About This Guide

This guide is for personnel who administer Avaya Aura™ Communication Manager, Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch (formerly known as Avaya Distributed Office), DHCP, HTTP/HTTPS servers for Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones, a Local Area Network (LAN), or a Web server.
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet line interfaces and support the H.323 protocol only . The 1600 Series IP Deskphones provide support for DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS over IPv4, which enhances the administration and servicing of the deskphones. These deskphones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP Addresses, and HTTPS or HTTP to download new versions of software or customized settings for the deskphones.
CAUTION: Avaya does not support many of the products mentioned in this document. Take care to
ensure that there is adequate technical support available for servers used with any 1600 Series IP Deskphone system. If the servers are not functioning correctly, the 1600 Series IP Deskphones might not operate correctly.

Supported on the 1603, 1603-I, 1603SW, 1603SW-I, 1608, 1608-I, 1616, and 1616-I IP
Deskphones only. This package will not load or operate on any other models.
Avaya recommends that all the customers upgrade both new and installed 1600 Series IP
Deskphones to this version at their earliest convenience.

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.

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).

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 2014 11
Page 18
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.

Page 19

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.

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.

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 addresses you specify. If DOMAIN is null, the DNS names must be fully qualified, in accordance with IETF RFCs 1034 and 1035. For more information about DNS, see DHCP Generic Setup and DNS Addressing
on page 75.

Other Network Considerations

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.

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
Parameter Possible 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
Page 27
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 manual.

Call Server Requirements

Before you perform administration tasks, ensure that the proper hardware is in place, and your call server software is compatible with the 1600 Series IP Deskphones. Av aya recommends the latest PBX software and the latest IP deskphone firmware.

Switch Compatibility and Aliasing IP Deskphones

As of Release 1.1, 1600 Series IP Deskphones were natively supported by Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2. Native support means that if you have Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2, you:
do not have to alias 1600 Series IP Deskphones,
can add up to two BM32 Button Modules on each 1616 Series IP Deskphone, and
can administer a call coverage deskphone number on a station-by-station basis.
If you have Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.1 or earlier, you must alias the deskphones as follows:
1600 Series Deskphone Model
1603 4610 Avaya Aura Communication
1603-I 4610 Avaya Aura Communication

The 1603, 1603SW, 1603-I, and 1603SW-I IP Deskphones support three administrable call appearances or feature buttons. The 1608 and 1608-I IP Deskphones support eight administrable call appearances or feature buttons. The 1616 and 1616-I IP Deskphones support 16 administrable call appearances or feature buttons. In addition, the 1616/1616-I IP Deskphones support the BM32 Button Module. The 1616/1616-I always support a single BM32, and with Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2 or later, support up to two BM32 Button Modules per deskphone.
Note: Using one BM32 can be supported by PoE. If you use a second button module, you must
use the Avaya approved external auxiliary 5V power supply for the 1616/1616-I IP Deskphone. While the auxiliary power supply can support up to three BM32 button modules, Communication Manager Release 5.2 can only configured to support up to two BM32.
The BM32 Button Module provides another 32 administrable call appearances and features. When attached to a 1616/1616-I IP Deskphone that is aliased as a 4620, the first 16 administered call appearances and features are placed directly on the deskphone, and the next 32 administered call appearances and features are placed on the button module, for a total of 48 administrable buttons.
For more information about aliasing one deskphone model as another, see “Using an Alias” in the Administrator Guide for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document 03-300509).
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch systems provide native support for the 1600 Series Deskphones. See the Avaya Aura Communication Branch Device Manager online help for more information.

Media Server (Switch) Administration
If you are using the 1600 Series IP Deskphones with Avaya Aura Communication Manager, see the following documents on the Avaya support Web site for information about specific switch administration:
The Administrator Guide for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document 03-300509)
provides detailed instructions for administering an IP deskphone system on Avaya Aura Communication Manager. See Chapter 3 “Managing Deskphones,” which describes the process of adding new deskphones. Also, you can locate pertinent screen illustrations and field descriptions in Chapter 19 “Screen References” of that guide.
Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document
Number 555-233-504) provides detailed information about swit ch administration for your network.
If you are using the 1600 Series IP Deskphones with Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch, see the Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch Device Manager online help for information about specific switch administration.

IP Interface and Addresses

If you are using the 1600 Series IP Deskphones with Avaya Aura Communication Manager, follow these general guidelines:
Define the IP interfaces for each CLAN and Media processor circuit pack on the switch that uses
the IP Interfaces screen. For more information, see Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document 555-233-504).
On the Customer Options form, verify that the IP Stations field is set to “y” (Yes). If it is not,
contact your Avaya sales representative. The IP Softphone field does not have to be set to “y” (Yes).
If you are using the 1600 Series IP Deskphones with Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch, see the Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch Device Manager online help for information about administering these deskphones.

Important:

UDP Port Selection

The 1600 Series IP Deskphones can be administered from the Avaya Aura Communication Manager Network Region form to support UDP port selection. Locate specific port assignment diagrams in the 1600 IP Deskphone Installation and Maintenance Guide. For information about Avaya Aura Communication Manager implementation, see Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document Number 555-233-504) on the Avaya support Web site.
Administer the switch to use a port within the proper range for the specific LAN, and the IP deskphone(s) copy that port. If no UDP port range is administered on the switch, the IP deskphone uses an even-numbered port, randomly selected from the interval 4000 to 10000.

RSVP and RTCP

Avaya IP Deskphones implement the Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) administered from the media server and the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP). The Avaya Voice over IP (VoIP) Monitoring Manager (VMON) software can then provide real-time monitoring and historical data of audio quality f or VoIP calls.
The only way to change these parameters is by appropriate switch administration. For more information, see your Avaya Media Server administration documentation and Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document Number 555-233-504).
QoS
The 1600 Series IP Deskphones support both IEEE 802.1P/Q and DiffServ. Other network-based QoS initiatives such as UDP port selection do not require support by the deskphones. However, they contribute to improved QoS for the entire network.

IEEE 802.1P and 802.1Q

The 1600 Series IP Deskphones can simultaneously support receipt of packets using, or not using,
802.1Q parameters. To support IEEE 802.1P/Q, you can administer 1600 Series IP Deskphones from the network by appropriate administration of the DHCP or HTTP/HTTPS servers, or by using dialpad input at the deskphone.
Important: Avaya Aura Communication Manager administration always takes precedence over
manual administration of IEEE 802.1P/Q data.
28 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Page 35
Media Server (Switch) Administration
Note:
The four IEEE 802.IP/Q QoS parameters in the deskphones that can be administered on the IP Network Region form are L2Q, L2QVLAN, L2QAUD, and L2QSIG. To set these parameters at the switch, see “About Quality of Service (QoS) and voice quality administration” in Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document Number 555-233-504). To set these parameters manually see the 1600 IP Deskphone Installation and Maintenance Guide. You can specify VLAN ID and VLANTEST values with the ADDR Local Administrative Option.
Note: All local administrative procedures are on a phone-by-phone basis. Administration using
Avaya Aura Communication Manager, DHCP, and HTTP applies to the deskphone system itself or to a range of deskphones.
NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) usage can lead to problems that affect the consistency of addressing throughout your network. All H.323 IP Deskphones support NAT interworking. Support for NAT does not imply support for Network Address Port Translation (NAPT). The deskphones do not support communication to the PBX through any NAPT device.
NAT requires specific administration on the media server. A direct Avaya IP Deskphone-to-Avaya IP Deskphone call with NAT requires Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 3.0 or greater software. For more information, see Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura™ Communication Manager (Document Number 555-233-504) on the Avaya support Web site.

DIFFSERV

The DiffServ values change to the values administered on the media server as soon as the deskp hone registers. For more information, see Chapter 4 “Network Quality Administration” in Administration for Network Connectivity for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (Document Number 555-233-504). Unless there is a specific need in your enterprise LAN, Avaya recommends that you d o not change the default values.

Voice Mail Integration

1600 Series IP Deskphones with Avaya Aura Communication Manager 5.2 Native Support

Release 1.1 provides native support for 1600 Series IP Deskphones running on Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2 or later. When native support applies, pressing the Messages button causes the deskphone to first determine if the call server has a dedicated number for retrieving voice mail and when found, to proceed with voice mail retrieval.

1600 Series IP Deskphones Aliased as 4600 Series IP Deskphones

When native support does not apply, 1600 Series IP Deskphones are aliased as 4600 Series IP Deskphones and run under an Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release earlier than 5.2. In this case, use the settings file to configure the Messages button by setting the system parameter
MSGNUM
to any dialable string. MSGNUM examples are:
a standard deskphone number the deskphone should dial to access your voice mail system, such
as AUDIX or Octel.
a Feature Access Code (FAC) that allows users to transfer an active call directly to voice mail.
FACs are su pported only for QSIG-integrated voice mail systems like AUDIX or Octel. QSIG is an enhanced signaling system that allows the voice mail system and Avaya Aura Communication Manager Automated Call Processing (ACP) to exchange information.
When the user presses the Messages button on the deskphone, that number or FAC is automatically dialed, giving the user one-touch access to voice mail.
The settings file specifies the deskphone number to be dialed automatically when the u ser presses this button. The command is:
SET MSGNUM 1234
where 1234 is the Voice Mail extension (A vaya Aura Communication Mana ger hunt group or VDN). For more information, see Table 9
MSGNUM is used both in native support and when the deskphone is aliased using non-n ative support. Messaging must be configured for native support.
A separate Voice Mail extension can be administered for each station.

Chapter 5: Server Administration

Note:
!
CAUTION:

Software Checklist

Ensure that you own licenses to use the DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS server software.
Note: You can install the DHCP and HTTP server software on the same machine.
CAUTION: The firmware in the 1600 Series IP Deskphones reserves IP addresses of the form
192.168.0.24 and 192.168.1.x for internal communications. The deskphone(s) improperly use addresses you specify if they are of that form.

DHCP and File Servers

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) minimizes maintenance for a 1600 Series IP Deskphone network by removing the need to individually assign and maintain IP addresses and other parameters for each IP deskphone on the network.
The DHCP server provides the following information to the 1600 Series IP Deskphones:
IP address of the 1600 Series IP Deskphone(s)
IP address of the Gatekeeper board on the Avaya Media Server
IP address of the HTTP or HTTPS server
The subnet mask
IP address of the router
DNS Server IP address
Administer the LAN so each IP deskphone can access a DHCP server that contains the IP addresses and subnet mask.
The IP deskphone cannot function without an IP address. The failure of a DHCP server at boot time leaves all the affected deskphones unusable. A user can manually assign an IP address to an IP deskphone. When the DHCP server finally returns, the deskphone never looks for a DHCP server unless the static IP data is unassigned manually. In addition, manual entry of IP data is an error-prone process.
Issue 5 May 2014 37
Page 44
Server Administration
!
CAUTION:
Avaya recommends that:
A minimum of two DHCP servers be available for reliability.
A DHCP server be available when the IP deskphone reboots.
A DHCP server be available at remote sites if WAN failures isolate IP deskphones from the central
site DHCP server(s).
The file server provides the 1600 Series IP Deskphone with a script file and, if appropriate, new or updated application software. See Step 3: Deskphone and File Server
on page 12 under Deskphone
Initialization Process. In addition, you can edit an associated settings file to customize deskphone
parameters for your specific environment. For more information, see Chapter 7: Administering
Deskphone Options.

DHCP Server Administration

This document concentrates on the simplest case of the single LAN segment. Information provided here can be used for more complex LAN configurations.
CAUTION: Before you start, understand your current network configuration. An improper inst allation
can cause network failures or reduce the reliability and performance of your network.

DHCP Generic Setup

This document is limited to describing a generic administration that works with the 1600 Series IP Deskphones. Three DHCP software alternatives are common to Windows operating systems:

38 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Page 45
DHCP Server Administration
Any other DHCP application might work. It is the responsibility of the customer to install and configure the DHCP server correctly.
DHCP server setup involves:
1. Installing the DHCP server software according to vendor instructions.
2. Configuring the DHCP server with:
IP addresses available for the 1600 Series IP Deskphones.
The following DHCP options:
- Option 1 - Subnet mask. As described in Table 3
, item 3.
- Option 3 - Gateway (router) IP address(es). As described in Table 3
, item 1. If using more than one address, the total list can contain up to 255 total ASCII characters. You must separate IP addresses with commas with no intervening spaces.
- Option 6 - DNS server(s) address list. If using more than one address, the total list can contain up to 127 total ASCII characters. You must separate IP addresses with commas with no intervening sp aces. At least o ne address in Option 6 must be a valid, non zero, dotted decimal address.
- Option 12 - Host Name. Value is AVohhhhhh, where: o is “A” if the OID (first three octets) of the MAC address for the deskphone is 00-04-0D. “E” if the OID is 00-09-6E, “L” if the OID is 00-60-1D, and “X” if the OID is anything else and where hhhhhh are ASCII characters for the hexadecimal representation of the last three octets of the MAC address for the deskphone.
- Option 15 - DNS Domain Name. This string contains the domain name to be used when DNS names in system parameters ar e resolved into IP addresses. This domain name is appended to the DNS name before the 1600 IP Deskphone attempts to resolve the DNS address. Option 15 is necessary if you want to use a DNS name for the HTTP server. Otherwise, you can specify a DOMAIN as part of customizing HTTP as indicated in DNS Addressing
on page 75.
- Option 51 - DHCP lease time. If this option is not received, the DHCPOFFER is not be accepted. Avaya recommends a lease time of six weeks or greater. If this option has a value of FFFFFFFF he x, the IP address lease is assumed to be infinite as per RFC 2131, Section 3.3, so that renewal and rebinding procedures are not necessary even if Options 58 and 59 are received. Expired leases cause Avaya IP Deskphones to reboot. Avaya recommends providing enough leases so an IP address for an IP deskphone does not change if it is briefly taken offline.
Issue 5 May 2014 39
Page 46
Server Administration
Note:
Note: The DHCP standard states that when a DHCP lease expires, the device should
immediately cease using its assigned IP address. If the network has problems and the only DHCP server is centralized, the server is not accessible to the given deskphone. In this case the deskphone is not usable until the server can be reached. Avaya recommends, once assigned an IP address, the deskphone continues using that address after the DHCP lease expires, until a conflict with another device is detected. As
Table 9: 1600 Series IP Deskphone Customizable System Parameters
indicates, the system parameter DHCPSTD allows an administrator to specify that the deskphone will either: a). Comply with the DHCP standard by setting DHCPSTD to “1”, or b). Continue to use its IP address after the DHCP lease expires by setting DHCPSTD to “0.”
The latter case is the default. If the default is invoked, after the DHCP lease expires the deskphone sends an ARP Request for its own IP address every five seconds. The request continues either forever, or until the deskphone receives an ARP Reply. After receiving an ARP Reply, the deskphone displays an error message, sets its IP address to 0.0.0.0, and attempts to contact the DHCP server again.
- Option 52 - Overload Option, if desired. If this option is received in a message, the deskphone interprets the sname and file fields in accordance with IETF RFC 2132, Section 9.3, listed in Appendix B: Related Documentation
.
- Option 53 - DHCP message type. Value is 1 (DHCPDISCOVER) or 3 (DHCPREQUEST).
- Option 55 - Parameter Request List. Acceptable values are:
1 (subnet mask), 3 (router IP address[es]) 6 (domain name server IP address[es]) 15 (domain name) NVSSON (site-specific option number)
- Option 57 - Maximum DHCP message size.
- Option 58 - DHCP lease renew time. If not received or if this value is greater than that for Option 51, the default value of T1 (renewal timer) is used as per IETF RFC 2131, Section 4.5, listed in Related Documentation
- Option 59 - DHCP lease rebind time. If not received or if this value is greater than that for Option 51, the default value of T2 (rebinding timer) is used as per RFC 2131, Section 4.5

page 65. In configurations where the upgrade script and application files are in the default directory on the HTTP
server, do not use the HTTPDIR=<path>. You do not have to use Option 242. If you do not use this option, you must ensure that the key
information, especially HTTPSRVR and MCIPADD, is administered appropriately elsewhere. Avaya recommends that you administer DHCP servers to deliver only the options specified in this
document. Administering additional, unexpected options might have unexpected results, including causing the IP deskphone to ignore the DHCP server.
The media server name and HTTP server name must each be no more than 32 characters in length. Examples of good DNS administration include:
- Option 6: “aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa”
- Option 15: “dnsexample.yourco.com,zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz”
- Option 242: “MCIPADD=xxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” Depending on the DHCP application you choose, be aware that the application most likely
does not immediately recycle expired DHCP leases. An expired lease might remain reserved for the original client a day or more. For example, Windows NT
®
DHCP reserves expired leases for about one day. This reservation period protects a lease for a short time. If the client and the DHCP server are in two different time zones, the clocks of the computers are not in sync, or the client is not on the network when the lease expires, there is time to correct the situation.
The following example shows the implication of having a reservation period: Assume two IP addresses, therefore two possible DHCP leases. Assume three IP deskphones, two of which are using the two available IP addresses. When the lease for the first two deskphones expires, the third deskphone cannot get a lease until the reservation period expires. Even if the other two deskphones are removed from the network, the third deskphone remains without a lease until the reservation period expires.

HTTP Generic Setup
You can store the same application software, script file, and settings file on an HTTP server as you can on a TFTP server. TFTP is not supported for 1600 Series IP Deskphones. With proper administration, the deskphone seeks out and uses that material. Some functionality might be lost by a reset if the HTTP server is unavailable. For more information, see DHCP and File Servers
on page 37.
CAUTION: The files defined by HTTP server configuration must be accessible from all IP
deskphones invoking those files. Ensure that the file names match the names in the upgrade script, including case, since UNIX systems are case-sensitive.
Note: Use any HTTP application you want. Commonly used HTTP applications include

HTTP Configuration for Backup/Restore

For IIS Web Servers

For IIS 4.0 (WinNT4.0), IIS 5.0 (Win2000), IIS 5.1 (WinXP), IIS 6.0 (Win2003):
1. Create a “backup” folder under the root directory of your Web server. All backu p files will be store d
in that directory. For example, if your backup folder is C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/backup the 46xxsettings.txt file should
have a line similar to:
[SET BRURI http://www.website.com/backup/
If your backup folder is the root directory, the 46xxsettings.txt file should have a line similar to:
[SET BRURI http://www.website.com/
]
2. Use Internet Information Services Manager or Internet Information Services depending on
your OS. Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Administrative Tools.
3. Right click on the folder created for backup, or right click on Default Web Site if there is no specific
backup directory.
4. Select Properties.
5. In the Directory tab, make sure the Write box is checked.

Additional step for IIS 6.0 (Win2003):
1. Use Internet Information Services. Go to Start --> Settings --> Control Panel -->
Administrative Tools.
2. Below Default Web Site select Web Services Extension.
3. Make sure the WebDAV option is set to Allowed.
For Apache Web servers:
1. Create a “backup” folder under the root directory of your Web server, and make the folder
writable by everyone. All backup files will be stored in that directory. If your backup folder is for instance C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/backup,
the 46xxsettings.txt file should have a line similar to:
[SET BRURI http://www.website.com/backup/
]
If your backup folder is the root directory, the 46xxsettings.txt file should have a line similar to:
[SET BRURI http://www.website.com/
]
2. Edit your Web server configuration file httpd.conf.
3. Uncomment the two LoadModule lines associated with DAV:
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
Note: If these modules are not available on your system, typically the case on some Unix/Linux
Apache servers, you have to recompile these two modules (mod_dav & mod_dav_fs) into the server. Other ways to load these modules might be available. Check your Apache documentation at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/
for more details.
4. Add the following lines in the httpd.conf file:

Chapter 6: Deskphone Software and Application
Note:
Files

General Download Process

The 1600 Series IP Deskphones download script files and settings files from either an HTTP or HTTPS server. These deskphones download the application files from the HTTP server. The HTTPS server applies only if the server supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.
Note: The script files, application files, and settings files discussed in this chapter are identical
for HTTP and HTTPS servers. The generic term “file server” refers to both “HTTP server” and “HTTPS server.”
The file downloading process is the same for both servers, except when you use an HTTPS server, a TLS server is contacted first. The deskphone queries the file server, which transmits a script file to the deskphone. The script file tells the deskphone which application file the deskphone must use. The application file is the software that has the telephony functionality, and is easily updated for future enhancements. In a newly installed deskphone, the application file might be missing. In a previously installed deskphone, the application file might not be the proper one. In both cases, the deskphone requests a download of the proper application file from the HTTP server. The file server 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 to the next step without downloading the application file again.
After checking and loading the application file, the 1600 Series IP Deskphone, if appropriate, uses the script file to look for a settings file. The settings file contains options you have administered for any or all of the 1600 Series IP Deskphones in your network. For more information about the settings file, see
Contents of the Settings File
on page 58.

Software

When shipped from the factory, the1600 Series IP Deskphones might not con tain suf ficient sof tware for registration and operation. When the deskphone is first plugged in, a sof tware download from an HTTP server starts to give the phone its proper functionality.
For software upgrade downloads, the call server pr ovides the cap ability for a remote rest art of the 1600 Series IP Deskphone. As a result of restarting, the deskphone automatically start s reboot procedures. If new software is available on the server , the deskpho ne downloads it as p art of the reboot process. The Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide covers upgrades to a previously installed deskphone and related information.

The bundle contains:
An upgrade script file and a settings file, which allow you to upgrade to new software releases and
new functionality without having to replace IP deskphones.
Application files for all current 1600 Series IP Deskphones.
Other useful information such as a ReadMe file and a settings file template to customize
parameters and settings, and the latest binary code.

Upgrade Script File

An upgrade script file tells the IP deskphone whether the deskphone needs to upgrade software. The Avaya IP Deskphones attempt to read this file whenever they reset. The upgrade script file also points to the settings file.
You download a default upgrade script file, sometimes called the “script file,” from
http://www.avaya.com/support
customer-definable options. This file must reside in the same directory as the upgrade script file, and must be called 46xxsettings.txt. The settings file contains settings for 16 00, 9600, and 4600 Series IP Deskphones.
Note: Avaya recommends that the settings file have the extension *.txt. The Avaya IP
Deskphones can operate without this file. You can also change these settings with DHCP or, in some cases, from the dialpad of the deskphone.

Note:

Settings File

The settings file contains the option settings you need to customize the Avaya IP Deskphones for your enterprise.
Note: You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP Deskphones. The settings file includes
the 1600 Series IP Deskphones covered in this document as well as 9600 Series IP Deskphones and 4600 Series IP Deskphones.
The settings file can include any of five types of statements, one per line:
Comments, which are statements with a “#” character in the first column.
Tags, which are comments that have exactly one space character after the initial #, followed by a
text string with no spaces.
Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the deskphone to continue
interpreting the configuration file at the next line after a # tag statement. If no such statement exists, the rest of the configuration file is ignored.
● Conditionals, of the form IF $name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals cause the Goto
command to be processed if the value of name is a case-insensitive equivalent to string. If no such name exists, the entire conditional is ignored. The only system values that can be used in a conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP, and SIG.
SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. Invalid values cause the specified
value to be ignored for the associated parameter_name so the default or previously administered value is retained. All values must be text string s, even if the value it self is n umeric, a dotted decimal IP address, and so on.
Note: Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
The upgrade script file Avaya provides includes a line that tell the deskpho ne to GET 46xxsettings.txt. This lines causes the deskphone to use HTTP or HTTPS to attempt to down load the file specified in the GET command. If the file is obtained, its content s are inter preted as an additional script file. That is how your settings are changed from the default settings. If the file cannot be obtained, the deskphone continues processing the upgrade script file.
If the configuration file is successfully obtained but does not include any setting changes the deskphone stops using HTTP. This happens when you initially download the script file template from the Avaya support Web site, before you make any changes. When the configuration file contains no setting changes, the deskphone does not go back to the upgrade script file.
Avaya recommends that you do not alter the upgrade script file. If Avaya changes the upgrade script file in the future, any changes you have made will be lost. Avaya recommends that you use the 46xxsettings file to customize your settings instead. However, you can change the settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding GET command in the upgrade script file.

Note:

Contents of the Settings File

After checking the application software, the 1600 Series IP Deskphone looks for a 46xxsettings file. This optional file is where you identify non-default option settings, application-specific parameters, an d so on. Yo u can download a template for this file from the Avaya support Web site. An example of what the file might look like follows.
Note: The following is intended only as a simple example. Your settings will vary from the
settings shown. This sample assumes specification of a DNS Server and turning off enhanced local dialing for 96xx Series IP Deskphones.
DNSSRVR=”dnsexample.yourco.com” ENDIALSTAT=0
See Chapter 7: Administering Deskphone Options
for details about specific values. You need
only specify settings that vary from defaults, although specifying defaults is harmless.
VLAN separation controls whether or not traffic received on the secondary Ethernet interface are forwarded on the voice VLAN and whether network traffic received on the data VLAN are forwarded to the deskphone. Add commands to the 46xxsettings.txt file to enable VLAN separation. The following example assumes the voice VLAN ID is “xxx”, the data VLAN ID is “yyy” and the data traffic priority is “z”:
SET VLANSEP 1 SET L2Q 1 (or 0 for auto) SET L2QVLAN xxx SET PHY2VLAN yyy SET PHY2PRIO z
Note: Also configure the network switch so that 802.1Q tags are not removed from frames
forwarded to the deskphone.

Y ou might have different communities o f users, all of which have the same deskphone model, but which require different administered settings. For examp le, you might want to restrict Call Center agent s from being able to Logoff, which might be an essential capability for “hot-desking” associates. We provide examples of the group settings for each of these situations later in this section.
Use the GROUP system value for this purpose:
1. identify which deskphones are associated with which group, and designate a number for each group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default, meaning your largest group is assigned as Group 0.
2. At each non-default deskphone, instruct the installer or user to invoke the GROUP Local (dialpad) Administrative procedure as specified in the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide and specify which GROUP number to use. The GROUP System value can only be set on a phone-by-phone basis.
3. Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the configuration file to allow each deskphone of the appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Here is an example of the configuration file for the Call Center agent:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto CALLCENTER IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto HOTDESK
{specify settings unique to Group 0}
goto END
# CALLCENTER
{specify settings unique to Group 1}
goto END
# HOTDESK
{specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END
{specify settings common to all Groups}

their default values,
the valid ranges for those values, and
a description of each one.
For DHCP, the DHCP Option sets these parameters to the desired values as discussed in DHCP and

You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from the dialpad. You can set the system value, PROCPSWD, as part of standard DHCP/HTTP administration. Alternately, you can set PROCPSWD on the system-parameters ip-options form, as of Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2.
For more information on dialpad options, see the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
CAUTION: PROCPSWD is likely stored on the server in clear text and is sent to the deskphone in
the unencrypted. Therefore, do not consider PROCPSWD as a high-security technique to inhibit a sophisticated user from obtaining access to local procedures.

VLAN Considerations

If your LAN environment does not include Virtual LANs (VLANs), ignore this section. Otherwise, this section contains information on how to administer 1600 Series IP Deskphones to minimize registration time and maximize performance in a VLAN environment.

VLAN Tagging

IEEE 802.1Q tagging (VLAN) is a useful method of managing VoIP traffic in your LAN. Avaya recommends that you establish a voice LAN, set L2 QVLAN to that VLAN, and provide vo ice traffic with priority over other traffic. If LLDP was used to set the deskphones’ VLAN, that setting has absolute authority. Otherwise, you can set VLAN tagging manually, by DHCP, or in the 46xxsettings.txt file.
If VLAN tagging is enabled (L2Q=0 or 1), the 1600 Series IP Deskphones set the VLAN ID to L2QVLAN, and VLAN priority for packets from the deskphone to L2QAUD for audio packets and L2QSIG for signalling packets. The default value (6) for these parameters is the recommended value for voice traffic in IEEE 802.1D.
Regardless of the tagging setting, a 1600 Series IP Deskphone will always transmit packets from the deskphone at absolute priority over packets from secondary Ethernet. The priority settings are useful only if the downstream equipment is administered to give the voice LAN priority.

VLAN Default Value and Priority Tagging

The system value L2QVLAN is initially set to “0” and identifies the 802.1Q VLAN Identifier. This default value indicates “priority tagging” as defined in IEEE 802.IQ Section 9.3.2.3. Priority tagging specifies that your network closet Ethernet switch automatically insert the switch port default VLAN without changing the user priority of the frame (cf. IEEE 802.1P and 802.1Q).
If you do not want the default VLAN to be used for voice traffic:
Ensure that the switch configuration lets frames tagged by the 1600 Series IP Deskphon e through
without overwriting or removing them.
Set the system value L2QVLAN to the VLAN ID appropriate for your voice LAN.
72 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Page 79
VLAN Considerations
Note:
Another system value you can administer is VLANTEST. VLANTEST defines the number of seconds the 1600 IP Series Deskphone waits for a DHCPOFFER message when using a non-zero VLAN ID. The VLANTEST default is “60” seconds. Using VLANTEST ensures that the deskphone returns to the default VLAN if an invalid VLAN ID is administered or if the phone moves to a port where the L2QVLAN value is invalid. The default value is long, allowing for the scenario that a major power interruption is causing the phones to restart. Always allow time for network routers, the DHCP servers, etc. to be returned to service. If the deskphone restarts for any reason and the VLANTEST time limit expires, the deskphone assumes the administered VLAN ID is invalid. The deskphone then initiates registration with the default VLAN ID.
Setting VLANTEST to “0” has the special meaning of telling the phone to use a non-zero VLAN indefinitely to attempt DHCP. In other words, the deskphone does not return to the default VLAN.
Note: If the deskphone returns to the default VLAN but must be put back on the L2QVLAN
VLAN ID, you must Reset the deskphone. See the Reset procedure in the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

VLAN Separation

VLAN separation controls whether or not traffic received on the secondary Ethernet interface can be forwarded on the voice VLAN. VLAN separation also controls whether network traffic received on the data VLAN can be forwarded to the deskphone. The following system parameters control VLAN separation:
VLANSEP - enables (1) or disables (0) VLAN separation. The default is 1 (on), which allows full
separation. When set to 0 (off), VLAN IDs are not used as a criteria for forwarding frames.
L2Q - 802.1Q tagging must be set to 1 (on) or 0 (auto).
L2QVLAN - must be set to the non-zero VLAN ID of the voice VLAN.
PHY2VLAN - must be set to the non-zero VLAN ID of the data VLAN, which cannot be the same
as the voice VLAN ID.
PHY2PRIO - the layer 2 priority value to be used for tagged frames received on the secondary
Ethernet interface.
Table 10
provides several VLAN separation guidelines.

DNS Addressing

Note:
DNS Addressing
The 1600 IP Deskphones support DNS addresses and dotted decimal addresses. The deskphone attempts to resolve a non-ASCII-encoded dotted decimal IP address by checking the content s of DHCP Option 6. See DHCP Generic Setup be a valid, non-zero, dotted decimal address, otherwise, DNS fails. The text string for the DOMAIN system parameter (Option 15, Table 9 deskphone attempts DNS address resolution. If Option 6 contains a list of DNS addresses, those addresses are queried in the order given if no response is received from previous addresses on the list. As an alternative to administering DNS by DHCP, you can specify the DNS server and/or Domain name in the HTTP script file. But first SET the DNSSRVR and DOMAIN values so you can use those names later in the script.
Note: Administer Options 6 and 15 appropriately with DNS servers and Domain names
respectively.

IEEE 802.1X

Certain 1600 Series IP Deskphones support the IEEE 802.1X standard for pass-through and Supplicant operation. The system parameter DOT1X multicast packets and proxy logoff, as follows:
When DOT1X = 0, the deskphone forwards 802.1X multicast packet s from the Authenticator to the
PC attached to the deskphone and forwards multicast packets from the attached PC to the Authenticator (multicast pass-through). Proxy Logoff is not supported.
When DOT1X = 1, the deskphone supports the same multicast pass-through as when DOT1X=0.
Proxy Logoff is supported.
When DOT1X = 2, the deskphone forwards multicast packets from the Authenticator only to the
deskphone, ignoring multicast packets from the attached PC (no multicast pass-through). Proxy Logoff is not supported.
Regardless of the DOT1X setting, the deskphone always properly directs unicast packet s from the
Authenticator to the deskphone or its attached PC, as dictated by the MAC address in the packet.
All 1600 Series deskphones support Supplicant operation and parameter values as specified in IEEE
802.1X, but, as of software Release 1.2, only if the value of the parameter DOT1XSTAT is "1" or "2". If DOT1XSTAT has any other value, Supplicant operation is not supported.
IP deskphones will respond to unicast EAPOL frames (frames with the deskphone’s MAC address as the destination MAC address, and a protocol type of 88-8E hex) received on the Ethernet line interface if the value of DOT1XSTAT is "1" or "2", but will only respond to EAPOL frames that have the PAE group multicast address as the destination MAC address if the value of DOT1XSTAT is "2".

of DOT1XSTAT is changed to "0" from any other value after the Supplicant has been authenticated, an EAPOL-Logoff will be transmitted before the Supplicant is disabled.
As of software Release 1.2, the system parameter DOT1XSTAT determines how the deskphone handles Supplicants as follows:
When DOT1XSTAT=0, Supplicant operation is completely disabled. This is the default value.
When DOT1XSTAT=1, Supplicant operation is enabled, but responds only to received unicast
EAPOL messages.
When DOT1XSTAT=2, Supplicant operation is enabled and responds to received unicast and
multicast EAPOL messages.
Note: If the Ethernet line interface link fails, the 802.1X Supplicant, if enabled, enters the
Disconnected state. The 802.1X Supplicant variable userLogoff normally has a value of FALSE. This variable will be set to TRUE before the deskphone drops the link on the Ethernet line interface (and back to FALSE after the link has been restored). The userLogoff variable may also be briefly set to TRUE to force the Supplicant into the LOGOFF state when new credentials are entered.

802.1X Pass-Through and Proxy Logoff

1600 Series IP Deskphones with a secondary Ethernet interface support pass-through of 802.1X packets to and from an attached PC. This enables an att ached PC running 802.1X supplicant software to be authenticated by an Ethernet data switch.
The IP Deskphones support two pass-through modes:
pass-through and
pass-through with proxy logoff.
The DOT1X parameter setting controls the pass-through mode. In Proxy Logoff mode (DOT1X=1), when the secondary Ethernet interface loses link integrity, the deskphone sends an 802.1X EAPOL-Logoff message to the data switch on behalf of the attached PC. The message alerts the switch that the device is no longer present. For example, a message would be sent when the attached PC is physically disconnected from the IP deskphone. When DOT1X = 0 or 2, the Proxy Logof f function is not supported

802.1X Supplicant Operation

1600 IP Deskphones that support Supplicant operation also support Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), but only with the MD5-Challenge authentication method as specified in IETF RFC 3748 [8.5-33a].
76 1600 Series IP Deskphone Administrator Guide Release 1.3.5
Page 83
IEEE 802.1X
A Supplicant identity (ID) and password of no more than 12 numeric characters are stored in reprogrammable non-volatile memory. The ID and password are not overwritten by deskphone software downloads. The default ID is the MAC address of the deskphone, converted to ASCII format without colon separators, and the default pa ssword is null. Both the ID and p assword are set to defaults at manufacture. EAP-Response/Identity frames use the ID in the Type-Data field. EAP-Response/ MD5-Challenge frames use the password to compute the digest for the Value field, leaving the Name field blank.
When a deskphone is installed for the first time and 802.1x is in effect, the dynamic address process prompts the installer to enter the Supplicant identity and p assword. The IP de skphone does no t accept null value passwords. See “Dynamic Addressing Process” in the Avaya 1600 Series IP Deskphones Installation and Maintenance Guide. The IP deskphone stores 802.1X credentials when successful authentication is achieved. Post-installation authentication attempts occur using the stored 802.1X credentials, without prompting the user for ID and password entry.
An IP deskphone can support several different 802.1X authentication scenarios, depending on the capabilities of the Ethernet data switch to which it is connected. Some switches may authenticate only a single device per switch port. This is known as single-supplicant or port-based operation. These switches typically send multicast 802.1X packets to authenticating devices.
These switches support the following three scenarios:
Standalone deskphone (Deskphone Only Authenticates) - When the IP deskphone is
configured for Supplicant Mode (DOT1XSTAT=2), the deskphone can support authentication from the switch.
Deskphone with attached PC (Deskphone Only Authenticates) - When the IP deskphone is
configured for Supplicant Mode (DOT1X=2 and DOT1XSTAT=2), the deskphone can support authentication from the switch. The attached PC in this scenario gains access to the network without being authenticated.
Deskphone with attached PC (PC Only Authenticate s) - When the IP deskphone is configured
for Pass-Through Mode or Pass-Through Mode with Logof f (DOT1X=0 or 1 and DOT1XSTAT=0), an attached PC running 802.1X supplicant software can be authenticated by the data switch. The deskphone in this scenario gains access to the network without being authenticated.
Some switches support authentication of multiple devices connected through a single switch port. This is known as multi-supplicant or MAC-based operation. These switches typically send unicast 802.1X packets to authenticating devices. These switches support the following two scenarios:
Standalone deskphone (Deskphone Only Authenticates) - When the IP deskphone is
configured for Supplicant Mode (DOT1XSTAT=2), the deskphone can support authentication from the switch. When DOT1X is "0" or "1", the deskphone is unable to authenticate with the switch.
Deskphone and PC Dual Authentication - Both the IP deskphone and the connected PC can
support 802.1X authentication from the switch. The IP deskphone may be configured for Pass-Through Mode or Pass-Through Mode with Logoff (DOT1X=0 or 1 and DOT1XSTAT=1 or
2). The attached PC must be running 802.1X supplicant software.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)

Release 1.1 1600 Series IP Deskphones support IEEE 802.1AB. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an open standards layer 2 protocol IP Deskphones use to ad vertise their identity and cap abilities and to receive administration from an LLDP server. LAN equipment can use LLDP to manage power, administer VLANs, and provide some administration.
The transmission and reception of LLDP is specified in IEEE 802.1AB-2005. The 1600 Series IP Deskphones use Type-Length-Value (TLV) elements specified in IEEE 802.1AB-2005, TIA TR-41 Committee - Media Endpoint Discovery (LLDP-MED, ANSI/TIA-1057), and Proprietary element s. LLDP Data Units (LLDPDUs) are sent to the LLDP Multicast MAC address (01:80:c2:00:00:0e).
These deskphones:
do not support LLDP on the secondary Ethernet interface.
will not forward frames received with the 802.1AB LLDP group multicast address as the
destination MAC address between the Ethernet line interface and the secondary Ethernet interface.
A 1600 Series IP Deskphone initiates LLDP after receiving an LLDPDU message from an appropriate system. Once initiated, the deskphones send an LLDPDU every 30 seconds with the following contents:
Table 11: LLDPDU Transmitted by the 1600 Series IP Deskphones

System value changed to the Port VLAN identifier in the TLV.
The system value is changed to the TLV VLAN Identifier. L2Q will be set to 1 (ON).
VLAN Name TLV is only effective if:
The deskphone is not registered with the Call
Server.
Name begins with VOICE (case does not
matter).
The VLAN is not zero.
DHCP Client is activated.
The deskphone is registered but is not
tagging layer 2 frames with a non-zero VLAN ID.
If VLAN Name causes the deskphone to change VLAN and the deskphone already has an IP Address the deskphone will release the IP Address and reset.
If the TLV VLAN ID matches the VLAN ID the deskphone is using, the VLAN ID is marked as set by LLDP. Otherwise, if already registered, the deskphone waits until there are no active calls, releases its IP Address, turns on tagging with the TL V VLAN ID, sets L2Q to "on," changes the default L2Q to "on," and resets. If there is no valid IP Address, the deskphone immediately start s t agg ing with the new VLAN ID without resetting.

This TLV is ignored if:
the value of USE_DHCP is “0” and the value
of IPADD is not “0.0.0.0”, or
the Application Type is not 1 (Voice) and is
not 2 (Voice Signaling), or
the Unknown Policy Flag (U) is set to 1.

Proprietary - PoE Conservation TLV
Extended Power-Via-MDI
The default L2Q is set to the value of this TLV. No change is made to the current L2 tagging, but the new default value is used on the next reboot. If TLV = 1, L2Q set to "1" (On). If TLV = 2, L2Q set to "2" (Off). If TLV = 3, L2Q set to "0" (Auto).
This proprietary TLV can initiate a power conservation mode. The deskphones that support this will turn on/off the deskphone backlight and the backlight of an attached Button Module in response to this TLV.
Power conservation mode will be enabled if the received binary Power Source value is 10, and power conservation mode will be disabled if the received binary Power Source value is not 10. Power conservation mode is enabled even if the deskphone is not powered over Ethernet because the deskphone sends information about the power source that it is using in a TIA LLDP MED Extended Power-Via-MDI TLV; it is assumed that the power management system intends to conserve local power as well.

Local Administrative Options Using the Deskphone Dialpad

!
CAUTION:
Local Administrative Options Using the Deskphone Dialpad
The local procedures you use most often as an administrator are:
CLEAR - Remove all administered values, user-specified data, option settings, etc. and return a
deskphone to its initial “out of the box” default values.
DEBUG - Enable or disable debug mode for the button module serial port.
GROUP - Set the group identifier on a per-phone basis.
RESET - Reset all system values and system initialization values except AUTH, NVAUTH,
registration extension, and password to the default values. Also resets the 802.1X identity and password to the default values.
VIEW - Review the 1600 IP Deskphone system parameters to verify current values and file
versions.
Ethernet Interface Enable/Disable - Enable or disable the Ethernet Interface locally.

Clear Procedure

Sometimes, you might want to remove all administered values, user-specified data, a nd option settings. Essentially, you want to return a deskphone to its initial “clean slate” or out of the box condition. This is usually done when passing a deskphone to a new, dedicated user when the user’s L O G O F F option is not sufficient. For example, a new user is assigned the same extension, but requires different permissions than the previous user.
The C L E A R option erases all administered data—static programming, file server and call server programming, and user settings including Contact button labels and locally programmed Feature button labels, and restores all such data to default values. The C L E A R option does not affect the software load itself. If you have upgraded the deskphone, the deskphone retains the latest software. Once you have cleared a deskphone, you can administer it normally.
CAUTION: This procedure erases all administered data, without any possibility of recovering the
data.
