Introduction The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet interfaces. The IP telephones supplement the existing Avaya IP Solutions platform. The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS over IPv4/UDP which enhance the administration and servicing of the telephones. These telephones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP Addresses and HTTP or HTTPS to download new software versions or customized settings for the telephones.
9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Installation Series SIP IP Telephones, see the instructions boxed with the telephone. Wall or desk mount instructions are also available on the Avaya support Web site http://www.avaya.com/support. Software The 9600 Series IP Telephones ship from the factory set to the H.323 protocol. To run the telephones in a SIP environment, you must convert the telephone(s) to SIP settings.
