Chapter 4: Avaya Aura

Call server requirements

Avaya Communication Manager (CM) extends advanced telephony features to SIP deskphones
via Outboard Proxy SIP (OPS) support. This feature set offers enhanced calling features in
advance of SIP protocol definitions and deskphone implementations.
Before you perform administration tasks, ensure that the proper hardware is in place, and your
call server software is compatible with the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones. Avaya recommends
the latest CM software and the latest SIP deskphone firmware.
