Table 5-1 below identifies some of the possible operational problems that might be encountered
after successful installation of a 4600 Series IP Telephone. Problems that might be encountered
during installation, and how to conduct a Self-Test of the telephone, are discussed in the
Troubleshooting chapter of the 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide. The 4630 IP
Telephone User’s Guide and 4620 IP Telephone User’s Guide also contain guidance for users
having problems with specific 4630 and 4620 applications, respectively.
Most of the problems reported by users of a 4600 Series IP Telephone are likely not to be
problems with the telephone itself. More likely, the problems will be centered on the LAN,
where Quality of Service, server administration, and other issues can impact end-user
perception of IP Telephone performance.
