do not work with the 30A switched hub interface. The
9641G and 9641GS deskphones also have an integrated Bluetooth™ interface. For information
about setting up a Bluetooth™ device, see the Using Avaya 9621G/9641G/9641GS IP Deskphones
H.323 guide.
This document describes the installation and maintenance procedures for the deskphones. For
information about using the deskphone features, see the user documentation. For information
about desk mounting or wall mounting, see the instructions boxed with the phone or the Avaya
Support website at https://support.avaya.com/.

Chapter 2: Overview
Overview
9600 Series IP Deskphones
The Avaya 9600 Series IP Deskphones product line uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology with
Ethernet interfaces.
The 9600 Series IP Deskphones support DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS over IPv4/IPv6 including
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Both
the protocols enhance deskphone administration and servicing respectively.
These deskphones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP addresses. The deskphones use HTTP to
download firmware files and HTTP/HTTPS to download configuration files.
With all 9600 Series IP Deskphones, you need only one Ethernet connection from the enterprise
switch to connect both deskphone and personal computer. You can connect your personal
computer and deskphone using an Ethernet cable.
The following information pertains to Australian law:
This equipment must be installed and maintained by trained service personnel. All input/output
ports are classified as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV, in the meaning of IEC 60950). To maintain
safety compliance when connecting the equipment electrically to other equipment, the
interconnecting circuits shall be selected to provide continued conformance of clause 2.3 for SELV
circuits (generally, double/reinforced insulation to 240 Vac rms to any primary/mains circuitry and
120 Vac rms to any telecommunications network circuitry). To ensure that these conditions are
adhered to, interconnect the equipment only with the already approved/certified equipment.

Updating phone software for installation
About this task
A phone that is shipped from the factory might not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and operation. When you first plug in the phone, a software download from an HTTP
server might be initiated. The software download provides the phone upgraded functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the Avaya call server provides the capability for
a remote restart of the IP phone. When you restart the phone, the phone automatically restarts
and performs a download if new software is available. For more information, see About software
distribution packages on page 57 and Downloading software packages on page 58.
Plugging in the deskphone
About this task
Caution:
Use the correct jack when you plug in the deskphone. You can find the jacks at the rear of the
deskphone housing. Icons on the side of the jacks represent the correct use of each jack.
You can only provide power to the 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, 9641G and 9641GS deskphones
with the IP Phone Global Single Port PoE Injector (GSPPOE-xx), the new Telephone Power
Module (DC power jack) which is available separately (Comcode 700511266). In addition, all
deskphones support IEEE 802.3af-standard LAN-based power. Before you install a deskphone,
verify with the LAN administrator whether the LAN supports IEEE 802.3af, and if so, whether the
deskphone should be powered locally or by means of the LAN.
When you add devices like multiple button modules or a USB device to applicable IP deskphones,
the power class might change. Ensure that all the button modules are of the same model type.
Table 1 below shows the effect of such additions on the power class and indicates how to set the
IEEE power switch on the back of the deskphone to accommodate different power needs. When
you add USB devices, the deskphone displays instructions for any additional power needs.
Note:
The 9621G is a PoE Class 2 device with a 10/100/1000 switch and does not have an IEEE
power switch. The 9601 and 9621G do not support a button module, a USB device, or a Dual
Headset Adapter.
Note:
If you set the IEEE switch on the back of the deskphone to H, the deskphone registers as a
Class 3 device, even if the actual power usage is applicable to Class 1 or 2.

Note:
The deskphone monitors power consumption to conform to the IEEE 802.3af specifications. If you
connect a Dual Headset Adapter (DHA), the power classification might change and you must then
change the switch setting as well.
Note:
In 9611G, 9641G, and 9641GS, the USB interface supports USB login, use of digital pictures
from a USB device as a screensaver, and import or export of contact lists by a Flash drive.
The 9608 does not support USB devices, and the 9621G model does not have a USB jack.
Since the power consumption of the drive varies from product to product, you cannot state
how a USB will impact PoE power class. When the drive attempts to register with the
deskphone, the deskphone determines if its current power class setting is adequate to support
the drive. If power is adequate, the deskphone lets the drive register. If the power is not
adequate, the deskphone will alert the user to change the power class by changing the IEEE
power switch setting from L to H. In extreme situations, the total power consumption with the
addition of a USB device may be greater than what the Class 3 power source can provide. In
that case, the deskphone detects this and instructs the user to use an auxiliary power supply
or to temporarily disconnect one or more of the modules while the USB device is in use. The
system parameter USBPOWER determines for which power class or classes to enable power
to the USB interface. For more information, see Administering 9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/
9641G/9641GS IP Deskphones H.323.
Important:
The last step in assembling the 9600 Series IP Deskphone is to plug in the deskphone with
any modules or adapters or both but without attachments such as USB devices and headsets.
Plug in the deskphone to a power source either by plugging the power cord into the power
source (local power) or plug the modular line cord into the Ethernet wall jack (IEEE power).
Caution:
Failure to connect the proper cables with the proper jacks might result in an outage in part of
your network.

4. Ensure that the display bezel surrounding the screen is in proper position.
5. Plug the HAC cord back into the underside of the phone.
Plugging in and resetting the deskphone using the Dynamic
Addressing Process
Note:
Before you start this process you must have an extension number for the IP deskphone and
the Communication Manager security code (password) for that extension, unless you intend to
use the deskphone with unnamed registration. For more information, see About unnamed
registration on page 33. Any reference to the HTTP server applies equally to an HTTPS
server. You can run the plug in and reset process successfully using the following description.
As the deskphone initializes, you see messages, some of which are part of DHCP process, with a
power on indication and dynamic feedback. These messages indicate that the phone is active and
not locked. You also receive useful information, about the status of the network, the server, or the
downloading operations, before the dial tone.
Understanding the plug in and reset process
Plug the phone into the Ethernet wall jack. The phone receives power from the port and performs
the following processes:
Note:
Do not unplug the phone during the download process. Wait for the download process to
complete. If the application was downloaded earlier, the whole process takes approximately 1
to 2 minutes after the phone is plugged in. For software upgrades, including the boot file and
application file download, the process might take 5 to 10 minutes. The duration depends on
factors such as LAN loading and the number of phones being installed.
During hardware initialization, the system initialization values NVCONTRAST and
NVBRIGHTNESS are checked for non-null values, and set accordingly. phones with bit-mapped
display screens show the Avaya IP phone name and logo.
1. The system checks the system initialization value for the language file in use
(NVLANGFILE) for a non-null value, in which case the text strings in that language file are
used for text display. Otherwise, the display shows English text strings.
2. The boot programs check the Kernel or the Root File System that has previously been
marked as the one to be activated to ensure that it has not become corrupted. If the Kernel

or the Root File System is not corrupted, the system transfers control to a process in that
file system. If that file system is corrupted, the boot program checks the other Kernel/Root
File System. If that file system is not corrupted, the file system is marked as the one to be
activated. The system then sets the value of RFSINUSE to the name of the Signed Kernel
or Root Software Package that was used to install that file system, and the control is
transferred to the Signed Kernel or Root Software Package. If both Kernel and Root File
Systems are corrupted, the system halts the processing. The software checks whether a
Signed Application or Library Software Package has been previously downloaded. If the
system finds the Application Software Package or the Library Software Package the
Application Software Package or the Library Software Package is installed. If either the
Application Software Package or the Library Software Package has a different file name
than the currently installed version, the system replaces the existing corresponding files in
the Application File System. The system then deletes the downloaded Signed Application
or Library Software Package. If a new Signed Application or Library Software Package is
not found, the integrity of the application files is checked. If the files are corrupted, the
system installs the files from the Backup Package, replacing the corrupted files in the
Application File System. Each time an Application Software Package or a Library Software
Package is installed, the system sets the value of the persistent parameter APPINUSE to
the file name of the Application Software Package that was installed. If the application files
are not corrupted, or after the Backup Package has been installed, control is transferred to
the application installed in the Application File System. While the system loads the
application files into volatile memory and transfers control is transferred to the application
files, the bottom text line shows the value of the APPINUSE parameter.
3. The system starts and sets the internal clock/calendar is set to 0:00:00 Saturday, January
1, 2000.
4. The phone activates the Ethernet line interface , the PC Ethernet jack, and dial pad input to
allow the start of procedures. The activation occurs soon after power-up or a reset.
The phone displays the speed of the Ethernet interface in Mbps, that is, 10, 100, or 1000.
The phone then displays the message No Ethernet * to program until the software
determines whether the interface is 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps.
Note:
The Ethernet speed is the LAN interface speed for both the phone and any attached
computer, if the administrator has not disabled the latter interface by a PHY2STAT
setting.
Important:
When you press the star (*) after the system displays a * to program message. The
initialization process can support an interrupt that invokes the Craft Access entry
procedure to allow manual settings, only if the local dialpad procedure status
(PROCSTAT) system value is 0. The zero PROCSTAT value provides full access to
local procedures. If PROCSTAT is 1 the Craft Access entry procedure can be invoked
only when a * to program message displays, but only the VIEW procedure is
available.

5. The IP phone sends a request to the DHCP server and invokes the DHCP process.
The phone displays one of the following messages:
• DHCP: s secs * to program
• DHCP: s secs VLAN ID = n
where s is the number of seconds that have elapsed after the DHCP process was started.
The phone displays the first message if 802.1Q tagging is off and access to local
programming procedures is not disabled or restricted. The phone displays the second
message if 802.1Q tagging is on and access to local programming procedures is disabled
or restricted. If the first and second message alternate every 2 seconds, 802.1Q tagging is
on. When the phone displays both messages alternately, access to local programming
procedures is not disabled or restricted. Finally, the phone displays the third message if
802.1Q tagging is off and access to local programming procedures is disabled or restricted.
6. The system determines the DHCP protocol , IPv4 or IPv6 protocol, and the applicable
parameters that are enabled.
Important:
IPv6 operation is limited to a specific customer set and not for general use.
Note:
The IPV6STAT parameter overrides both the DHCPSTAT parameter setting and
manual programming. If DHCPSTAT is set to enable DHVPv6, DHCPSTAT is disabled
if IPV6STAT is 0 and disabled. Manual programming overrides DHCPSTAT, therefore
even if DHCPSTAT is set to enable DHCPv4 or DHCPv6, the DoDHCPV4 or
DoDHCPV6 will be set to 0 and disabled if an IP address of the corresponding type
has been manually programmed.
The DHCP server provides the IP addresses for the following hardware:
• The phone
• The HTTP/HTTPS server
• The TN799C or D Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack on the media server
7. Using the list of gateway IP addresses provided by the DHCP server, the phone performs a
router check. The phone cycles through the gateway IP addresses with ARPs or pings until
it receives a response. When the router is located, the router processes the received LLDP
TLVs. Then the HTTP process starts.
8. While the IP phone connects to the HTTP server, the phone displays one of the following
messages:
HTTP: n ipadd
or HTTP: n ipadd * to program
or HTTP: n ipaddProgram
where n is the number of the IP address obtained from the HTTP server and ipadd is the
IP address.

Pressing star (*) at this time invokes the Craft Access entry procedure to allow manual
settings.
9. When connected, the phone looks for an upgrade script file.
10. The HTTP server sends and identifies an upgrade script.
The phone might send the GET message several times. Each time the GET message is
sent, all IP phones display the following message: HTTP: n uri
For HTTP, n is the number of HTTP requests made by the phone and uri is the URI for the
current HTTP request.
Note:
The SIG parameter value determines the signaling protocol whether H.323 or SIP, and
is used to determine the proper upgrade file that is downloaded. If you set the SIG
parameter manually using the local administrative Craft SIG procedure, that value
takes precedence over a SIG setting in a configuration file. A change in the SIG value
might require a reset to the phone so that a new or different upgrade file can be
downloaded to the phone.
11. While the upgrade script file is being downloaded, all IP phones display the following
message: HTTP: n sc etag
where n is the number of the IP address obtained from the HTTP server, sc is the status
code of the HTTP response, and etag is the value of the ETag header.
12. When the phone establishes the validity of the application file received, the phone displays
the following message: File Obtained; please wait...... s secs
where s is the number of seconds that elapse while non-volatile memory is erased.
13. While the application file is saved in flash memory, all IP phones display the following
message: Saving to flash 1% 1 secs
where the percentage of the file and the number of elapsed seconds increase as the
application file is stored in flash memory.
14. The phone contacts the Avaya Communication Manager and displays a login screen that
displays the following:
Login, Enter Extension, or Enter Extension and press Enter or OK.
Steps to be performed by user after phone displays login and extension prompts:
1. Enter a new extension and press OK. To register the phone without the extension or
password (unnamed), press only OK or make no entry and wait 60 seconds.
Note:
Unnamed registration is registering a phone with the call server without entry of an
extension or password. You must set the UNNAMEDSTAT parameter to enable
unnamed registration. phones that are registered unnamed have limited functionality.

2. Enter the extension number and password and press OK. To register the phone without
the extension or password (unnamed), press OK or make no entry and wait 60 seconds.
To register the phone without the extension or password (unnamed), press Log In or make
no entry and wait 60 seconds.
You can see the extension as you enter the extension, but the password is displayed as
stars (*). The system determines whether the extension is in use.
Note:
If multiple gatekeepers are configured for the phone, the phone stops at the discovery
mode in the following conditions:
• The login credentials are incorrect.
• The phone is logged in. One of the gatekeepers is not reachable, because of an
upgrade or a network outage. In the discovery mode, press Reset. The phone
deletes the credentials from the memory, reboots, and displays the login page.
In the registration mode, the phone restarts, but it does not delete the login
credentials.
When this process is complete, you can hear a dial tone when you press the Speaker
button or lift the handset. The dial tone indicates that the IP phone was installed
successfully.
Understanding Unnamed registration
In an IP phone, when you register with a call server, and receive limited service, without requiring
an extension and password entry, this functionality is called as Unnamed registration. Unnamed
registration is useful in the following environments:
• “Hot-desking” environments where a time gap exists between one user logging out and
another user logging in on the same deskphone.
• Road warrior mode of use where a traveller can run the telephony features and functionality
by taking over the office deskphone extension.
In both examples, the user unregisters the deskphone by logging off or by taking the office
deskphone extension over to another deskphone. Without Unnamed registration, the deskphone
in the first example will wait for an extension and password entry and the deskphone in the second
example will continue attempting to register at regular intervals. The disadvantage of a

unregistered deskphone is that no one can use the deskphone, for example, to report a building
emergency like a fire.
In Unnamed registration, the deskphone registers without an extension and password. Because
there is no extension, telephony functionality is limited, specifically:
• The user has only one call appearance, and hence, cannot transfer or conference calls.
• The user has no administered feature buttons, and cannot invoke on-hook dialing.
• The user cannot reach extension-based information, such as the Contacts data of a given
user or Option settings.
• The user is limited to the calling capability administered for PSA (Personal Station Access)
on the call server, for example, access to an emergency number.
• The deskphone cannot receive any outside calls.
Unless otherwise disabled, the deskphone automatically attempts to register unnamed if no action
is taken on the deskphone extension entry screen within 60 seconds. To disable and prevent
Unnamed registration, enter an ID or password. The system ignores Unnamed registration after
any dialpad entry.
Administrators can disable Unnamed registration by appropriately administering the system
parameter UNNAMEDSTAT. For more information, see Administering Avaya IP Deskphone
9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G/9641GS H.323. Unnamed registration appears to the end user
like Communication Manager TTI Mode and is similar from an administration perspective. For
more information about TTI, see your Communication Manager documentation.

About local Craft procedures
During or after you successfully install an IP phone, a system message might instruct you to
administer one of the manual procedures described in this chapter. These local administrative
procedures are also referred to as Craft procedures.
Local Administrative Options has two forms: One provides access to all the capabilities and
functions described in this chapter.

The other provides access only to an administrable level of VPN capabilities and functions.
Using the VPN-specific option, the administrator can grant VPN users access to the VPN
procedure itself, while preventing these users from gaining access to any other Local
Administrative Procedure. The administrator may grant the VPN user permission to change VPN
settings or only to view the settings. For more information about access to VPN-only Local
Administrative Options, see the VPN Setup Guide for 9600 Series IP Telephones, 16-602968.
Caution:
Only trained installers or technicians should perform local administrative procedures. Perform
these procedures only if instructed to do so by the system or LAN administrator. Static
administration of these options causes upgrades to work differently with static administration
of these options than by dynamic administration. Values assigned to options in static
administration do not change with upgrade scripts. These values remain stored in the phone
until one of the following happens:
• You download a new boot file
• You reset the IP phone. See Resetting system values on page 52.

Accessing local Craft procedures
Note:
In addition to the procedures listed here, the administrator may allow access to only the VPN
procedure, by setting the VPNCODE parameter in the settings file. For more information on
access to VPN-only Local Administrative Options, see VPN Setup Guide for 9600 Series IP
Telephones, 16-602968.
When you set PROCSTAT to 0, you have full access to local Craft procedures and you can invoke
local craft procedures during initialization or whenever the deskphone displays this message:
* to program
You can also initiate the Craft procedure at any other time the initialization process can support a
processing interrupt. If you set PROCSTAT to 1, the system allows access only to the VIEW craft
procedure for debugging purposes. You can invoke local Craft procedures only when the “* to
program” message displays during initialization.
Note:
The system supports the * to program message is supported even if the value of
PROCSTAT is 1, when the messages Address conflict, Subnet conflict, Bad
router? and Bad FileSv address display. You can gain execute the Craft procedures in
response to these messages as the situations requires corrective input.

Entering data for administrative options
About this task
This section applies to all 9600 Series IP deskphones and describes how to enter data for
administrative options.
Procedure
1. With the exception of a touch screen deskphone, the first application line on any screen is
automatically highlighted selected when the phone displays the screen.
To select an item, press the appropriate softkey at the bottom of the screen, for example,
Change or Save, or OK . To select a different line, use the down or up navigation arrows to
change the line focus. When the desired line is highlighted, then press a softkey or OK to
select that line. For a touch screen deskphone, touching the desired line produces the
same result.
Note:
The deskphone emits an error beep if you attempt to enter invalid data.
2. If you enter a numeric digit that exceeds the maximum field value of the IP Address or
subnet mask value, that is exceeds 255, the phone emits an error beep tone. The system
ignores the digit, and the cursor does not move forward.
3. If you enter a zero followed by a numeric digit for a value, an IP Address, or a subnet mask
field, the new digit replaces the zero.
If you press star (*) and enter an IPv4 address, the system inserts a decimal point into the
input buffer and moves the cursor to the next character location. If the star (*) button is
pressed and the user is entering an IPv6 address, the system inserts a colon into the input
buffer and the cursor is moved to the next character location.
For more information on IPv4 and IPv6 format, see Entering and validating IPv4 and IPv6
addresses on page 40
4. To go back one space on non-touch screen phones, press the leftmost softkey. In case of a
touch screen deskphone, use the Bksp softkey instead.

When you press the applicable button or key to backspace, the most recently entered digit
or period is erased from the display. The cursor remains in the erased character’s former
position.
5. Press Exit or tap the softkey for a touch screen deskphone to exit the local procedures.
Important:
If any changes were made using the 802.1X procedure or the ADDR procedure, if the
value of SIG was changed to SIP or if the Crafts Entry screen was invoked during
startup, the deskphone immediately resets when you press or touch Exit. If no 802.1X,
SIG, or ADDR changes were made, or if the local procedures were invoked post-
startup, the deskphone redisplays the screen or other display that was effective when
the craft options was invoked.
Note:
If PROCSTAT has been administered to 1, you will not be able to invoke any
administrative options other than VIEW.
Note:
Some touch screen deskphones present an onscreen keyboard with which you can
type the data that you want to enter on the display. See the applicable user guide for
information about using the onscreen keyboard.

Using local Administrative Menu procedures on page 36
Entering and validating IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
The dial pad uses numeric-only entry when an IPv4 address or the subnet mask is entered. On a
touch screen use a single tap. Use an asterisk to place a period within the address being entered.
When you press star (*) on the dial pad with the cursor in one of the three fields towards the left of
the display, the following happens:
• The field where you are trying to enter a value displays a zero if no value is entered.
• If you enter a valid value a period displays. The space after the field displays a period.
• The cursor moves to the next space.
When you press star (*) with the cursor in one of the three fields to the right side of the display, the
system beeps to inidicate an error and the cursor remains in the field to the right. Pressing the “*”
button while the cursor is in the last (right most) field results in an error beep and the cursor being
left where it is. If you enter all three dots that separate the fields and if the value of each field is
valid, the IPv4 address or subnet mask is complete.
The value of a given field might be invalid when you:
• Enter a digit that makes the value of the first field of an IPv4 address exceed 255.

• Enter a digit that makes the value of the last three fields of an IPv4 address exceed 255.
• Enter a digit that makes the value of any field of a subnet mask exceed 255.
Enter an IPv6 address using only numbers on the dial pad. Use single tap for touch screen
telephones, except for 2 and 3 which are alphanumeric multitap fields. When you press 2 the
deskphone initially enters a 2, followed by A, B, C, and back to 2. When you press 3 the
deskphone initially enters a 3, followed by D, E, and back to 3. While the cursor is in any of the
leftmost seven fields, when you press the star (*) button makes the value for the field being
entered to be terminated (a zero is displayed if nothing else is), a colon to be displayed in the
space after the field, and the cursor to move to the next space. Pressing “*” while the cursor is in
the last (right most) field results in an error beep and the cursor being left where it is. An IPv6
address is considered to be complete only if all the following conditions are met:
• All seven colons that separate the fields are entered OR the text input field contains at most
one pair of consecutive colons
• If one pair of consecutive colons is present, the final field is not “1” or “01”.
• If one pair of consecutive colons is present, the address format is not “::FFFF:hhhh;hhhh”.
• The value of each field is valid. The following actions cause the value of a given field to be
considered invalid:
- Entering a digit that would cause the value of the first field of an IPv6 address to exceed
FD.
- Entering a third consecutive colon.
- Entering a second pair of consecutive colons.
In a given text entry field, if the either an IPv4 or an IPv6 address can be specified, the initial field
can be ambiguous with respect to whether the entry is an IPv4 or IPV6 address, for example, 123
might be an IPv4 123 decimal or an IPv6 0123 hex. In such cases, text entry follows the IPv6 rules
that hexadecimal characters are allowed and the “*” key inserts a colon character. If the entry is a
hex character (A-F) or a fourth character is entered in the field, the telephone accepts the input is
IPv6 format. Otherwise, the telephone makes the initial validity check when you enter a field
boundary, a colon or decimal point. This initial typographic character determines whether the
overall address must be in IPv4 format with a decimal point or in IPv6 format with a colon. Once
this character is entered, the telephone examines the contents of the first field to ensure
consistency with the field boundary. That is the absence of hex characters, and at most three
characters of value 255 or less, in the first field if the field boundary is a decimal point. If the first
field contains any content inappropriate for the entered field boundary, an error beep is generated.
You cannot enter more content until the contradiction in the text string is deleted, meaning either
the field boundary is deleted or the cursor is moved back and the field contents edited). After you
enter content that identifies the format of the IP address appropriate to IPv4 or IPv6, the rest of the
address entry conforms to that format.

Changing IP address information
About this task
Use this procedure to assign a static IP address to the deskphone.
Caution:
Static addressing is necessary when a DHCP server is unavailable. But static addressing has
room for text entry errors. So Avaya recommends that you install a DHCP server and do not
use static addressing.
Important:
IPv6 operation is limited to a specific customer set and is not for general use.

To change any of the IP
address values such as
Phone, Call Server, Router,
Mask, and File Server
Use the dial pad to enter the new IP address. IP addresses have
three sets of three digits followed by a period. Pressing star (*)
following entry of three digits causes a period to be placed in the
next position, and the cursor to advance one position to the right. If
you press the star (*) and enter an IPv6 address, a colon is inserted
into the input buffer and the cursor is moved to the next character
location. The exceptions are entry of a Router or Mask address,
which follows the IPv4 method of inserting a period rather than a
colon. For information on entry and validation of addresses in either
format, see Entering and validating IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on
page 40. For example, to enter the IP address 111.222.333.444 in
IPv4 format, press the number 1 on the dial pad three times then
press *, press the number 2 on the dial pad three times then press *,
press the 3 on the dial pad three times then press *, then press the 4
on the dial pad three times.
To enter an IP address in IPv6 format, use the dial pad in numeric-
only mode entry. Tap the desired dial pad key once for touch screen
phones, except for 2 and 3 which are alphanumeric. Use multi-tap
for touch screen phones. For example, pressing button 2 initially
enters a 2, followed by A, B, C, and back to 2. Pressing button 3
initially enters a 3, followed by D, E, F, and back to 3.
Proceed to the next step.
To change the 802.1Q
value
Use the Right navigation arrow to navigate through the text strings
corresponding to the L2Q values defined as Auto if L2Q=0, On if
L2Q=1, and Off if L2Q= 2 until the text string of the value you want
to change to displays. Proceed to the next step.
To change the VLAN ID
value
Use the dial pad to enter the new static VLAN ID of from 0 to 4094,
inclusive. Proceed to the next step.
To change the VLANTEST
value
Use the dial pad to enter the new value of the DHCPOFFER wait
period of from 0 to 999. Proceed to the next step.
4. Press Save to store the new setting and redisplay the Craft Procedures screen or Cancel
to return to the Craft Procedures screen without saving the value entered.
Once the new values are stored, the phone resets automatically.

About software distribution packages
Software distribution packages contain the files that are required for 9600 Series IP Deskphones.
These files are packaged together in a Zip format. Download the appropriate package from the
Avaya support site.
Note:
The H.323 9600 Series IP Deskphones Sonic deskphones with hardware version 3 and above
use *.bin while the 9600 Series IP Deskphones with hardware version lesser than 3 use
*.tar.
The software distribution packages contain the following:
• Software files.
• One upgrade file such as 96x1Hupgrade.txt.
• All the display text language files. For example, mlf_SB189_v78_korean.txt

• A file named av_prca_pem_2033.txt that contains a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format. You can downloaded this file to the phones
based on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter.
• Updated MIB file.
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Software Update Manager application.
The Zip distribution packages includes a signatures directory. The signatures directory contains
SHA-1 and SHA-2 signature files, and a certificate file for the Utility server.
Note:
When you download the application file from the Avaya support Web site, ensure you are
downloading the correct version. One version enables VPN and media encryption
functionality, while the other disables those functions.
Note:
Settings files are not included in the software distribution packages because the files overwrite
the existing file and settings.
Two configuration files are:
• The upgrade file, that notifies the phone to upgrade software. The phone attempts to read
this file after a reset. The upgrade file also contains directions to the settings file.
• The settings file contains the option settings that enable, disable, or otherwise customize the
settings you might need to tailor the Avaya IP phones for your enterprise.
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP deskphones.
The H.323 9600 Series IP Deskphones Sonic deskphones with hardware version lesser than 3
support SHA-2 image signatures only and therefore any upgrade from pre R6.6.1 to R 6.6.2 will be
done automatically. The H.323 9600 Series IP Deskphones Sonic deskphones with hardware
version greater than 3 support only R6.6.2 and above.

Downloading software packages
You can use the upgrade file and the application files included in the Software Distribution
Package that Avaya provides to upgrade the phones. Do not modify the upgrade files. You must
save all the essential files on your file server. When you download a new release onto a file server
that has an existing release:
1. Stop the file server.
2. Administer the required port setting in HTTPPORT or TLSPORT for HTTP or TLS,
respectively if you want to specify a port the phones must use to communicate with the file
server.

VPNACTIVE, and SIG_IN_USE.
Download the self-extracting executable file or the corresponding zip file.
6. Extract all the files.
7. Copy the 46xxsettings.txt file back into the download directory.
8. Check the Readme file for release-specific information.
9. Modify the 46xxsettings.txt file as required.
10. Restart the HTTP and the HTTPS server.
You can download the default upgrade file from http://www.avaya.com/support. With this file, the
phone uses default settings for customer-definable options.
These settings can also be changed with DHCP or in some cases, from the dial pad of the phone.
You might want to open the default file and administer the options to add useful functionality to
your Avaya IP phones. Ensure that the file resides in the same directory as the upgrade file and
named as the file as 46xxsettings.scr or 46xxsetting.txt. The Avaya IP phones can operate without
this file.
Note:
Most Windows systems interpret the file extension *.scr as a screen saver. The 4600 IP
phones originally used *.scr to indicate a script file. The settings file must have the extension
*.txt.

Contents of the settings file
The settings file can include any of six types of statements, one per line:
• Tags that are lines that begin with a single pound (#) character followed by a single space
character and a text string with no spaces.

• Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the phone to continue
interpreting the settings file at the next line after a #tag statement. If such a statement does
not exist, the rest of the settings file is ignored.
• Conditionals, of the form IF $parameter_name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals
cause the Goto command to be processed if the value of the parameter named
parameter_name exactly matches string. If no such parameter named parameter_name
exists, the entire conditional is ignored. You can use the following parameters in a conditional
statement: GROUP, MACADDR, MODEL, MODEL4, VPNACTIVE and SIG_IN_USE.
• SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. The system ignores any invalid
values for the associated parameter_name so the default or previously administered value is
retained. All values must be text strings, even if the value itself is numeric or a dotted decimal
IP Address.
• Comments, which are statements with a pound (#) character in the first column.
Note:
Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
• GET commands, of the form GET filename . If the phone downloads the file named as
filename, the phone interprets the file as an additional settings file and does not interpret
additional lines in the original file. If the phone cannot obtain the file, the telephone continues
to interpret the original file.
The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes lines that direct the phone to GET 46xxsettings.txt
and 46xxsettings.scr.
These lines cause the phone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to download the file specified in the
GET command. If the phone obtains the file, its contents are interpreted as an additional script file.
If the file cannot be obtained, the phone continues processing the upgrade script file.
The phone processes the upgrade script file so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the phone
looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the phone obtains the settings file successfully but does not
include any setting changes the phone stops using HTTP. This process happens when you initially
download the script file template from the Avaya Support website, before you make any changes.
When the settings file contains no setting changes, the phone does not go back to the upgrade
script file.
You can customize the settings file and identify non-default option settings, application-specific
parameters, and other settings. You can download a template for this file from the Avaya Support
website.
For details about specific parameter values, see Chapter 7 in the Administering 9608/9608G/
9611G/9621G/9641G/9641GS IP Deskphones H.323. Specify settings that are different from
default values, although you can also specify default values.

About this task
You must save the language files used for text entry and display purposes in the same location as
the 46xxsettings file or in the HTTP Server directory. The HTTP Server directory is defined using
the SET HTTPDIR HTTP server directory path command.
You can download a new language file version only if the filename differs from the language file
previously downloaded. Alternately, you can remove the old language file using an empty SET
LANGxFILE command in the 46xxsettings file before downloading a language file with the same
filename.

Applying settings to logical groups
You might have different communities of end users with the same phone model but requiring
different administered settings. For example, you might want to restrict Call Center agents from
logging out, an essential capability for hot-desking associates. This section provides examples of
the group settings for each of these situations.
You can separate groups of users is to associate each of them with a number. Use the GROUP
parameter for this purpose. You cannot set GROUP system value in the 46xxsettings file. The
GROUP parameter can only be set on a phone-by-phone basis. To set the GROUP parameter,
first identify which phones are associated with which group, and designate a number for each
group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default. The largest group is
assigned as Group 0.
Then, at each phone that does not have default parameters, instruct the installer or end-user to
invoke the GROUP Local Administrative Craft procedure. After the GROUP assignments are in
place, edit the configuration file to allow each phone of the appropriate group to download its
proper settings.
Here is an illustration of a possible settings file for the example of a Call Center with hot-desking
associates at the same location:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto CALLCENTER IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto HOTDESK {specify
settings unique to Group 0} goto END
# CALLCENTER {specify settings unique to Group 1} goto END
# HOTDESK {specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END {specify settings common to all Groups}

RESOLUTION: After completing call server
administration, enable On-Hook Dialing on the
Change-System-Parameters screen. If the user has
enabled Hands-Free Answer (HFA), answers a call
using the Speaker, switches to the handset, and
presses dialpad buttons, the phone does not transmit
DTMF tones. Disable HFA to hear DTMF tones.
Hands-Free Answer (HFA) is administered but
the phone did not automatically answer a call.
CAUSE: HFA only works if the phone is idle. The
phone ignores a second call if a call, including the
ringing tone is in progress.
RESOLUTION: None.
The phone does not use and ignores the HTTP or

AND the HTTP or
HTTPS server is a
LINUX or UNIX system.
CAUSE: The phone expects lines of the script file to
terminate with a . Some UNIX applications only terminate lines
with . Editing the script file with a UNIX-
based editor can strip a from
the file. Doing so causes the entire file to be treated
as a comment, and thus be ignored.

LLDP Troubleshooting
If the Waiting for LLDP message appears for more than a few seconds, the message generally
indicates a problem with getting a value for the call server IP address. This error can occur due to
incorrect settings in script files or in the way the network is configured.
On booting, the phone must obtain a valid IP address for the call cerver. The phone can obtain the
value, known as MCIPADD, from several sources:
• A static or manually programmed address on the phone.
• The 46xxsettings.txt file MCIPADD setting.
• A DHCP offer using option 242 that includes the MCIPADD setting.

• Link Layer Discovery Protocol or LLDP.
If the phone cannot find MCIPADD through any of these means, it will fail to register with the Call
Server and will display the Waiting for LLDP message several times before rebooting. For
example, if the MCIPADD value was specified in the 46xxsetting file and the network file server
fails, the phone will not be able to read the MCIPADD value or any of the 46xxsettings file
parameters. Therefore, do not use this method of providing MCIPADD.
Related links
Troubleshooting on page 69
Proposed Solution
Procedure
1. A more robust way to provide this value is to use DHCP. You can administer the DHCP
server to provide MCIPADD using DHCP Option 242. You can also administer the
TLSSRVR, HTTPSRVR and L2QVLAN parameters using this option. phones using non-
static addressing automatically use the DHCP request method. Option 242 is the default
DHCP offer and may get MCIPADD and other addresses using this way.
2. The phone displays the Waiting for LLDP message when both the HTTP and HTTPS
Server IP address are not administered. To administer the HTTP and/or HTTPS server,
use the Craft ADDR procedure and enter the correct HTTP and or HTTPS File Server IP
address in the File Server field.
3. An alternative protocol known as LLDP can also supply call server, and file server with
HTTP and HTTPS IP addresses. This IETF standard protocol requires the network to be
equipped and configured to support LLDP. You can provide HTTP and the HTTPS Server
and call server IP addresses with LLDP in the network using proprietary Transport Layer
Values (TLVs) to pass information to the phones.
LLDP setup and troubleshooting steps
Note:
If system value STATIC is set to 0 which is the default setting, the DHCP or the 46xxsettings
file might overwrite the static addresses.
Note:
See Administering 9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G/9641GS IP Deskphones H.323 for

2. Verify or set SSON to 242 which is the default value.
3. Administer the DHCP server option 242 to include MCIPADD=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the call server IP address.
4. Verify that the DHCP server and the deskphone are on the same VLAN.
5. Verify the DHCP server port 67 and or the DHCP client port 68 are not blocked on the
switch.
6. Verify the configuration of the DHCP Relay Agent on the switch or on a separate PC, for
example, MS Windows Server 2000/2003 whether the deskphones and DHCP Server are
placed on different networks or subnets. DHCP broadcast messages do not, by default,
cross the router interface.
Note:
Do not embed spaces in DHCP Option 242 strings. For more information, see DHCP

Proposed solution for script-configured deskphones
Procedure
1. Edit the 46xxsettings.txt file to contain a valid Call Server IP address with the line SET
MCIPADD xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the Call Server IP address.
2. Verify that the 96xxupgrade.txt file contains the line GET 46xxsettings.txt as the last
command line of the upgrade file.
3. Verify that the deskphone can reach the HTTP server and whether the HTTP server is
activated.
4. Verify that the 96xxupgrade.txt and 46xxsettings.txt files are placed in the proper directory
of the HTTP server to access these files.
Proposed solution for LLDP-configured deskphones
About this task
For LLDP-configured deskphones, activate the switch the deskphone is connected to for LLDP.
This is currently only possible with Extreme switches. Activating the switch for LLDP enables the
switch to send appropriate IP addresses using Avaya/Extreme Proprietary HTTP and/or HTTPS
Server and/or Call Server TLVs.
Note:
The deskphone obtains the HTTP and or HTTPS Server and Call Server IP addresses from LLDP
only if the addresses were not configured through other means such as DHCP Server, Script File,
or statically.
Note:
Set the switch LLDP repeat timer to less than 30 seconds.

• Endpoint Diagnostics
- The ability to remotely control IP phones, to assist end users with IP Phone configuration
and troubleshooting.
- The ability to remotely generate single and bulk test calls between IP phones.
- The ability to remotely execute limited packet captures on IP phones to troubleshoot and
diagnose IP phone network traffic.
• Network Monitoring
- The ability to monitor multiple network segments for performance in terms of packet loss,
jitter, and delay.
- The ability to monitor hop-by-hop QoS markings for voice and video traffic.
Note:
The root trusted certificate used for the SLA Mon™ server certificate must be added to the
trusted certificate list administered using TRUSTCERTS.
For example: SET TRUSTCERTS slamonRootCA.crt, rootCertRNAAD.cer

back-end Authentication Server before gaining network access. Applicable 9600 Series IP
deskphones support IEEE 802.1X for pass-through and for Supplicant operation with the
EAP-MD5 authentication method.
Application -
specific
Specific to a particular “application” running inside the deskphone. For example,
configuration file downloading, backup and restore of user data, HTTP push, and the Web
browser are all internal applications that use the HTTP protocol. Similarly, the RTCP and
CNA clients are internal applications that can invoke traceroute. This term does not include
Web page-based “applications” rendered in the Web browser.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol that you can use to verify that the IP address that the DHCP
server provides is not in use by another IP deskphone.
CLAN
Control LAN, a type of Gatekeeper circuit pack.
CNA
Converged Network Analyzer.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, an IETF protocol used to automate IP Address
allocation and management.
DiffServ
Differentiated Services, an IP-based QoS mechanism.
DNS
Domain Name System, an IETF standard for ASCII strings to represent IP Addresses.
DNS is a distributed Internet directory service that translates domain names and IP
Addresses. For example, 9600 Series IP Deskphones use DNS to resolve names into IP
Addresses. DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP files use DNS names wherever IP addresses are
available and a valid DNS server exists.
Gatekeeper
H.323 application that performs essential control, administrative, and managerial functions
in the media server. Sometimes called CLAN in Avaya documents.
H.323
A TCP/IP-based protocol for VoIP signaling.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol, used to request and transmit pages on the World Wide Web.
HTTPS
A secure version of HTTP.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, an organization that, among other things,
produces standards applicable to Local Area Network equipment.
IETF
Internet Engineering Task Force, the organization that produces standards for
communications on the internet.

QoS
Quality of Service, mechanisms that improve audio quality over packet-based networks.
RTCP
Real-time Transport Control Protocol.
RTP
Real-time Transport Protocol.
SRTCP
Secure Real-time Transport Control Protocol.
SRTP
Secure Real-time Transport Protocol.
System -
specific
Specific to a particular type of call server, for example, Communication Manager. “System-
specific signaling” refers to messages specific to the signaling protocol used by the system,
for example, H.323 or CCMS messages or both messages used by Communication
Manager and IP Office. “System-specific procedures” refers to deskphone software
procedures that are specific to the call server with which the software is intended to be
used.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol, a connection-oriented transport-layer protocol.
TLS
Transport Layer Security, an enhancement of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that is
compatible with SSL 3.0. Using TLS, you can ensure privacy and data integrity between
two communicating applications.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol, a connectionless transport-layer protocol.
Unnamed
Registration
A type of registration with Communication Manager in which the IP deskphone does not
need an extension. This type of IP deskphone has limited outgoing calling facility.
URI & URL
Uniform Resource Identifier and Uniform Resource Locator. Names for the strings used to
reference resources on the Internet (for example, HTTP://....). URI is the newer term.
USB
Universal Serial Bus. An industry standard used by PCs and various devices for
communication.
VLAN
Virtual LAN.
VoIP
Voice over IP, a class of technology for sending audio data and signaling over LANs.
