Avaya IP Office 8.1 Product Description page 110

96x1 Series IP Telephones
Besides significant quality improvements, the latest 96x1 firmware provides support for the 9611G set on IP
Office.
The build VPN Client of 96x1 phones is currently not supported with the IP Office. This feature will be tested
and released with a future IP Office release. Avaya recommends use of the 9600 Series phones if a VPN Client
is required.
For information about supported Bluetooth headsets, please refer to the Avaya DevConnect website.
9608 and 9611G IP Telephones
These button-orientated models provide a more traditional user experience with dual color buttons on either
side of the graphical display. These are ideal for customers who are migrating from a traditional digital
environment and desire to move to IP with minimal change. As well as targeting more traditional users, the
9608 and 9611G are suited for Everyday users who use voice as an element within their business
communications but are not considered power users.
The 9608 and 9611G models have eight (8) buttons around the display with four (4) on the left and four (4) on
the right. Users can select to display information in a single column with four rows or in two columns with four
rows each, depending on their needs. In two-column mode, approximately thirteen characters can be displayed
on a line in each column. The exact number depends on the language and the characters because the font
includes variable width characters.
Avaya continues to focus on low power and this model is Power over Ethernet Class 1 (802.3af). The 9608 and
9611G retain the industrial design of the other 9600 Series models. Please note that the power requirement
and PoE class of the sets varies based on the configuration of connected interfaces such as button modules.
The 9608 and 9611G telephones are ready for future support of Wideband Audio on IP Office, giving a future
proof investment path. Both models include full duplex hands-free support with a speaker and microphone.
Both sets include support for a new 2 x 12 button module on which features, speed dials, bridged or individual
call appearances can be programmed. A maximum of three (3) button modules can be connected.
Each model also includes one touch access to key applications including Contacts, History and Home. One touch
access to these core applications simplifies the user experience and eliminates the need to navigate through
menus to get to the most commonly used features.
On top of that, when connected to IP Office these telephones will offer access to advanced IP Office features
like Visual Voice, IP Office Feature menu or centralized storage for call log, system directory and personal
directory. With that they offer full support of the hot-desking capabilities of IP Office.
The 9608 has a 3.8in/9.7cm monochrome display, while the 9611G features a 3.5in/8.9cm color screen. The
dual position stand allows the sets to be positioned at approximately 40° or 60°. The display is fixed and is not
adjustable like other 9600 Series IP Deskphones. The 9608 and 9611G do not support removable faceplates.
