software releases.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before plugging in the 1600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all the following requirements are
met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working properly and can have a negative
impact on the network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and IP telephone.
Verify These Network Requirements
1. Ensure that the LAN uses Ethernet Category 5e cabling running the IPv4 version of
Internet Protocol.
2. Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 3.0 or later software supports the
1600 Series IP Telephones, aliased as 4600 Series IP Telephones. Specifically, all
of the 1603 models should be aliased as a 4610, all of the 1608 models should be
aliased as a 4610, and all of the 1616 models should be aliased as a 4620.
Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 5.2 or later software provides native
support for the 1600 Series IP Telephones (that is, you do not have to alias the
telephones).
