Introduction

10 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

Chapter 2: 1600 Series IP Telephone Installation

Introduction
The 1600 Series IP Telephone product line uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet
interfaces. The IP telephones supplement the existing Avaya IP Solutions platform.
The 1600 Series IP Telephones support DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS over IPv4/UDP which
enhance the administration and servicing of the telephones. These telephones use DHCP to
obtain dynamic IP addresses, HTTP or HTTPS to download customized settings for the
telephones, and HTTP only to download the new software version.
The 1603SW, 1603SW-I, 1608, 1608-I, 1616, and 1616-I IP Telephones provide the ability to
have one IP connection on the desktop for both a telephone set and a PC using an Ethernet
switch. The 1603 and 1603-I IP Telephone do not provide a secondary Ethernet connection for
a PC.
In compliance with Australian law, the following information is provided:
This equipment shall be installed and maintained by trained service personnel. All the 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 240Vac rms to any
primary/mains circuitry and 120Vac rms to any telecommunications network circuitry). To
ensure that these conditions are adhered to, interconnect the equipment only with the
already approved/certified equipment.

1600 Series IP Telephone Installation

IP Telephone Models
There are seven telephone set models and a button module currently defined in the 1600 Series
IP Telephone family:

Model Call Appearance/ Display Size

Line Appearance/
Feature Buttons

● 1603 IP Telephone 3 2 row by 16 column display

● 1603SW IP Telephone 3 2 row by 16 column display
● 1603-I IP Telephone 3 2 row by 16 column display
● 1603SW-I IP Telephone 3 2 row by 16 column display
● 1608 IP Telephone 8 3 row by 24 column display
● 1608-I IP Telephone 8 3 row by 24 column display
● 1616 IP Telephone 16 4 row by 24 column display
● 1616-I IP Telephone 16 4 row by 24 column display
● BM32 Button Module 32 No display

The 1603SW, 1603SW-I, 1608, 1608-I, 1616, and 1616-I telephones have an internal Ethernet
switch that allows the telephone and a PC to share the same LAN connection, if appropriate.
Thus, these 1600 models do not need, or work with, the 30A switched hub interface.
This document describes the installation of these telephones and post-installation maintenance
issues. For details about using the features provided by the telephones, see the user
documentation for each telephone. For information about desk or wall mounting any of the 1600
Series IP Telephones, see the instructions boxed with the telephone. Wall or desk mount
instructions are also available on the Avaya support Web site http://www.avaya.com/support.

Software
As shipped from the factory, the 1600 Series IP Telephone may not contain the most up-to-date
software for registration and operation. When the telephone is first plugged in, a software
download from an HTTP server might be initiated. The software download gives the telephone
upgraded functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the Avaya Media Server provides the
capability for a remote restart of the IP telephone. As a consequence of restarting, the
telephone automatically restarts reboot procedures which result in a download if new software

 Pre-Installation Checklist

is available. Chapter 4: Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones covers downloading new

software releases.

Pre-Installation Checklist
Before plugging in the 1600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all the following requirements are
met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working properly and can have a negative
impact on the network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and IP telephone.

Verify These Network Requirements

1. Ensure that the LAN uses Ethernet Category 5e cabling running the IPv4 version of
Internet Protocol.
2. Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 3.0 or later software supports the
1600 Series IP Telephones, aliased as 4600 Series IP Telephones. Specifically, all
of the 1603 models should be aliased as a 4610, all of the 1608 models should be
aliased as a 4610, and all of the 1616 models should be aliased as a 4620.
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2 or later software provides native
support for the 1600 Series IP Telephones (that is, you do not have to alias the
telephones).
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch provides native support for the 1600
Series IP Telephones.
3. For Avaya Aura Communication Manager, the following circuit packs are installed
on the switch:
● TN2602 or TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack. Sites with a TN2302 IP
Media Processor circuit pack are strongly encouraged to install a TN2602
circuit pack to benefit from the increased capacity.
● TN799B, C, or D Control-LAN (CLAN) circuit pack.

!
Important:
Important: IP telephone firmware Release 1.0 or greater requires TN799C V3
or greater CLAN circuit pack(s). For more information, see the
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Software and Firmware
Compatibility Matrix on the Avaya support Web site
http://www.avaya.com/support.
4. For Avaya Aura Communication Manager, the Avaya Media Server is configured
correctly, as described in the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Administrator
Guide and Avaya Aura Communication Manager documentation. Both documents
are available at
http://www.avaya.com/support.
For Avaya Aura Communication Branch, see the Avaya Aura Communication
Manager Branch Device Manager online help.
5. The DHCP server and application are administered as described in the Avaya 1600
Series IP Deskphones Administrator Guide.

Issue 4 February 2010 13

1600 Series IP Telephone Installation

Verify These Network Requirements (continued)

6. The HTTP server and application are administered as described in the Avaya 1600
Series IP Deskphones Administrator Guide.
7. The upgrade script and application files from the Avaya Support Web site,
http://www.avaya.com/support, are loaded correctly on the HTTP/HTTPS server.
8. If applicable, the DNS server is administered as described in the Avaya 1600 Series
IP Deskphones Administrator Guide.
Notes:
- Any or all of the server applications mentioned in items 5-8 can be co-resident on the
same hardware, subject to the specific restrictions of each individual application.
- See the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Administrator Guide for more information
about:
● administering other network equipment,
● administering applications like firewalls, and
● information about topics like port utilization.
Note:

Requirements to Verify for Each IP Telephone

9. You have an extension number and an Avaya Aura Communication Manager or
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch security code (password) for each
applicable IP telephone. If your call server supports unnamed registration, and the
telephone settings file allows unnamed registration, you do not need to provide an
extension or password for the telephone. However, if you do not provide an
extension or password, the telephone will have very limited telephone functionality.
(For information, see Unnamed Registration on page 27.)
10. A Category 5e LAN jack is available at each telephone site.
11. Electrical power is provided to each telephone by a Telephone Power Module (DC
power jack) (must be ordered separately). For Power over Ethernet input
connection, use only with UL Listed I.T.E. equipment with Power over Ethernet
output. If the LAN will supply IEEE-standard power to the telephone, no power
module is required for 1608, 1608-I, 1616, and 1616-I telephones. For the 1603 and
1603-I telephones, you will need to use the Power over Ethernet adapter if the LAN
will supply IEEE-standard power to the telephone. (See Connection Jacks with
Power over Ethernet on a 1603/1603-I IP Telephone on page 17.)
12. 1 Category 5e modular line cord is available for the connection between the IP
telephone and the PC, if applicable.
13. Verify that the 1600 Series IP Telephone package includes the following
components:
● 1 telephone set with stand.
● 1 handset capable of transmitting and receiving 7KHz audio.
● 1 H4DU 9-foot long (when extended) 4-conductor coiled handset cord,
plugged into the telephone and the handset.
● 1 8.5"x11" sheet of labels
● 1600 Series IP Telephone Safety Instructions.
● 1600 Series IP Telephone Quick Reference.
You will need 1 Category 5 modular line cord for the connection from the IP
telephone to the Ethernet wall jack.

 Assembling the 1600 Series IP Telephone

Note:
Note: For sites using headsets, the 1608 IP Telephone and the 1616 IP Telephone
support only the HIS headset cords. The 1603 IP Telephone does not support
headsets.

Assembling the 1600 Series IP Telephone

! CAUTION:
CAUTION: Be careful to use the correct jack when plugging in the telephone. The jacks are
located on the back of the telephone housing and are flanked by icons to
represent their correct use.

Powering the 1600 Series IP Telephone

All 1600 Series IP Telephones can be locally powered with a Telephone Power Module (DC
power jack), available separately. The DC input rating is 5 VDC, 2A. In addition, the telephones
support IEEE 802.3af-standard LAN-based power. (To use LAN-based power with a 1603
telephone, you must use a Power over Ethernet adapter.) Before installing a 1600 Series IP
Telephone, verify with the LAN administrator whether the LAN supports IEEE 802.3af, and if so,
whether the telephone should be powered locally or by means of the LAN.
Note:
Note: The last step in assembling the 1600 Series IP Telephone must be applying
power. Apply power either by plugging the power cord into the power source
(local powering) or plugging the modular line cord into the Ethernet wall jack
(IEEE powering). Do not use the 1151 power adapter with these telephones.
Note:
Note: For Brazilian user when using the 5V power adapter:
For the user’s safety and to avoid electric shock, this equipment must be
connected to a grounded (three pin) electrical network power outlet according to
Standard NBR ABNT 5410.

Este equipamento deve ser conectado obrigatoriamente em tomada de rede de

energia eletrica que possua aterramento (tres pinos), conforme a Norma NBR

1600 Series IP Telephone Installation

1. Plug one end of the first Category 5 modular line cord into the Ethernet jack of the PC and
the other end into the secondary Ethernet jack on the 1600 Series IP Telephone,
if appropriate.
2. Plug one end of the second Category 5 modular line cord into the Ethernet jack on the 1600
Series IP Telephone. Plug the other end of this cord into the Ethernet wall jack. If the
telephone is to be IEEE-powered, you are finished. Do not proceed to Step 3.
3. If the telephone is to be powered locally, plug the power cord into the 1600 Series IP
Telephone and the power cord plug into the wall socket.

Dynamic Addressing Process

Note:
Note: Before starting this process you must have an extension number for the IP
telephone and the Avaya Aura Communication Manager security code
(password) for that extension, unless the telephone will use unnamed
registration. For more information, see Unnamed Registration on page 27.

Any reference to the HTTP server applies equally to an HTTPS server.

The following description of the process of installing the IP telephones assumes that the
process is executed successfully. Only an initial out of the box installation is described. For
errors that might be encountered during the process and the messages displayed, see
Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Guidelines.
When you plug the IP telephone set into the Ethernet wall jack and apply power, if applicable,
the following process takes place.
Note:
Note: If the application has already been downloaded, the whole process takes
approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the telephone is plugged in. For software
upgrades, including the boot file and application file download, the process might
take 5 - 10 minutes. The duration is based on LAN loading, how many telephones
are being installed at once, and similar factors.

Do not unplug the power cord during the download process.

1. The telephone activates the Ethernet line interface, the PC Ethernet jack, and dial pad input
to allow the invocation of procedures. The activation occurs as soon as possible after
power-up or a reset.
The telephone displays the speed of the Ethernet interface in Mbps, that is,
10 or 100. The message No Ethernet displays until the software determines whether the
interface is 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.

24 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

 Dynamic Addressing Process

Note:
Note: The Ethernet speed indicated is the LAN interface speed for both the telephone
and any attached PC, assuming the administrator has not disabled the latter
interface by a PHY2STAT setting.
2. The IP telephone sends a request to the DHCP server and invokes the DHCP process.
One of the following messages display:

DHCP: s secs DHCP: s secs DHCP: s secs

* to program VLAN ID = n

where s is the number of seconds that have elapsed since DHCP was invoked. The
message on the left appears if 802.1Q tagging is off and access to local programming
procedures is not disabled or restricted. (See Chapter 3: Local Administrative Options for
specifics.) The middle message appears if 802.1Q tagging is on and access to local
programming procedures is disabled or restricted. If the left and middle messages alternate
every two seconds, 802.1Q tagging is on. When both messages alternate, access to local
programming procedures is not disabled or restricted. Finally, the message on the right
appears if 802.1Q tagging is off and access to local programming procedures is disabled or
restricted.
3. The DHCP server provides IP addresses for the following hardware:
● The IP telephone
● The HTTP/HTTPS server
● The TN799C or D Control-LAN (CLAN) circuit pack on the media server
4. Using the list of gateway IP addresses provided by the DHCP server, the telephone
performs a router check. The telephone cycles through the gateway IP addresses with
ARPs or pings until it receives a response. When the router is located, the HTTP/HTTPS
process starts.
5. While the IP telephone connects to the HTTP/HTTPS server, the telephone displays the
following message:

HTTP:n ipadd

where n is the number of the IP address obtained from the HTTP/HTTPS server and ipadd
is the IP address.
6. When connected, the telephone looks for an upgrade script file.

Issue 4 February 2010 25

1600 Series IP Telephone Installation

7. The HTTP/HTTPS server sends and identifies an upgrade script.

The GET message might have to be sent several times. Each time the GET message is
sent, all IP telephones display one of the following messages:

HTTP: n uri

For HTTP, n is the number of HTTP requests made by the telephone and uri is the URI for
the current HTTP request.
8. While the upgrade script file is being downloaded, all IP telephones 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.
9. While the application file is saved in flash memory, all IP telephones display the following
message:

Saving to flash
1%, 1 secs

with the percentage of the file and the number of elapsed seconds incremented as the
application file is stored in flash memory.
10. The telephone contacts the Avaya Media Server and attempts to log in.
All IP telephones display the following prompts for an extension:

Enter Extension
EXT= #=OK

26 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

 Unnamed Registration

11. Enter a new extension and press OK. To register the telephone without the extension or
password (unnamed), press only OK or make no entry and wait 60 seconds.
Note:
Note: Unnamed registration is the capability to register a telephone with the call server
without entry of an extension or password. The UNNAMEDSTAT parameter must
be set to enable unnamed registration. Telephones registered unnamed have
limited functionality. For more information, see Unnamed Registration.
All IP telephones display the following prompt for a password:

Login
Enter Password
Enter Password and press Enter or OK

12. Enter the password and press OK. To register the telephone without the extension or
password (unnamed), press OK or make no entry and wait 60 seconds.
13. The extension is visible as you enter it but the password displays as asterisks. The system
determines whether the extension is in use.
14. Successful completion of this process produces a dial tone when the Speaker button is
pressed or the handset is lifted.
The IP telephone was installed successfully.

Unnamed Registration
Unnamed registration is a capability an IP telephone can have to register with a call server, and
receive limited service, without requiring an extension and password entry. Typical
environments where this functionality is useful include:
● “Hot-desking” environments where there is a period of time between one user logging out
and another user logging in on the same telephone.
● Using the Avaya Softphone application in “road warrior” mode, which allows a traveller to
invoke the telephony features and functionality by taking over the office telephone
extension. This takeover unregisters the office telephone.
In both examples, the user unregisters the telephone by logging off or by taking the office
telephone extension over to another telephone. Without unnamed registration, the telephone in
the first example will just wait for an extension and password entry and the telephone in the
second example will continue attempting to register at regular intervals. The downside of a
telephone being unregistered is that no one can use the telephone, for example, to report a
building emergency like a fire.

Issue 4 February 2010 27

1600 Series IP Telephone Installation

Unnamed registration allows the telephone to register 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.
● Extension-based information, like a given user’s Contacts data or Option settings are not
available.
● 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.
Unless otherwise disabled, the telephone automatically attempts to register unnamed if no
action is taken on the telephone Extension entry screen within 60 seconds. Initiating any ID or
password entry disables and prevents unnamed registration from occurring. Unnamed
registration is ignored after any dialpad entry.
Administrators can disable unnamed registration by appropriately administering the system
parameter UNNAMEDSTAT, as indicated in Chapter 7 of the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones
Administrator Guide. Unnamed registration appears to the end user like Avaya Aura
Communication Manager TTI Mode, and is similar from an administration perspective. For more
information about TTI, see your Avaya Aura Communication Manager documentation.

Printing Button Labels

You can download software from www.desi.com that enables you to print button labels for the
1600 series telephones. To download this software, perform the following steps:
1. Using your web browser, go to www.desi.com.
2. Click DESI downloads.
3. Download the appropriate application.
If you are using Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch, you can export the button
settings from Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch Device Manager and import the
settings into the DESI application. For more information, see the Avaya Aura Communication
Manager Branch Device Manager online help.

28 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

Chapter 3: Local Administrative Options

Introduction
After you have successfully installed an IP telephone, you might be instructed to administer one
of the options described in this chapter.
Note:
Note: You can modify the settings file to set parameters for IP telephones that
download their upgrade script and application files from the same HTTP server.
See Chapter 4: Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones and “1600 Series IP
Telephone Scripts and Application Files” in Chapter 4 of the Avaya 1600 Series
IP Deskphones Administrator Guide.

! CAUTION:
CAUTION: 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 than if

they are administered dynamically. Values assigned to options in static
administration are not changed by upgrade scripts. These values remain stored
in the telephone until either:
- a new boot file is downloaded, or
- the IP telephone is reset, as indicated in Reset System Values on page 48.
Use these option-setting procedures only with static addressing and, as always, only
if instructed by the system or LAN administrator. Do not use these option-setting
procedures if you are using DHCP. DHCP is the Dynamic Addressing Process, as
indicated in Dynamic Addressing Process on page 24.

Local Administrative Options

Entering Data for Administrative Options

This section applies to all 1600 Series IP Telephones and describes how to enter data for
administrative options.
1. Invoke all local procedures by pressing the Mute button, up to 7 numeric dial pad buttons,
and the # button.
A 6-second timeout is in effect between button presses after pressing the Mute button. If
you do not press a valid button within 6 seconds of pressing the previous button, the
collected digits are discarded. In this case, no administrative option is invoked.
2. Attempts to enter invalid data are rejected, and the telephone emits an error beep.
3. If you enter a numeric digit for a value or for an IP address or subnet mask field after
entering only a zero, the new digit replaces the zero.
4. Press the # button to go to the next step.
5. To backspace, press the leftmost softkey. 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.
6. If PROCPSWD is administered as indicated in Chapter 7 of the Avaya 1600 Series IP
Deskphones Administrator Guide, you must type the Local Procedure password after
pressing Mute and before pressing the code for your given local programming option.
Note:
Note: If PROCSTAT has been administered to 1, you will not be able to invoke any
administrative options other than V I E W.

Pre-Installation Checklist for Static Addressing

Before performing static addressing, verify that all the requirements listed in the Verify These
Network Requirements section of the Pre-Installation Checklist are met. You do not have to
consider item 4. on page 13, as it refers to the DHCP server. In addition, you must have the
values for the following parameters. Failure to do so can cause data entry errors that prevent
the telephone from working. Such errors can also have a negative impact on your network. Print
copies of this checklist for each subnet.

1. The IP address of the media server.

2. The transport layer port number of the address of the Management Complex
(media server/gatekeeper). Although this can be a value between 0 and 65535,
the default value is 1719. Do not change this value unless it conflicts with an
existing port assignment.

3. The IP address of the gateway/router.

4. The IP netmask.

5. The IP address of the HTTP server.

34 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

 Static Addressing Installation

Static Addressing Installation

The usual way to assign IP addresses to IP telephones is the automatic method described in
Dynamic Addressing Process on page 24. There might be times, however, when manual
assignment of IP addresses is desired.

! CAUTION:
CAUTION: Static addressing is necessary when a DHCP server is unavailable.

Because of the increased opportunities for text entry errors associated with static
addressing, we very strongly recommend that a DHCP server be installed and
static addressing avoided.
Use the following procedure to invoke manual address information programming.
1. Start manual address programming by performing one of the following steps:
a. During normal DHCP processing, press the * key while “* to program“ displays during
the DHCP process.

 Clear Procedure

Clear Procedure
Sometimes, you might want to remove all administered values, user-specified data, and option
settings. Essentially, you want to return a telephone to its initial “clean slate” or out of the box
condition. This is usually done when passing a telephone to a new, dedicated user when the
user’s L O G O F F option is not sufficient. For example, a new user is assigned the same
extension, but requires different permissions than the previous user.
The C L E A R option erases all administered data—static programming, file server and call
server programming, and user settings including Contact button labels and locally programmed
Feature button labels, and restores all such data to default values. The C L E A R option does
not affect the software load itself. If you have upgraded the telephone, the telephone retains the
latest software. Once you have cleared a telephone, you can administer it normally.

! CAUTION:
CAUTION: This procedure erases all administered data, without any possibility of recovering
the data.
Use the following procedure to clear the telephone of its administrative, user-assigned and
options values.
1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the
faceplate of the telephone:
Mute 2 5 3 2 7 # (Mute C L E A R #)
Note:
Note: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this button while pressing other

Chapter 4: Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones

Introduction
This chapter covers the maintaining the 1600 Series IP Telephones, for example, downloading
a new telephone software version from the Avaya support Web site. Note that the
recommended configuration is the latest call server software and the latest IP telephone
firmware.

Downloading Software Upgrades

The software releases containing the files needed to operate the 1600 Series IP Telephones are
bundled together in a self-extracting executable file you download to your file server from the
Avaya support Web site at: http://www.avaya.com/support. The self-extracting executable file
comes in both zipped and unzipped format.
Currently, you have one “bundle” to download. That bundle contains:
● An upgrade script file and a settings file, which allow you to upgrade to new software
releases and new functionality without having to replace IP telephones.
● Application files for all current 1600 Series IP Telephones.
● Other useful information such as a ReadMe file and a settings file template to customize
parameters and settings.

Download File Content

Two configuration files on the file server are important to understand. Other files are
needed when the Avaya IP Telephones need an upgrade. The important files are:
● An upgrade script file, which tells the IP telephone whether the telephone needs to
upgrade software. The Avaya IP Telephones attempt to read this file whenever they reset.
The upgrade script file is also used to point 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 Telephones for your enterprise.

Issue 4 February 2010 53

Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones

Note:
Note: You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP Telephones including the 1600
Series IP Telephone, 9600 Series IP Telephones, and 4600 Series IP
Telephones.
In addition to the upgrade script and settings files, you need the latest binary code used in the
Avaya IP Telephones.

Download Procedure
The Avaya-provided upgrade script files and the binaries included in the zip files upgrade the
Avaya IP Telephones. You should not need to modify them. It is essential that all the binary files
be together on the file server. When downloading a new release onto a file server with an
existing release already on it, we recommend that you:
● Stop the file server.
● Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
● Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file to a backup location.
● Remove all the files in the download directory. This ensures that you do not have an
inappropriate binary or configuration file on the server. The only system values that can be
used in the Conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP, and SIG.
● Download the self-extracting executable file, or the corresponding zip file.
● Extract all the files.
● Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file back into the download directory.
● Check the Readme files for release-specific information.
● Modify the 46xxsettings.txt file as desired.
● Restart the HTTP/HTTPS server.
● Reset your Avaya IP Telephones.
You can download a default upgrade script file, sometimes called merely the “script file,” from
http://www.avaya.com/support. This file allows the telephone to use default settings for
customer-definable options. Of course, these settings can also be changed with DHCP or in
some cases, from the telephone’s dialpad itself. However, you might want to open the default
file and administer the options to add useful functionality to your Avaya IP Telephones. This file
must reside in the same directory as the upgrade script file, and must be called
46xxsettings.scr or 46xxsettings.txt. The Avaya IP Telephones can operate without this file.
Note:
Note: Most Windows systems interpret the file extension *.scr as a screen saver. The
4600 IP Telephones originally used *.scr to indicate a script file. We highly
recommend that the settings file have the extension *.txt.

54 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

 Downloading Software Upgrades

The settings file can include any of the five types of statements, one per line:
● Comments, which are statements with a “#” character in the first column.
● Tags, which are comments that have exactly one space character after the initial #,
followed by a text string with no spaces.
● Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the telephone to
continue interpreting the settings file at the next line after a # tag statement. If no such
statement exists, the rest of the settings file is ignored.
● Conditionals, of the form IF $name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals cause the Goto
command to be processed if the value of name is a case-insensitive equivalent to string.
If no such name exists, the entire conditional is ignored.
● SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. Invalid values cause the
specified value to be ignored 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, a dotted decimal IP address, etc.
Note:
Note: Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
The Avaya-provided upgrade script file includes lines that tell the telephone to GET
46xxsettings.scr and 46xxsettings.txt. These lines cause the telephone to use HTTP/HTTPS
to attempt to download the file specified in the GET command. If the file is obtained, its contents
are interpreted as an additional script file. That is how your settings are changed from the
default settings. If the file cannot be obtained, the telephone continues processing the upgrade
script file. The upgrade script file is processed so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the
telephone looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the settings file is successfully obtained but does
not include any setting changes the telephone stops using HTTP. This happens when you
initially download the script file template from the Avaya support Web site, before you make any
changes. When the settings file contains no setting changes, the telephone does not go back to
the upgrade script file.
You can change the settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding
GET command in the upgrade script file. However, we encourage you not to alter the
Avaya-provided upgrade script file. If Avaya changes the upgrade script file in the future, any
changes you have made will be lost. We strongly encourage you to use the 46xxsettings file to
customize your settings instead.
For more details on customizing your settings file, see Contents of the Settings File on page 56.

Issue 4 February 2010 55

Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones

Contents of the Settings File

After checking the application software, the 1600 Series IP Telephone looks for a 46xxsettings
file. This optional file is under your control and is where you can identify non-default option
settings, application-specific parameters, etc. You can download a template for this file from the
Avaya support Web site. An example of what the file could look like follows.
Note:
Note: The following is intended only as a simple example. Your settings will vary from
the settings shown. This sample assumes specification of a DNS Server, turning
off enhanced local dialing, and a Web Browser.
SET DNSSRVR dnsexample.yourco.com
SET ENDIALSTAT 0
SET WMLHOME http://yourco.com/home.wml
SET WMLPROXY 11.11.11.11
See Chapter 7 in the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Administrator Guide for
details about specific values. You need only specify settings that vary from defaults,
although specifying defaults is harmless.

Downloading Language Files

Language files must be stored in the same location as the 46xxsettings file or under the HTTP
Server directory, 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.

Downloading Font Files for 1600 Series International Telephones

The font file must be stored in the same location as the 46xxsettings file or under the HTTP
Server directory, defined using the SET HTTPDIR_HTTP server directory path command.
You can download a new font tile version only if the filename differs from the font file previously
downloaded. Alternately, you can remove the old font file using an empty SET FONTFILE
command in the 46xxsettings file before downloading a font file with the same filename.

56 Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide

 The GROUP System Value

The GROUP System Value

You might have different communities of end users, all of which have the same model
telephone, but which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to
restrict Call Center agents from being able to Logoff, which might be an essential capability for
“hot-desking” associates. We provide examples of the group settings for each of these
situations later in this section.
The simplest way to separate groups of users is to associate each of them with a number. Use
the GROUP system value for this purpose. The GROUP system value cannot be set in the
46xxsettings file. The GROUP system value can only be set on a telephone-by-telephone basis.
To do so, first identify which telephones 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,
meaning your largest group would be assigned as Group 0.
Then, at each non-default telephone, instruct the installer or end-user to invoke the GROUP
Local (dialpad) Administrative procedure as specified in Chapter 3: Local Administrative
Options and specify which GROUP number to use. Once the GROUP assignments are in place,
edit the configuration file to allow each telephone 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}

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Guidelines

Introduction
This chapter describes problems that might occur during both installation and normal operation
of the 1600 Series IP Telephone and possible ways of resolving these problems.
This chapter contains the following sections:
● Descriptions of error conditions and methods for resolving them.
● The use of the V I E W option to view system values.
● Error and status messages, and methods for resolving them.

Error Conditions
There are three areas where installers can troubleshoot problems before seeking assistance
from the system or LAN administrator:
1. Check both the power and Ethernet wiring for the following conditions:
● Whether all components are plugged in correctly.
● Check LAN connectivity in both directions to all servers - DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, Avaya
Aura Communication Manager or Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch.
● If the telephone is supposed to be powered from the LAN, ensure that the LAN is
properly administered and is compliant with IEEE 803.3af.
2. If you are using static addressing:
● Use the View command to find the names of the files being used and verify that these
filenames match those on the HTTP/HTTPS server. See The View Administrative
Option on page 60 for more information. Check the Avaya Web site to verify whether the
correct files are being used.
● Use the ADDR option to verify IP addresses. See Static Addressing Installation on
page 35 for information.
3. If the 1600 Series IP Telephone is not communicating with the system (DHCP, HTTP, or
Avaya Media Server), make a note of the last message displayed, as described in Table 2
and/or Table 3. Consult the system administrator.
4. If you expect the telephone to be IEEE-powered, verify with the LAN administrator that IEEE
power is indeed supported on the LAN.

Issue 4 February 2010 59

Troubleshooting Guidelines

DTMF Tones
H.323 telephones do not send DTMF tones to non-H.323 telephones. The failure to hear DTMF
tones sent by a far-end 1600 Series IP Telephone does not require any action on the user’s
part. The TN2302AP board does not pass in-band DTMF tones.

Power Interruption
If power to a 1600 Series IP Telephone is interrupted while the telephone is saving the
application file, the HTTP/HTTPS application can stop responding. If this occurs, restart the
HTTP/HTTPS server.

The View Administrative Option

If you are using static addressing and encounter problems, use the following procedure to verify
the current values of system parameters and file versions.
Note:
Note: Unless otherwise prevented using administration, the user can view but not
change most of the parameters associated with Local Administrative Procedures.
For more information about this option, see the applicable user guide(s).
Note:
Note: If the View Network Information option is not available due to being disabled by
administration, use the ADDR option to view IP addresses. See Static
Addressing Installation in Chapter 3: Local Administrative Options. The IP
addresses might have been entered incorrectly. Verify whether you were
provided with correct IP addresses.
1. While the telephone is on-hook and idle, press the following sequence of keys on the
faceplate of the telephone:
Mute 8 4 3 9 # (Mute V I E W #)
Note:
Note: Press the Mute button momentarily. Do not press this key while pressing other

 Installation Error and Status Messages

Installation Error and Status Messages

The 1600 Series IP Telephones issue messages in English only. The IP telephones also display
messages from the switch, which can issue messages in the local language outside the United
States. The 1600 Series IP Telephones issue messages in the currently selected language, or if
the telephone is logged off, in the language specified by the LANGSYS parameter value. If
English is not the selected language, the telephone displays messages in English only when
they are associated with local procedures, for example, MUTE V I E W.
Most of the messages in Table 2 display only for about 30 seconds, and then the telephone
resets. The most common exception is Extension in Use, which requires manual
intervention.

Table 2: Possible Error and Status Messages During Installation of 1600 Series IP
Telephones
Message Cause/Resolution
802.1X Failure CAUSE: Incorrect credentials provided for authentication or not
provided at all.
RESOLUTION: Follow the display prompts and reenter the 802.1X ID
and password.
Address CAUSE: The telephone has detected an IP address conflict.
Conflict RESOLUTION: Verify administration to identify duplicate IP
address(es).
Bad FileSv CAUSE: The HTTP/HTTPS server IP address in the IP telephone’s
Address memory is all zeroes.
RESOLUTION: Depending on the specific requirements of your
network, this may not be an error. If appropriate, either administer the
DHCP server with the proper address of the HTTP/HTTPS server, or
administer the telephone locally using the ADDR option. The ADDR
option is explained in Chapter 3: Local Administrative Options.
Bad Router? CAUSE: The telephone cannot find a router based on the information in
the DHCP file for GIPADD.
RESOLUTION: Use static addressing to specify a router address, or
change administration on DHCP, as indicated in the 1600 Series IP
Telephone Administrator Guide.
Call Error CAUSE: The user was on a call when the connection to the gatekeeper
went down, perhaps due to a network outage or a gatekeeper problem.
The telephone attempted to automatically register with the same, or
another, gatekeeper, but the responding gatekeeper had no record of
the call.
RESOLUTION: Wait for the call to end, and if the telephone does not
automatically register, restart the telephone.
Contacting call CAUSE: The telephone has rebooted successfully and is moving on to
server... attempt to register with the call server.
RESOLUTION: Allow the telephone to continue.

scenario, it is discovered that sufficient information has not been downloaded. The
following message displays while the DHCP process is invoked:

DHCP: 0 secs
* to program

The number of elapsed seconds is incremented once per second, until DHCP successfully
completes.
While the IP telephone establishes a TCP connection to the HTTP server, the telephone
displays the following message:

HTTP:n ipadd

where n is the number of the IP address obtained from the HTTP server and ipadd is the IP
address.
The following message displays while the HTTP process is invoked:

HTTP: n uri

The number increments once per second, until the HTTP server responds.
While the upgrade script file is being downloaded from the HTTP server, all IP telephones
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.
The script file is processed. The software determines that the name of the boot code file in
the telephone (BOOTNAME) is the latest version, and the name of the application file in the
telephone is the same as APPNAME.
System-specific registration with the Avaya media server is invoked.
When registration finishes, a dial tone is available on the telephone.

Terms Used in This Guide

802.1P 802.1Q defines a layer 2 frame structure that supports VLAN identification and a QoS
802.1Q mechanism usually referred to as 802.1P.
802.1X Authentication method for a protocol requiring a network device to authenticate with a
back-end Authentication Server before gaining network access. Applicable 1600
Series IP Telephones support IEEE 802.1X for pass-through and for Supplicant
operation with the EAP-MD5 authentication method.
ARP Address Resolution Protocol, used, for example, to verify that the IP address
provided by the DHCP server is not in use by another IP telephone.
CLAN Control LAN, type of Gatekeeper circuit pack.
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. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed Internet directory
service. DNS is used mostly to translate between domain names and IP addresses.
Avaya 1600 Series IP Telephones can use DNS to resolve names into IP addresses.
In DHCP, TFTP, and HTTP files, DNS names can be used wherever IP addresses
were available as long as a valid DNS server is identified first.
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.
IETF Internet Engineering Task Force, the organization that produces standards for
communications on the internet.
LAN Local Area Network.
MAC Media Access Control, ID of an endpoint.
QoS Quality of Service, used to refer to several mechanisms intended to improve audio
quality over packet-based networks.
Unnamed Registration with Avaya Aura Communication Manager by an IP telephone with no
Registration extension. Allows limited outgoing calling.
TLS Transport Layer Security, an enhancement of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). TLS is
compatible with SSL 3.0 and allows for privacy and data integrity between two
communicating applications.
Unnamed Registration with Avaya Aura Communication Manager by an IP telephone with no
Registration extension. Allows limited outgoing calling.
VLAN Virtual LAN.
