About This Guide
Overview
This guide covers how to use your new 4601 IP Telephone. The 4601 is simple to use while
offering some of the latest advances in telephony systems. IP (Internet Protocol) telephones
obtain their operational characteristics from your central telephone server rather than residing in
the phone unit itself. Updates and new functionality are downloaded to your phone without
intervention or the need for phone replacement. Although the 4601 is a basic IP telephone
model, it shares many characteristics with higher-end IP telephones, including ease of
operation for its users.
This guide contains three chapters, geared to how you actually use the phone. It covers the
buttons and features on the phone itself, making and receiving calls, getting your voice mail
messages, and phone tests/troubleshooting you can perform to ensure your 4601 IP Telephone
is operating properly.
Intended Audience
This document is intended for IP telephone users who have a 4601 IP Telephone at their desks.
It is not intended to be a technical reference guide for System Administrators or phone
technicians.
Issue Date

Telephone has no display area, it uses its LEDs to provide feedback.
1. To determine your Extension, press the * (asterisk) button.
The two Call Appearance Line indicators alternate flashing out the Extension number , with a
slight pause between flashes.
For example, if the Extension is 2430, the following flash sequence occurs:
● Call Appearance Line a’s indicator winks twice to indicate the first digit of the extension
is 2,
● Call Appearance Line b’s indicator then winks four times to indicate the second digit of
the extension is 4,
● Call Appearance Line a’s indicator winks three times to indicate the third digit of the
extension is 3, and finally,
● Call Appearance Line b’s indicator flutters five times (rather than winks) to indicate the
last digit is zero.
Note:
Note: For help with interpreting LED flashes, winks and flutters, see Interpreting LED
Prompts in Chapter 3: Telephone Management and Troubleshooting.
2. Due to the flash rate timing, you may need to re-check the Extension number. If so,
repeat Step 1.

Chapter 3: Telephone Management and
Troubleshooting
Introduction
The 4600-Series IP Telephones are relatively trouble-free. This chapter provides helpful
information for:
● Interpreting the different ringer tones you hear.
● Interpreting the telephone’s LED prompts.
● Personalizing your phone’s ringing pattern.
● Testing your telephone to be sure it is operating correctly.
● Basic Troubleshooting; this chart provides the most common problems an end user might
encounter and suggested resolutions.
For all other IP telephone questions or problems, contact your System Administrator.
Interpreting Ringer Tones
As you become more familiar with your IP telephone, you will recognize the various tones you
hear in response to an incoming call or while using the handset. The chart below provides an
overview of the tones you hear; check with your System Administrator to verify if the
descriptions are accurate for your system.
Issue 3 April 2006 19
Telephone Management and Troubleshooting
Ringing Tones accompany an incoming call. Feedback Tones are those which you hear through
the Handset (receiver) or the Speaker.
Ringing (Incoming) Tones Meaning

2 Rings ------- ------- Call from outside or the System Administrator.
3 Rings ------ ------ ------ Priority call from another extension, or from an

dialing error, denial of a requested service or
failure to dial within a preset interval (usually 10
seconds) after lifting the handset or dialing the
previous digit.
Recall Dial - - - ----------- Three shorts tone bursts followed by a steady dial

Interpreting LED Prompts
Since there is no display, the 4601 uses its LEDs to indicate error, wait, data entry, and other
conditions. Use the following table to interpret and understand the phone’s LED signals.

A confirmation tone (two rising tones) sounds and your new ringing pattern is set.
Note:
Note: Going off-hook, receiving a call or losing power during ring pattern selection
interrupts the process, and you must start over from Step 1.
