About This Guide
This guide describes how to install the 4600 Series IP Telephone product line and troubleshoot
problems with the telephones.
The 4600 Series IP Telephone product line supports two signaling protocols, the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the H.323 protocol. The chart below shows the 4600 Series IP
Telephone models and the protocol(s) they support.
Sets that support both protocols, for example, the 4610SW, do not support each protocol
simultaneously. Instead, a given telephone must be loaded with software that supports one
protocol or the other.
Telephones with H.323 software work only with Avaya Communication Manager call servers.
Telephones with SIP software can work in Avaya server environments as well as non-Avaya
server environments.
