Preventing Toll Fraud
“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your t el ec om m u nications
system by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not
a corporate employee, agent, subcontractor, or working on you r
company’s behalf). Be awar e th at th ere ma y b e a risk of tol l fra ud
associated with your system and that, if toll fraud occurs, it can
result in substantial additional charges for your telecommunications services.
Avaya Fraud Intervention
If you suspect you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need
technical support or assistance, call the appropriat e Avaya
National Customer Car e Ce nt er telephone number. Users of the
MERLIN®, PARTNER®, and System 25 products should call 1
800 628-2888. Users of the System 75, System 85 , DE FINITY®
Generic 1, 2 and 3, and DEFINITY® ECS products should call 1

Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security of voice, data , a nd/ or vi deo communications is the prevent ion of any type o f intrusion to, that is,
either unauthorized or ma licious access to or use of, your company’s telecommunications equipment) by some party.
Your company’s “telecommunications equipment” includes both
this Avaya product and any other voice/data/video equipment that
could be accessed via this Avaya product (i.e., “networked equipment”).
An “outside party” is anyone w ho i s no t a corp ora te em pl oye e,
agent, subcontractor, or working on your company’s behalf.
Whereas, a “malic io us party” is anyone, including someone who
may be otherwise authorized, who accesses your telecommunications equipment with either malicious or mischievous intent.
Such intrusions may be either to/through synchronous (time-multiplexed and/or circuit -ba se d) or asynchronous (character-, message-, or packet-based) equipment or interfaces for reasons of:
• Utilization of cap abilities special to the accessed equipme nt
• Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or
toll-facility access)
• Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to hum an s )
• Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tam pe ring)
• Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration,
regardless of motive or intent)
Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthoriz ed intrusions ass o ciated with your system an d/or its networked equipment. Also
realize that, if such an intrusion should occur, it could result in a
variety of losses to your compan y in cluding, but not limited to,
human/data privacy, intellectual property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and/or legal costs.
Y o ur Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications
Security
The final responsibility for secu ri n g both th is syst em an d it s net worked equipment rest s wit h you – an Avaya customer’s system
administrator, your telecommunications peers, and your managers.
Base the fulfillment of your responsibility on acquired knowledge
and resources from a variety of sources including, but not limited
to:
• Installation documents
• System administration documents
• Security documents
• Hardware-/software-based sec uri ty tool s
• Shared information between you and your peers
• Telecommunications security experts
To prevent intrusions to your telecommunications equipment, you
and your peers should carefully program and configure your:
• Avaya-provided telecommunications syste ms a nd th ei r
interfaces
• Avaya-provided software applications, as w el l as t heir
underlying hardwa re/software platform s and interfaces
• Any other equipment net w orke d to your Avaya products
Avaya does not warrant that this product or any of its net worked
equipment is either im m une from or will prevent ei t her unauthorized or malicious intrusions. Avaya will not be responsible for
any charges, losses, or damages that result from such intrusi ons.

Using Programmable Buttons
Introduction
Your 4606 IP Telephone has six Line/Feature buttons, some of which are
dedicated to incoming and outgoing calls. The remaining Line/Feature buttons
can be programmed by your Telephone System Administrator to provide
additional phone functionality.
Programmable Line/Feature Buttons
2
Line buttons available for incoming/outgoing calls are usually the first few buttons
on the left-most button column.
The Line/Feature buttons following your incoming/outgoing lines may be reserved
for features not available using dedicated buttons like (Conference),
(Mute) and (Speaker). Features such as Voice Mail retrieval, Directory
search, Inspect phone features and Program may also be assigned to this group
of buttons. These features may alternately be available through Feature Access
Codes.
Two suggested features for 4606 IP Telephone users to add are Drop (which
allows a party to be dropped from a conference call) and Normal (which clears
the display when using certain features like the Directory).
For information regarding how the Line/Feature buttons have been set up for your
phone system, contact your System Administrator. Be sure that the Line/Feature
button labels are filled in before starting to use your telephone, and that you
update them promptly for new, customized features.
Issue 1 July 2001 2-1
IP Telephone Features Available on Programmable Line/Feature Buttons
Regardless of whether a specific feature is available on a Line/Feature button, or
via an Access Code, you can find procedures for all 4606 IP T elephone features in
Chapter 5, “IP Telephone Features.”

Using the Display Screen
Introduction
The DEFINITY® 4606 IP Telephone has a 2-line by 16 character display (screen)
area located at the top third of the phone. What you see on the display is
controlled by the current status of the phone or by selections you make using
Line/Feature buttons, Access Codes, or dedicated feature buttons like Redial or
Transfer.
The 4606 IP Telephone’s display:
3
■ Indicates the date and time of day on the top line when the phone is idle
■ Displays call information on both lines, such as the extension being dialed
or the name and extension of someone calling you
■ Shows feature-related instructions or messages when using certain phone
features
About the Display Screen
The two display lines provide (general) information (time of day), feature
information/instructions, and/or call information.
Upper Display Line
The Time and Date appear on the upper display line when the phone is idle. Time
and date are set at the switch, so if there is an error, contact your Telephone
System Administrator.
When plugging in your 4606 IP Telephone for the first time, or after a power
outage, it may take several minutes for the time and date to appear on the display
screen.
Issue 1 July 2001 3-1
Lower Display Line
Line/Feature Button Information
Line/Feature button information identifies the line being used. Each of the six
Line/Feature buttons is given an alphabetic designation of a through c (left
column) and d through f (right column). When the display shows a=, it represents
call information for the first Line/Feature button; the next button down would show
as b=, and so on. Line/Feature buttons are also called "call appearance" buttons.
Call Information
Call information, such as the extension being dialed or the name and extension of
the person you are calling, displays. When someone on another extension calls
you, the display shows the caller’s name. Outside calls show either the telephone
number, the words OUTSIDE CALL, or a trunk identifier.

encounter. The remaining pages in this chapter provide procedures for resetting
or power-cycling your phone, when Basic Troubleshooting does not resolve the
problem. For all other IP Telephone questions or problems, contact your
Telephone System Administrator.

Basic Troubleshooting
Problem/Symptom Suggested Solution
Phone does not activate after
connecting it the first time
Phone does not activate after
a power interruption
Unless your System Administrator has
already initialized your telephone, you may
experience a delay of several minutes
before it becomes operational. Upon
plug-in, your telephone immediately
begins downloading its operational
software, its IP address and any special
features programmed by your System
Administrator from the server to which it is
connected. Report any delay of more than
8-10 minutes to your System
Administrator.
Allow a few minutes for re-initialization
after unplugging, powering down the
phone, server problems or other power
interruption causes.

can perform a more severe power cycle routine by unplugging both the
phone and the Ethernet cables.
