System & Network Requirements

System Requirements

• AltiWare OE 4.5A or higher

Note:

A lower version of AltiWare may cause the IP phone to lose
several advanced features, resulting in use as a very basic
H.323 phone.

• AltiGen OE 4.5A Gatekeeper or higher (to support Plug and Play

functionality)

Network Requirements

• Network connection — the IP phone must have TCP/IP connection to

the related AltiWare system

Important:

Make sure a switch is used, rather than a hub, in the corporate

LAN.

• DHCP Server (to get dynamically IP address when necessary)

• TFTP Server (to update the IP phone firmware when necessary)

• GATEKEEPER (for Plug and Play feature)

AltiAdmin/ACM Admin Configuration 
Requirements

•

The Alti-IP 600 requires a virtual extension to be created as an IP
extension in AltiAdmin to handle call processing. Refer to the “Setting
Up IP Extensions” chapter in the AltiWare OE/ACC System
Installation & Administration Manual or ACM System Administration
Manual for detailed instructions on how to set up an IP Extension to
manage the IP phone.

•

The IP Phone settings must be pre-configured in AltiAdmin/ACM
Admin before setting up configuration for the Alti-IP 600.
