Chapter 3: Startup

The 3631 telephone is started by pressing the End button. There are opportunities

throughout the startup process to interrupt processing. This may be accomplished by

pressing either the Advanced or Offline softkeys, which provide access to the Advanced

and Offline menus, respectively.

Status messages are displayed on the telephone throughout the startup process. There are

two modes for startup messages: Normal and Verbose. You may access Verbose

messages by pressing the Right navigation key. Once in Verbose mode, you may scroll

up or down to view messages.

Startup Flow

Following is a summary of the 3631 telephone startup process.

1. The phone loads software from its flash memory into RAM.

• The Avaya logo and progress bar are displayed at this stage.

2. The keypad backlight is illuminated.

• The OneX animation and sound are played.

3. (Optional, but enabled by default.) The phone prompts for the SIM card PIN.

4. The phone attempts to associate with an AP.

• Access Profile data is used during the association attempt.

• The user may interrupt automated Access Profile processing and manually select

an Access Profile.

5. If association is unsuccessful using Access Profiles, the phone automatically searches

for nearby WiFi networks.

• The user may also initiate the search manually via the Search softkey.

6. (Optional) The phone attempts 802.1X authentication, automatically supplying the

user’s 802.1X identity, username, and password as necessary.

7. (Optional) The phone contacts the DHCP server to obtain IP address and other

information.

• Alternatively the phone may be configured to use static addressing.

8. The phone performs router discovery.

• The phone restarts if a router is not found. If there is no router on the network,

another machine must be able to reply to the ARP request for the GW IP address.

9. The phone downloads the 46xxsettings.txt file from an HTTP server.

Note:

The 3631 downloads the 46xxsettings from an HTTP server. The 46xxsettings file

cannot be downloaded using the Communication Manager HTTPS service.

10. The phone checks its firmware version, and initiates an upgrade if necessary.

11. The phone attempts to contact a call server and perform H.323 registration.

12. The phone prompts for an extension and password.

• The user may invoke unnamed registration by selecting the Guest softkey.

13. The phone proceeds to register the extension with a call server.

• The user is notified if an extension already is in use.
