1600 Series IP Telephone Installation
10 1600 Series IP Telephone Installation and Maintenance Guide
The 1608 and 1616 telephones have an internal Ethernet switch that allows the telephone and
a PC to share the same LAN connection, if appropriate. Thus, 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
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 Communication Manager Release 3.0 or later software supports the 1600
Series IP Telephones, aliased as 4600 Series IP Telephones. Specifically, the 1603
should be aliased as a 4606, the 1608 should be aliased as a 4612 and the 1616
should be aliased as a 4624.
