4602 SIP Telephone Administration Tools
The 4602 SIP Telephone has basic tools and capabilities to help administrators assign
operating parameters and manage telephone settings and features. They are:
●
Downloadable configuration files for setting common telephone parameters on startup,
●
DHCP for setting additional parameters or modifying current parameters,
●
Administrator’s Web interface for setting/modifying most parameters on a phone-by-phone
basis,
●
Manual programming of any critical parameters from a telephone’s dialpad, as needed,
and
●
Downloadable firmware updates (automatic for all phones and manual on a
phone-by-phone basis).
Parameters that must be set for the phone(s) to operate properly are listed in Required
Parameters in Chapter 2: Administering 4602 SIP Telephones . For a list of all operating
parameters applicable to 4602 SIP Telephones, see Appendix A: Configuration Parameters .
Administrative Approaches
An administrator can choose one or any combination of options to configure 4602 SIP
Telephones.
For example, the administrator would normally use the configuration files that are automatically
downloaded during startup to assign all 4602 SIP Telephones a common set of [default]
operating parameters. Then DHCP can assign parameters that overwrite the default values to
groups of phones, perhaps those using a specific server or within a specific department.
(
Chapter 2: Administering 4602 SIP Telephones covers setting these group parameters.) The
administrator would then use the Web interface to further configure certain parameters (for
example, a user name) for single phones within the operating environment. Finally, the
administrator or user can specify certain values, such as a password, using the telephone
dialpad. (
Chapter 3: Managing the Telephone Manually or Using the Web Interface covers the
Web interface and manual commands.)
Another administrative approach can be to use a single telephone as verification that the
system is operating properly before applying operating parameters to all phones in the system.
In this scenario, Startup copies the default values and the administrator sets any overriding
values on the phone using the Web interface (and the telephone dialpad, as applicable). After
testing that the telephone works properly, all phones in the system are configured as described
in the preceding paragraph.
