Preventing Toll Fraud
“Toll fraud” is the unauthorized use of your telecommunications system
by an unauthorized party (for example, a person who is not a corporate
employee, agent, subcontractor, or is not working on your company's
behalf). Be aware that there may be a risk of toll fraud 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 that you are being victimized by toll fraud and you need
technical assistance or support, in the United States and Canada, call the
Technical Service Center's Toll Fraud Intervention Hotline at
1-800-643-2353.

Providing Telecommunications Security
Telecommunications security (of voice, data, and/or video
communications) is the prevention of any type of intrusion to (that is,
either unauthorized or malicious 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 (that is, “networked equipment”).
An “outside party” is anyone who is not a corporate employee, agent,
subcontractor, or is not working on your company's behalf. Whereas, a
“malicious 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-based) or asynchronous (character-, message-, or
packet-based) equipment or interfaces for reasons of:
•
Utilization (of capabilities special to the accessed equipment)
•
Theft (such as, of intellectual property, financial assets, or toll
facility access)
•
Eavesdropping (privacy invasions to humans)
•
Mischief (troubling, but apparently innocuous, tampering)
•
Harm (such as harmful tampering, data loss or alteration,
regardless of motive or intent)
Be aware that there may be a risk of unauthorized intrusions associated
with your system and/or its networked equipment. Also realize that, if
such an intrusion should occur, it could result in a variety of losses to your
company (including but not limited to, human/data privacy, intellectual
property, material assets, financial resources, labor costs, and/or legal
costs).

Responsibility for Your Company’s Telecommunications Security
The final responsibility for securing both this system and its networked
equipment rests with you - Avaya’s customer 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 security tools
•
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 systems and their
interfaces
•
Your Avaya-provided software applications, as well as their
underlying hardware/software platforms and interfaces
•
Any other equipment networked to your Avaya products
TCP/IP Facilities
Customers may experience differences in product performance, reliability
and security depending upon network configurations/design and
topologies, even when the product performs as warranted.
Standards Compliance
Avaya Inc. is not responsible for any radio or television interference
caused by unauthorized modifications of this equipment or the
substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other
than those specified by Avaya Inc. The correction of interference caused
by such unauthorized modifications, substitution or attachment will be the
responsibility of the user. Pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules, the user is cautioned that
changes or modifications not expressly approved by Avaya Inc. could
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

Federal Communications Commission Statement
Part 15:
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

Part 68: Answer-Supervision Signaling
Allowing this equipment to be operated in a manner that does not provide
proper answer-supervision signaling is in violation of Part 68 rules. This
equipment returns answer-supervision signals to the public switched
network when:
•
answered by the called station,
•
answered by the attendant, or
•
routed to a recorded announcement that can be administered
by the customer premises equipment (CPE) user.
This equipment returns answer-supervision signals on all direct inward
dialed (DID) calls forwarded back to the public switched telephone
network. Permissible exceptions are:
•
A call is unanswered.
•
A busy tone is received.
•
A reorder tone is received.
Avaya attests that this registered equipment is capable of providing users
access to interstate providers of operator services through the use of
access codes. Modification of this equipment by call aggregators to block
access dialing codes is a violation of the Telephone Operator Consumers
Act of 1990.

following tables.

Issue 2.2 April 2005

Introducing Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone

The 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone
The 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone is an innovative telephone that gives you access to
the World Wide Web while offering the latest features and applications. The large display area
allows up to 12 application-specific buttons to be presented and labeled at one time.
Additionally, 12 Line/Feature buttons, 4 softkeys, and other fixed buttons provide access to
powerful capabilities such as:
●

call server-based features,

●

speed dialing,

●

a Call Log, and

●

a WML (Wireless Markup Language, a Web development protocol) browser.

This last feature is covered in detail in Chapter 5: Using the Web Access Application. The WML
browser provides access to Web sites tailored specifically for devices with smaller display
screens like cell phones and Personal Data Assistants.
In addition to these features and applications, the 4620/4620SW/4621SW provides a robust
menu of options to customize your phone preferences.
Your telephone’s display area coincides with how your System Administrator sets up the Line/
Feature buttons. The 4 softkeys assist you in using 4620/4620SW/4621SW applications and
features. The 14 standard (labeled) buttons assist in telephone operation and call handling. A
built-in, two-way Speaker, and an infrared interface (not applicable on the 4621SW) combine to
provide ease of use and flexibility. The telephone has an adjustable stand that moves to
optimize your viewing position via the button on the back.
Figure 1 shows the face of the 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone. This diagram contains
numbered “callouts” identifying the phone’s primary features and buttons. If you are viewing this
guide online, you can click the callout to jump to the corresponding feature or button description.
Otherwise, each callout is described in detail in Table 1 following the diagram.

Issue 2.2 April 2005

Introducing Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone

About the Feature Key Expansion Unit (EU24/EU24BL)
The Feature Key Expansion Unit is an optional device that can be connected to your 4620 IP
Telephone. The EU24 and EU24BL contain 24 buttons onto which your System Administrator
sets up additional IP telephone features and/or call appearances (incoming and outgoing lines).
The EU24BL is essentially the same as an EU24, except with a backlit display. When we use
the term “EU24” anywhere in this guide, the information also applies to the EU24BL, unless
otherwise noted.
The EU24 is recommended for use with the 4620 and 4620SW IP Telephones. The EU24BL is
recommended for use with the 4621SW IP Telephone.
For usage instructions, see the EU24/EU24BL Expansion Module User Guide (Document
Number 555-250-702, available at http://www.avaya.com/support).

Navigating Application Screens
Your 4620 IP Telephone uses Phone Feature buttons, Line/Feature buttons, and Softkeys to
allow you maximum flexibility in phone operation and application usage. While reviewing this
section, it can help to refer to Figure 1: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone on page 15.
Phone Feature buttons are used in the Phone application and appear on the face of the
telephone around the dialpad. Phone buttons have an icon on the top of the button, to indicate
the button’s function. These buttons provide mostly call-handling features like Transfer,
Conference, Hold, or Redial. Two new phone feature buttons are:
●

Phone/Exit (
) - used to exit call server-based features and restore the Phone screen
to the display, and

●

Options (
) - used to access the Options function to set certain phone parameters
and view phone/server/connection status and other information for troubleshooting.

The Page Left and Page Right buttons (
) (between the Phone/Exit and Options
buttons) are also considered phone buttons. Use them to move forward (Right Arrow) or
backward (Left Arrow) from one display screen to another. These paging buttons work in
conjunction with the paging indicators (
) you may see on an application screen. Paging
indicators show that a screen has more than one page, and allow you to navigate forward and
back through those additional pages. To activate the function or feature represented by a phone
button, just press the appropriate button.
Line/Feature buttons (
) appear on both sides of the display area. These buttons provide
call appearances (Lines) and other call-related features (as administered by your System
Administrator) in the Phone application. They also serve as application-specific buttons in the
Call Log or other applications. For example, pressing a Line/Feature button in the Call Log
application selects the corresponding entry, allowing you to take further action with your

18 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Release 2.2 User Guide

Navigating Application Screens

selection. When you enter text on a screen (for example, a Speed Dial button label), several
Line/Feature buttons provide editing features like backspacing or hyphenation.
Here is an example of the difference between a Line/Feature button’s functionality in the Phone
application versus other applications. To call someone from the Phone application (the default
display screen) you press the first Line/Feature (call appearance) button and dial your party. But
in the Call Log application, pressing the first Line/Feature button displays detailed information
about the first call log entry.
In addition to the call-related icons and features explained in Table 1, the icons and background
display colors in Table 2 are associated with certain administrable features on the call server,
and might appear on the display. Several features, such as flash, wink, and flutter, are
associated with Call Center operations, and might not apply to many 4620 users.

Four softkeys (
) appear directly below the display area. They allow you to access the
other 4620 applications. In an application, they allow you to perform application-specific
functions, like add, save, edit, delete, or cancel. The labels above the softkeys reflect their
function relative only to that specific screen.

4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Applications
Your 4620 IP Telephone provides four applications (Phone, Speed Dial, Call Log, and Web).
Additionally, use the Options function to define settings, personalize your phone, and
troubleshoot certain functions. All applications appear in the display area, accessed by the
softkeys appearing below the display.
A brief description of each application follows.

Phone Application
The Phone application is the primary application. Use this application to make and receive calls,
and perform call-handling operations like conference calling or transferring calls to another
phone.
Chapter 2: Using Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone provides information on using the
Phone application.

Speed Dial Application
The Speed Dial application provides access to the Speed Dial buttons that facilitate automatic
dialing. Use this application to:
●

set up buttons for speed dialing,

●

update Speed Dial button labels, or

●

remove the label from a Speed Dial button.

Chapter 3: Using the Speed Dial Application describes how to set up, update and remove labels
from Speed Dial buttons. Calling using a Speed Dial button is covered in Chapter 2: Using Your
4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone.

20 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Release 2.2 User Guide

4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Applications

Call Log Application
The Call Log application provides three lists, each showing up to 30 outgoing, incoming
answered or missed calls. Use this application to call a person directly from the Call Log or to
add a log entry’s name and phone number to a Speed Dial button. In addition, you can disable
the Call Log for privacy purposes by setting the Call Log Disable option, as described in
Chapter 6: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Options.
Chapter 4: Using the Call Log Application covers viewing, deleting log entries, and adding a Call
Log entry to a Speed Dial button. Making a call from the Call Log is covered in Chapter 2: Using
Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone.

Web Access Application (Optional)
The Web Access application allows you to access Web pages reachable through links from a
Home page (and connected pages). This application is optional and is specifically administered
by your System Administrator. Depending on the Home page links available, you can browse
Corporate intranet sites or browse the World Wide Web.
Chapter 5: Using the Web Access Application covers navigating Web access screens and
pages, and provides information about entering text on Web pages. Making a call from the Web
Access application is covered in Chapter 2: Using Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone.

4620/4620SW/4621SW Telephone Options
Access the Options function using the Options (
) button below and to the right of the
display area. Using Options menus, you set certain phone parameters, such as display area
contrast, how you want the Redial button to work, the language in which information displays,
when you want your saved information backed up or restored, or how you want your Feature
buttons labeled. You can also view telephone status screens for troubleshooting or information
purposes. Chapter 6: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Options covers all options.

Issue 2.2 April 2005

Introducing Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone

Additional 4620/4620SW/4621SW Functionality
Push Feature
Your System Administrator can “push” a Web page, a text message, an audio message, or any
combination of those items to your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone. Depending on how
the pushed material is administered, it may override what is otherwise presented by the
telephone. In general, the pushed content is also accompanied by one or more notification
tones. Specifically, your System Administrator can:
●

Use the telephone’s browser to display a specific Web page instead of displaying whatever
you were viewing. Alternatively, the System Administrator can have a Web page available
in the background, for you to view when you use the Web application. Typically, in this
second case, you would generally get a message on the display’s top line alerting you to
the waiting Web page.

●

Present a text message on the top display line. This message may temporarily overwrite
whatever is otherwise displayed on the top line.

●

Present an audio message, even if you are on a call. If you are not on a call, the telephone
usually goes off-hook automatically on the Speaker. If you are on a call, the party with
whom you are speaking is automatically put on Hold and cannot hear the pushed
message. Once you start hearing the pushed message, you can stop listening by selecting
a Call Appearance Line (for example, the line you were on when the pushed message
came in), going back on-hook, etc. Typically though, pushed audio messages involve
emergencies or other important information, and should be listened to. Once a message
completes, you can return to your existing call.

Automatic Backup/Retrieval Feature
If your telephone is appropriately administered, (see Backup/Restore Options), you can store
your Speed Dial button data, options settings and other personal settings on an FTP (File
Transfer Protocol) server in your network. When you log in to any 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP
Telephone supporting Release 2.1 or later software, that telephone attempts to retrieve your
data from that server. Assuming both the original phone and the second phone are properly
administered, this second telephone displays your data and settings, even if you have never
used that particular phone before. Your System Administrator has more information about how
this feature operates.
If the telephone supports the automatic retrieval procedure described in the previous
paragraph, your phone also automatically stores changes you make to associated button data,
settings, etc.

Chapter 2: Using Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP
Telephone

Introduction
This chapter describes how to make calls, receive calls, retrieve voice mail messages, and log
off your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone. The telephone Line/Feature buttons that assist
in call handling are also covered in this chapter.

Call Appearances
In the Phone application, a call appearance, by default, takes up the entire display width, while
administered Feature buttons take up half the display width. When a call appearance is
full-width, use the Line/Feature buttons on either side of that row to select that call appearance,
and usually, all associated messages. When a call appearance is half-width, for example, the
full width default has been changed, use only the Line/Feature buttons on the appropriate side
of that row to select that call appearance. In the case of half-width call appearances,
call-associated messages show on the top display line instead of on that row. See
Chapter 6: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Options for information about setting the call
appearance width.
Depending on how your phone is administered, you might have some blank Line/Feature button
labels. Pressing a Line/Feature button associated with a blank label has no effect.

Making Calls
You have several ways of making calls. You can:
●

lift the handset,

●

activate a headset if one is connected to your phone,

●

use the Speaker, or

●

use an automatic dial feature like speed dial, redial, or abbreviated dialing.

This section describes all of these calling methods.

speed dialing a number programmed on a Speed Dial button,

●

using an administered Abbreviated Dialing Feature button to initiate a call,

●

dialing a party listed on your Call Log, or

●

dialing a party from a Web page displayed through the Web Access application.
Note:
The 4620 IP Telephone often receives telephone numbers through the Call Log
or Web Access application that are not immediately “dialable.” For example, the
Call Log might contain an incoming call from the following U.S. phone number:
732-555-1234. In general, if you try to dial that number as is, the call cannot go

through - first you have to dial one or more digits to obtain an outside line, access
your corporate telephone network, or add some other code before you can return
the call. As of Release 1.8, the 4620 IP Telephone can, if appropriately
administered, automatically dial those “extra” digits for you. So with one touch,
the telephone automatically dials 91-732-555-1234. Your telephone administrator
has information on setting up this Enhanced Dialing capability.
If all lines are in use, automatic dialing will not work.

Redialing a party
Depending on how you have set up your Redial option, selecting Redial automatically dials the
most recent number dialed, or displays a list of the last six outgoing calls for selection of the
number to be dialed. Chapter 6: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Options, covers setting
the Redial feature. Both procedures follow.

Note:

Note:
Your Telephone Administrator can turn off the Redial feature, or can restrict your
phone to dialing only the last number dialed. If the Redial feature is turned off,
pressing the Redial button generates an error tone. If the Redial feature is
restricted to only the last number dialed, follow the instructions below for redialing
the last number called.

Redialing the last number called:
Press the Redial (

) Feature button.

The last number dialed is automatically redialed.
Redialing using a list of the last six numbers called:
1. Press the Redial (

) Feature button.

currently on Hold), all Redial entries are disabled. If you press a number for redialing while
in this state, an error beep tone sounds and no further action occurs.
3. Proceed with the call.
A Call Log entry is created for this call.

Chapter 3: Using the Speed Dial Application

Introduction
This chapter describes how to add, update, and delete a Speed Dial button label. Up to 108
Speed Dial buttons are allowed, each containing a name and corresponding telephone number.

Entering Data on Speed Dial Screens
Review this section if you are unfamiliar with entering data using a telephone dialpad or using
softkeys for editing functions.

Entering Characters Using the Dialpad
Use the dialpad keys 0 through 9, * and # to enter characters in a Name or Number field.
To select a field, press the Line/Feature button on either side of the field to which you want to
move.
When entering a Name, the first press of a dialpad key displays the first alphabetic character
associated with that key to the right of the current cursor position. This character is shown in
upper case and the cursor does not move. A subsequent press of the same key replaces the
character shown with the next alphabetic character assigned to that key (still in upper case), or
the number assigned to that key, if all three alphabetic characters have been displayed.
For example, pressing the “2” on your dialpad displays the letter “A.” Pressing the 2 key again
replaces the A with a “B,” pressing it again replaces the B with a “C” and pressing it again
replaces the C with a “2.” Pressing it again redisplays the letter “A,” and so on. Pressing a
different key moves the cursor one position to the right, displaying the first alphabetic character
associated with that key. All letters after the first display by default in lower case. Repeat this
key press/entry process to enter the rest of the party’s name. In addition, you can use the Left
Arrow (
) and Right Arrow (
) softkeys to move the cursor to the left or right,
respectively.
When entering a telephone number in the Number field, your 4620 IP Telephone recognizes a
key press as a number (or typographic character such as * or #) and automatically moves the
cursor to the right.

Issue 2.2 April 2005

Using the Speed Dial Application

Note:
You can enter text while on a call, but you automatically exit text entry mode if
you go off-hook (either by the headset/handset or by a fixed button like Transfer).
You also exit text entry mode if you cause another screen to display (for example,
by pressing Save or Cancel, or pressing the
button).

Note:

Editing During or After Entry
Editing commands display below the Number field, next to certain Line/Feature buttons. The
commands and their actions are:

Note:

●

Clear - Remove all characters from the field in which the cursor currently resides.

●

Case - Change the character to the right of the cursor from lower to upper case or vice
versa, depending upon its original case. Note that when entering a name, the first
character entered is initially displayed in upper case, with subsequent characters initially
displayed in lower case letters.

●

Backspace - Delete the character to the immediate left of the cursor.

●

Apostrophe - Insert an apostrophe at the cursor position.

●

Comma - Insert a comma at the cursor position. In a Number field, a comma creates a
short pause when the telephone automatically dials that number.

●

Hyphen - Insert a hyphen at the cursor position.

●

Space - Insert a blank space at the cursor position.
Note:
Some of the editing commands, such as Case, appear only when there is data in
the field in which the cursor is positioned. Pressing one of these buttons causes
the respective action to be taken at the current cursor position. For example, in
entering the name “D’Aleo,” pressing the Line/Feature button labeled
Apostrophe after entering the letter “D” inserts an apostrophe following that
letter.

Chapter 4: Using the Call Log Application

Introduction
This chapter describes the three Call Logs available on your 4620 IP Telephone. It also provides
procedures for adding a Call Log entry to a Speed Dial button and deleting one or all Call Log
entries.
For information on calling a party listed in any Call Log, see Making Calls in Chapter 2: Using
Your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone of this guide.
Note:
Your Telephone Administrator can turn off the ability to display the Call Logs, or

Log feature has been turned off, the Call Log softkey is not labeled, and pressing
the blank softkey has no effect. If the ability to transfer an entry to a Speed Dial
button has been turned off, the softkey labeled Add to SD is not displayed.

Note:

About the Call Log
Call logs are helpful for:
●

tracking who called while you were away from the phone,

●

redialing the number of a previous call you made, or

●

obtaining telephone numbers from previous calls.

The 4620 also allows you to set up a Speed Dial button for any call listed in a log, facilitating
dialing of frequently called numbers.
All calls made to or from your 4620 IP Telephone are added to one of three Call Logs - Outgoing
Calls, Incoming Answered Calls, and Missed (unanswered) Calls. The Missed Call Log displays
automatically whenever you access the Call Log application, but you can quickly access a
different log if desired.
Each log has a main screen, which lists the calls in chronological order (newest to oldest) and a
detail screen. The main screens provide the Name and Number of the calling or called party, if

the current date). The details screen displays all this information (in a wider format), reminds
you of what type of call it was, and allows you to take certain actions with that entry.

Chapter 5: Using the Web Access Application

Introduction
One of the exciting aspects of the 4620 IP Telephone is its optional Web Access application.
You can actually use your telephone to access your Corporate intranet and the World Wide
Web.
Your System Administrator can optionally design a Home page on which your Web options
reside or use an Avaya-provided Home page for this purpose. For security purposes, your
System Administrator can optionally require that an authentication screen display upon
selection of the Web Access application. In this case you must submit a User Name and
Password before gaining access to the Home and other Web pages/sites.
Note that the Web Access application offers a basic browser capability. The application does
not support all Internet data types, nor is it intended to replace your PC’s browser. The 4620’s
Web functions are geared towards use on a small (six line) display screen, more like those of a
Personal Data Assistant (PDA) or cellular telephone.
This chapter describes the basic functions available with the Web Access application. These
functions include:
●

accessing and navigating pages linked to the Home page,

●

entering text on applicable Web pages, and

●

setting up a Speed Dial entry for a name and associated telephone number found on
applicable Web sites.

Because your System Administrator can customize the Web Access application for specific
business use, not all features described in this chapter may apply. Other features that result
from customizing may not be described here. For this reason, contact your System
Administrator for specific information about your Web Access application before proceeding.
Because customizing can affect the flow of Web-related activity, this chapter describes only the
primary Web screen types.

Issue 2.2 April 2005

Using the Web Access Application

Web Access Authentication
Depending on how your Web Access application is administered, you might have to provide

Entering Text on Web Pages
Text entry pages are those on which you can enter data, for example, a name, a Web address
(URL), or other identifying information. A set of square brackets, each separated by three blank
spaces
identifies a page’s text entry areas.
1. To enter data, first press the Line/Feature button to the left of the line on which you want to
enter text.
Four new softkeys display: Done, Bksp, and Space, with the fourth softkey labeled “alpha”
by default. This softkey is called the Mode softkey because it changes the mode of text
being entered. Any reference in this manual to the “Mode softkey” refers to the fourth
softkey when entering text on Web pages.
2. Use the dialpad to enter text. Use the softkey functions to facilitate your entry, as described
below.
If you want to

Then

Line/Feature button to the left of the next text line you want to
enter, press one of the Line/Feature buttons on the right side
of the display to move to a different line or page, or press the
Done softkey.
Pressing a left-side Line/Feature button displays a cursor in
the text entry box.
Pressing a right-side Line/Feature button produces the result

Entering Characters Using the Dialpad
Use the dialpad keys 0 through 9, * and # to enter characters in a text entry field/line.
When entering a name or other alphabetic text, the first press of a dialpad key displays the first
alphabetic character associated with that key to the right of the current cursor position. This
character is shown in the case displayed on the alpha softkey. The cursor does not move. A
subsequent press of the same key replaces the character shown with the next alphabetic
character assigned to that key. You can use the # and * keys to display those symbols, even in
alpha and ALPHA mode.
For example, with the Mode softkey displaying “ALPHA” or “alpha,” pressing the “2” on your
dialpad displays the letter “A” or “a,” depending upon which alphabetic mode is active. Pressing
the 2 key again replaces the A with a “B” (or “b”). Pressing the same key again replaces the B
with a “C” (or “c”). Pressing the same key again replaces the C with an “A” (or “a”), and so on.
Pressing a different key moves the cursor one position to the right and displays the first
alphabetic character associated with that key. Repeat this key press/entry process to complete
the text field. In addition, you can use the Bksp or Space softkeys to move the cursor to the left
or right, respectively.
When the Mode softkey displays Num, your telephone recognizes a key press as a number (or
a typographic character such as * or #), and advances the cursor one position to the right.
When the Mode softkey displays Symbol, use the Line/Feature buttons to select the desired
symbol. Use the More softkey or the Page Right or Page Left buttons on the phone to access
additional pages of symbols. When selected, the symbol is automatically inserted to the right of
the last character in that field on that line, and you automatically return to the alpha mode.

●

the location and port (connection) of the Call Server itself,

●

the call routing and mask addresses, and

●

the identification of the File Server with which your telephone interacts.

Although technical in nature, your System Administrator might ask you for information to track
questions about or problems with phone functions or connections.

Viewing Quality of Service (QoS) Status
QoS refers to several mechanisms used to improve audio quality over the network.

Backup/Restore Options
The 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone’s backup and restore options allow you to:
●

Back up your options/preference settings, your Speed Dial button labels, names, and
numbers, and Feature button labels. This occurs automatically whenever you save a
change to any one of those settings or buttons. Automatic backup protects this data
against system failure, by allowing you to restore your backup file of active settings and
button labels.

●

Restore options settings, Speed Dial button labels, names and numbers, and Feature
button labels following a phone failure or replacement.

●

Establish or modify FTP (File Transfer Protocol) settings such as the network server
address, directory path for saving backed-up data, and a User ID and Password for server
access through your phone.

●

Verify whether an automatic backup has occurred.

Because each telephone system has unique characteristics and settings, modifying the Backup/
Restore options usually requires your System Administrator’s assistance. For example, it is
unlikely that you know the specific Server IP Address to enter when setting up FTP parameters
without consulting your System Administrator.

Note:

Setting a User ID, Password, and other FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) Options
Your System Administrator establishes certain parameters for each 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP
Telephone in your network. Most parameters are established at the network server and apply to
all telephones on the network. Other parameters can be unique to a specific site, department, or
group of telephones. Those settings which can be unique to your phone appear on the FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) Setup screen. They are:

Note:

●

Server IP Address - the specific server to which your 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP
Telephone is connected, for backup, restore, and other network-related functions. If your
phone has been repaired, this value is set to zero and should be re-established.

●

Directory Path - the server location to which your telephone’s data (for example, Speed
Dial labels, names and numbers, options and Feature button labels) is sent during a
backup, and from which data is restored.

●

User ID and Password - unique identifiers assigned to a phone user for server security
purposes.
Note:
All FTP settings are set to blank upon phone manufacture and repair.
Because FTP information can impact both server operation and the proper
backup of your phone data, contact your System Administrator before updating
any settings.
The User ID and Password in the following procedure provide access to your
server. Such access allows you to perform backup and other (future)
server-related features. The User ID and Password are not the Avaya
Communication Manager registration ID and password, which identify you as an
authorized user of your respective system.

Chapter 7: Headsets and Handsets

Introduction
This chapter provides information about headsets and specialized handsets that are compatible
with your IP telephone.

Headsets for 4600 Series IP Telephones
Avaya supports only those headsets and headset adapters that carry an Avaya brand or logo.
There are a variety of Avaya headsets that are compatible with your 4600 Series IP Telephone.
To see the available headsets, go to http://www.avayaheadsets.com/index.html.
Headsets require headset adapters/connectors to operate. Avaya offers three types of headset
adapters for 4600 Series IP Terminals:
●

The MIP-1 provides remote call answering and call initialization features with the Avaya
Cordless Headset.

●

The Modular base amplifier (M12LUCM), which is a high-performance solution for users
who continuously wear headsets, and

●

The HIP cord, which allows basic, direct headset connection to your Avaya IP Telephone.

Avaya also offers a cordless headset solution (LKA10) with up to a 150 ft. mobile range from the
base. The LKA10, when used with the MIP-1, offers remote call answering and call initialization
features on the 4610SW, 4620, 4620SW/4621SW and 4630SW IP Telephones. The MIP-1
must be ordered separately. The LKA10, when used without the MIP-1, operates with other
Avaya IP Telephones, but cannot be used for remote call answering or call initialization.
The table below summarizes Avaya’s corded headset connectors and cordless headset
choices, and provides ordering codes.

Testing your telephone to ensure that it is operating correctly.

Basic Troubleshooting. This chart provides the most common problems an end user might
encounter and suggested resolutions.

Application-specific troubleshooting. This chart describes problems and solutions specific
to a 4620 application (Phone, Speed Dial, Call Log, or Web Access).

●

Resetting or power-cycling your phone, when Basic Troubleshooting does not resolve a
problem.

Additionally, Chapter 6: 4620/4620SW/4621SW IP Telephone Options describes several status
screens to use to troubleshoot certain problems, as requested by your System Administrator.
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 following chart provides an
overview of the tones you hear. Check with your System Administrator to verify if the
descriptions are accurate for your system. Ringing Tones accompany an incoming call.
Feedback Tones are those which you hear through the handset (receiver) or the Speaker.

Note:

Note:
The PBX, not the telephone, generates these tones, which can differ from this
list. This difference is especially true when the PBX is outside the United States.
