Introduction
4 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Releas e 1.3.5
Chapter 2:Administration Overview and
Requirements
1600 Series IP Deskphones
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones currently support the H.323 signaling protocol.
The H.323 standard provides for real time audio, video, and data communications transmission over a
packet network. An H.323 deskphone protocol stack comprises several protocols:
● H.225 for registration, admission, status (RAS), and call signaling,
● H.245 for control signaling,
● Real Time Transfer Protocol (RTP), and
● Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP)
The parameters under which the 1600 Series IP Deskphones need to operate are summarized as
follows:
● Deskphone and System Administration on the Avaya Media Server, as covered in
Chapter 4: Avaya Aura Communication Manager Administration
.
● IP address management for the deskphone, as covered in DHCP and File Servers on page 37 for
dynamic addressing. For static addressing, see the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installatio n
and Maintenance Guide.
● Tagging Control and VLAN administration for the deskphone, if appropriate, as covered in Chapter
7: Administering Deskphone Options.
● Quality of Service (QoS) administration for the deskphone, if appropriate. QoS is covered in
QoS
on page 19 and QoS on page 28.
● Interface administration for the deskphone, as appropriate. Administer the deskphone to LAN
interface using the PHY1 parameter described in Chapter 3: Network Requirements
. Administer
the deskphone to PC interface using the PHY2 parameter described in “Local Procedures” in the
Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
● Application-specific deskphone administration, if appropriate, as described in Chapter
8: Administering Applications and Options. An example of application-specific data is specifying
the extent to which users can add/edit/delete data for Contacts entries.
● Protocol administration, for example, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).
Issue 5 May 20145
Administration Overview and Requirements

Parameter Data Precedence
Note:
Parameter Data Precedence
If a given parameter is administered in multiple places, the last server to provide the parameter has
precedence. The precedence, from lowest to highest, is:
1. LLDP,
2. Manual administration, with the two exceptions described for the system parameter STATIC
page 71,
3. DHCP,
4. HTTP/HTTPS script file,
5. the Avaya Media Server, and finally,
6. Backup files, if administered and if permitted.
Settings the IP deskphone receives from backup files or the media server overwrite any previous
settings, including manual settings. The only exception to this sequence is in the case of VLAN IDs. In
the case of VLAN IDs, LLDP settings of VLAN IDs are the absolute authority. Then the usual sequence
applies through HTTP/HTTPS.
Note:For the L2QVLAN and L2Q system values, LLDP settings of VLAN IDs are the absolute
authority only if the LLDP task receives the VLAN IDs before DHCP and HTTP, and the
DHCP client of the deskphone is activated at all. If the LLDP task receives the VLAN IDs
after DHCP negotiation, several criteria must be successful before the deskphone
accepts VLAN IDs from LLDP. For more information, see Link Layer Discovery Protocol
(LLDP).
on
The Administrative Process
The following list depicts administration for a typical 1600 Series IP Deskphone network. Your own
configuration might differ depending on the servers and system you have in place.
1. LAN and applicable servers administered to accept the deskphones.
2. Deskphone software downloaded from the Avaya support site.
3. 46xxsettings file updated with site-specific information, as applicable.
4. 1600 Series Deskphones installed. For more information, see the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
5. Individual 1600 Series IP Deskphones updated using local procedures, as applicable. For more
information, see “Local Administrative Procedures” in the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Deskphone Initialization Process
These steps offer a high-level descrip tion of the information e xchanged when the deskph one initializes
and registers. This description assumes that all equipment is properly administered ahead of time. This
description can help you understand how the 1600 Series IP Deskphones relate to the routers and
servers in your network.
Step 1: Deskphone to Network
The deskphone is appropriately installed and powered. After a short initialization process, the
deskphone identifies the LAN speed and sends a message out into the network, identifying itself and
requesting further information. A router on the network receives and relays this message to the
appropriate DHCP server if the phone IP address is 0.0.0.0.
Issue 5 May 201411
Administration Overview and Requirements
Step 2: DHCP Server to Deskphone
The DHCP file server provides information to the deskphone, as described in DHCP and File
Servers on page 37. Among other data passed to the deskphone is the IP address of the HTTP or
HTTPS server.
Step 3: Deskphone and File Server
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones can download script files and settings files from either an HTTP or
HTTPS server. These deskphones can also download the application files from the HTTP server. The
deskphone queries the file server, which transmits a script file to the deskphone. This script file, at a
minimum, tells the deskphone which application file the deskphone must use. T he application file is the
software that has the telephony functionality.
The deskphone uses the script file to determine if it has the proper application file. If the deskphone
determines the proper application file is missing, the deskphone requests an application file download
from the HTTP server. The deskphone then downloads the file and conducts some checks to ensure
that the file was downloaded properly. If the deskphone determines it already has the proper file, the
deskphone proceeds as described in the next paragraph without downloading the application file again.
The deskphone checks and loads the application file, then uses the script file to look for a settings file,
if appropriate. The optional settings file can cont ain settings you have administered for any or all of the
1600 Series IP Deskphones in your network. For more information about this download process and
settings file, see Chapter 6: Deskphone Software and Application Files
.
Step 4: Deskphone and the Call Server
The call server referred to in this step is the Avaya Media Server.
In this step, the deskphone might prompt the user for an extension and password. The deskphone uses
that information to exchange a series of messages with the call server. For a new installation and for full
service, the user can enter the deskphone extension and password. For a restart of an existing
installation, this information is already stored on the deskphone, but the user might ha ve to conf irm the
information. The deskphone and the call server exchange more messaging. The expected result is that
the deskphone is appropriately registered and call server data such as featur e button assignme nts are
downloaded.
12 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Error Conditions
Note:
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones support a feature called Unnamed Registration. Unnamed
Registration allows a deskphone to register with the Avaya Media Server without an extension,
assuming the Avaya Media Server also supports this feature. To invoke Unnamed Registration, take no
action. Allow the Extension... prompt to display for 60 seconds without making an entry. The
deskphone automatically attempts to register by means of Unnamed Registration. A deskphone
registered with Unnamed Registration has the following characteristics:
● only one call appearance,
● no administrable features,
● can make only outgoing calls, subject to call server Class of Restriction/Class of Service
limitations, and
● can be converted to normal “named” registration by the user entering a valid extension and
password (that is, logging in).
Note:Unnamed Registration requires administration on the Avaya Aura Communication
Manager system.
You can also administer the deskphone to avoid unnamed registration and remain unregistered if no
extension and password are provided. For more information, see UNNAMEDSTAT
in Table 9.
For more information about the installation process, see the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
Error Conditions
Assuming proper administration, most of the problems reported by deskphone users are likely to be
LAN-based. Quality of Service, server administration, and other issues can impact user perception of
IP deskphone performance.
The Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide covers possible
operational problems that might be encountered after successful 1600 Series IP Deskphone
installation. The following User Guides also contain guidance for users having problems with specific IP

Important:
Network Assessment
Perform a network assessment to ensure that the network will have the capacity for the expected data
and voice traffic, and that it can support for all applications:
● H.323,
● DHCP,
● HTTP/HTTPS, and
● Jitter buffers
Also, QoS support is required to run VoIP on your configuration. For more information, see Appendix
B: Related Documentation and UDP Port Selection on page 28.
Hardware Requirements
To operate properly, you need:
● Category 5e cables designed to the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard, for power over Ethernet,
● For Avaya Aura Communication Manager: TN2602 IP Media Processor circuit pack. Sites with a
TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack are strongly encouraged to install a TN2602 circuit pack.
● For Avaya Aura Communication Manager: TN799C or D Control-LAN (CLAN) circuit pack.
Important:IP deskphone firmware Release 1.0 or greater requires TN799C V3 or greater CLAN
circuit pack(s). For more information, see the Avaya Aura Communication Manager Software and Firmware Compatibility Matrix on the Avaya support Web site
http://www.avaya.com/support
To ensure that the appropriate circuit pack(s) are administered on your media server, see Chapter
4: Avaya Aura Communication Manager Administration. For more information about hardware
requirements in general, see the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Issue 5 May 201415
Network Requirements
Note:
!
CAUTION:
Server Requirements
Two server types can be configured for the 1600 Series IP Deskphones:
● DHCP
● HTTP or HTTPS
Note:HTTPS does not provide all of the functionality of HTTP. For example, backup/restore is
unavailable via HTTPS, and firmware cannot be downloaded via HTTPS.
While the servers listed provide different functions that relate to the 1600 Series IP Deskphones, they
are not necessarily different boxes. For example, DHCP provides file management whereas HTTP
provides application management, yet both functions can co-exist on one hardware unit. Any
standards-based server is recommended.
For parameters related to Avaya Media Server information, see Chapter 4: Avaya Aura Communication
Manager Administration, and the administration documentation for your call server. For parameters
related to DHCP and file servers, see Chapter 5: Server Administration
.
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 DHCP file server is
unavailable when the deskphones reset, the deskphones register with the media server
and operate. Some features might not be available. To restore them you need to reset
the deskphone(s) when the file server is available.
DHCP Server
Avaya recommends that a DHCP server and application be installed and that static addressing be
avoided. Install the DHCP server and application as described in DHCP and File Servers
on page 37.
HTTP/HTTPS Server
Administer the HTTP or HTTPS file server and application as described in HTTP Generic Setup on
page 49.
16 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Required Network Information
Required Network Information
Before you administer DHCP and HTTP, and TLS, as applicable, complete the information in Table 3. If
you have more than one Gateway, HTTP/TLS server, subnetwork mask, and Gatekeeper in your
configuration, complete Table 3
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones support specifying a list of IP addresses for a gateway/router, HTTP/
HTTPS server, and Avaya Media Server Gatekeeper(s). 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 application, only 127 characters might be supported.
When specifying IP addresses for the file server or media server, use either dotted decimal format
(“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”) or DNS names. If you use DNS, the system value DOMAIN is appended to the IP

SNMP
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones are fully compatible with SNMPv2c a nd with S tructure of Manage ment
Information Version 2 (SMIv2). The deskphones respond correctly to queries from entities that comply
with earlier versions of SNMP, such as SNMPv1. “Fully compatible” means that the deskphones
respond to queries directed either at the MIB-II or the read-only Custom MIB. Read-only means that the
values therein cannot be changed externally by means of network management tools.
You can use the system value SNMPADD to restrict the IP addresses from which the deskphone
accepts SNMP queries. You can also customize your community string with the system value
SNMPSTRING. For more information, see Chapter 5: Server Administration
IP Deskphone Customizable System Parameters.
Note:As of Release 1.0, SNMP is disabled by default. Administrators must initiate SNMP by
setting the SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING system values appropriately.

Other Network Considerations
Reliability and Performance
All 1600 Series IP Deskphones respond to a ping or traceroute message sent from the DEFINITY®,
MultiVantage™, Avaya Aura Communication Manager, or Avaya Aura Communication Manager
Branch system (formerly known as Avaya Distributed Office) or any other network source. The
deskphones do not originate a ping or traceroute. The 1600 Series IP Deskphones offer and support
“remote ping” and “remote traceroute.” The switch can instruct the deskphone to originate a ping or a
traceroute to a specified IP address. The deskphone carries out that instruction and sends a message
to the switch indicating the results. For more information, see your switch administration
documentation.
If applicable, the deskphones test whether the network Ethernet switch port supports IEEE 802.1P/Q
tagged frames by ARPing the router with a tagged frame. For more information, see VLAN
Considerations on page 72. If your LAN environment includes Virtual LANs (VLANs), your router must
respond to ARPs for VLAN tagging to work properly.
QoS
For more information about the extent to which your network can support any or all of the QoS
initiatives, see your LAN equipment documentation. See QoS
on page 28 about QoS implications for
the 1600 Series IP Deskphones.
All 1600 Series IP Deskphones provide some detail about network audio quality. For more information
see, Network Audio Quality Display on 1600 Series IP Deskphones

Network Audio Quality Display on 1600 Series IP Deskphones
All 1600 Series IP Deskphones give the user an opportunity to monitor network audio performance
while on a call. For more information, see the deskphone user guide.
While on a call, the deskphones display network audio quality parameters in real-time, as shown in
Table 4
:
Table 4: Parameters in Real-Time
ParameterPossible Values
Received Audio Coding G.711, G.711u, G.711a, G.726, G.729A, or G.729B.
Packet Loss"No data" or a percentage. Late and out-of-sequence packets
are counted as lost if they are discarded. Packets are not
counted as lost until a subsequent packet is received and the
loss confirmed by the RTP sequence number.
Packetization Delay"No data" or an integer number of milliseconds. The number
reflects the amount of delay in received audio packets, and
includes any potential delay associated with the codec.
One-way Network Delay"No data" or an integer number of milliseconds. The number is
one-half the value RTCP computes for the round-trip delay.
Network Jitter
Compensation Delay
"No data" or an integer number of milliseconds reporting the
average delay introduced by the jitter buffer of the deskphone.
The implication for LAN administration depends on the values the user reports and the specific nature
of your LAN, like topology, loading, and QoS administration. This information gives the user an idea of
how network conditions affect the audio quality of the current call. Avaya assumes you have more
detailed tools available for LAN troubleshooting.
IP Address Lists and Station Number Portability
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones provide the capability to specify IP address lists. On startup or a
reboot, the deskphone attempts to establish communication with these various network elements in
turn. The deskphone starts with the first address on the respective list. If the communication is denied
or times out, the deskphone proceeds to the next address on the approp riate list and tries that one. The
deskphone does not report failure unless all the addresses on a given list fail, thereby improving the
reliability of IP telephony.
20 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Other Network Considerations
This capability also has the advantage of making station number portability easier. Assume a situation
where the company has multiple locations in London and New York, all sharing a corporate IP network.
Users want to take their deskphones from their offices in London and bring them to New York. When
users start up their deskphones in the new location, the local DHCP server usually routes them to the
local call server. With proper administration of the local DHCP server, the deskphone knows to try a
second call server IP address, this one in London. The user can then be automatically registered with
the London call server.
Chapter 5: Server Administration
contains details on administration of DHCP servers for lists of
alternate media servers, router/gateways, and HTTP/HTTPS servers. For more information, see DNS
Addressing on page 75.
TCP/UDP Port Utilization
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones use a variety of protocols, particularly TCP and UDP, to communicate
with other equipment in the network. Part of this communication identifies which TCP or UDP ports
each piece of equipment uses to support each protocol and e ach task within the pro tocol. For additional
TCP/UDP port utilization information as it applies to Avaya Aura Communication Manager, see UDP
Port Selection on page 28.
Depending on your network, you might need to know what ports or ran ges are u sed in the o peration of
1600 Series IP Deskphones. Knowing these ports or ranges helps you administer your networking
infrastructure.

Security
For information about toll fraud, see the DEFINITY®, Avaya Aura Communication Manager, or Avaya
Aura Communication Manager Branch documents on the Avaya support Web site. The 1600 Series IP
Deskphones cannot guarantee resistance to all Denial of Service attacks. However, there are checks
and protections to resist such attacks while maintaining appropriate service to legitimate users.
You also have a variety of optional capabilities to restrict or remove how crucial network information is
displayed or used. These capabilities are covered in more detail in
Chapter 5: Server Administration
● Support signaling channel encryption while registering, and when registered, with appropriately
administered Avaya Media Servers.
Note:Signaling and audio are not encrypted when unnamed registration is effective.
● Restricting the response of the 1600 Series IP Deskphones to SNMP queries to only IP addresses
on a list you specify.
● Specifying an SNMP community string for all SNMP messages the deskphone sends.
.
● Restricting dialpad access to Local Administration Procedures, such as specifying IP addresses,
with a password.
● Removing dialpad access to most Local Administration Procedures.
● Restricting the end user’s ability to use a deskphone Options application to view network data.
As of Release 1.1, three existing security-related parameters can be administered on the call server
and downloaded with encrypted signaling, in addition to unencrypted HTTP or encrypted HTTPS.
Those parameters are SNMP community string, SNMP Source IP Addresses, and Craft Access Code
(PROCPSWD).
Registration and Authentication
The Avaya Media Server supports using the extension and p assword to register a nd authenticate 1600
Series IP Deskphones. For more information, see the current version of your call server administratio n
