4601 and 5601 Installation

These two IP phones do not have a display screen to assist with installation and diagnostics.
The only method of installation supported is DHCP and this means the preparation requirements listed in
1. Preparation are essential for successful installation.
During installation the phone obtains and stores the IP addresses of the Call Server (the IP Office
gatekeeper) and the TFTP server (the Manager PC). Currently we are not aware of any field method for
resetting these values in order to move a 4601 or 5601 to a different IP Office system.

1a. Creating a 46xxsettings.txt File

During installation, the Avaya IP phones request software by downloading and following instructions
within the 46xxupgrade.scr file (see The 46XX Upgrade Script File). This file is provided as part of the
IP Office Manager software and should normally not be changed.
The last lines of the 46xxupgrade.scr file instruct the phone to request the file 46xxsettings.scr or
46xxsettings.txt. If present, that file is downloaded and used to set customer site specific options for the
Avaya IP phones.
If not present:
1. Using Windows Notepad or any other plain text editing tool, create a text file called
46xxsettings.txt.
2. Edit the file to contain the following:
## 4600 Site Specific Settings
SET L2Q 2
## END OF FILE
• The SET L2Q 2 is recommended for IP Office operation.
•
For other settings, see The 46XX Settings Script File.
• If 4610 or 4620 phones are being installed, this file is used to set the home page for their
WML web browsing, see WML Server Setup.
3. Place this file in the same folder as the 4600 Series IP Phone software, normally this is the same
folder as the Manager application.
