Avaya 9600 Series Administering

Server requirements
You can configure three types of servers for 9600 Series IP Deskphones:
• DHCP server: Avaya recommends that you install a DHCP server and do not use static
addressing. Install the DHCP server as described in
Administering the DHCP and File
Servers on page 50.
• HTTP or HTTPS server:Administer the HTTP or HTTPS file server as described in
HTTP
Generic Setup on page 58.
• Web and Push servers (optional): If users have access to corporate WML web sites,
administer the deskphones as described in
Server Administration on page 50. For push
functionality, you need a Trusted Push Server. The Trusted Push Server can be the same
server as your WML server. Avaya recommends that you restrict access to folders on the
WML server that contain push content.
Note:
The system supports Push only in IPv4 mode. Your Web and push server configuration
must be compatible with the requirements mentioned in the Avaya IP Deskphone Edition
for 9600 IP Telephones Application Programmer Interface (API) Guide, 16-600888.
While the servers listed provide different functions that relate to the 9600 Series IP Deskphones,
the servers are not necessarily different boxes. For example, DHCP provides file management
whereas HTTP provides application management, yet both functions can coexist on one hardware
unit. Use any standards-based server.
For parameters related to Avaya Server information, see
Communication Manager
Administration on page 39, and the administration documentation for your call server. For
parameters related to DHCP and file servers, see Server Administration on page 50.
Caution:
The deskphones obtain important information from the script files on the file server and
depend on the application file for software upgrades. If the file server is unavailable when the
deskphones reset, the deskphones operate based on the default administration and continue
with the call server registration process. Not all features are available. To restore the features,
you must reset the deskphones when the file server is available.
Required network information
Before you administer DHCP, HTTP, and the HTTPS servers, collect the following network
information. If you have more than one gateway (router), HTTP/HTTPS server, or call server in
your configuration, complete the required network information for each DHCP server before you
install the phones.
The 9600 Series IP Deskphones support specifying a list of IP addresses for a gateway/router,
HTTP or HTTPS server, and Avaya call servers. Each list can contain up to 255 total ASCII
characters, with IP addresses separated by commas with no intervening spaces. Depending on
the specific DHCP server, the phone might support only 127 characters.
