Telephone Initialization Process
These steps offer a high-level description of the information exchanged when the telephone
initializes and registers. This description assumes that all equipment is properly administered
ahead of time. This description can help you understand how the Avaya Agent Deskphone
16CC telephones relate to the routers and servers in your network.
Step 1: Telephone to Network
The telephone is appropriately installed and powered. After a short initialization process, the
telephone identifies the LAN speed and sends a message out into the network, identifying itself
and requesting further information. A router on the network receives and relays this message to
the appropriate DHCP server.
Step 2: DHCP Server to Telephone
The DHCP server provides information to the telephone, as described in DHCP and File
Servers on page 49. Among other data passed to the telephone is the IP Address of the HTTP
or HTTPS server.
Step 3: Telephone and File Server
The Avaya Agent Deskphone 16CC can download script files, binary files, and settings files
from either an HTTP or HTTPS server. The telephone queries the file server, which transmits a
script file to the telephone. This script file, at a minimum, tells the telephone which binary file the
telephone must use. The binary file is the software that has the telephony functionality.
The telephone uses the script file to determine if it has the proper binary file. If the telephone
determines the proper binary file is missing, the telephone requests a binary file download from
the file server. The file server then downloads the file and conducts some checks to ensure that
the file was downloaded properly. If the telephone determines it already has the proper file, the
telephone proceeds as described in the next paragraph without downloading the binary file
again.
The telephone checks and loads the binary file, then uses the script file to look for a settings file.
The settings file can contain settings you have administered for any or all of the 16CC
telephones in your call center/network. For more information about this download process and
settings file, see Chapter 7:
Telephone Software and Binary Files.
