  • Page 2 Application Notes do not address configuration of the Avaya 4602 SIP telephones, which were successfully tested using the standard product configuration steps. The main difference between the Cisco 7940 and 7960 SIP telephones is the number of line appearances supported by each phone (two and six, respectively). The configuration steps described in these Application Notes apply to both models.

    Note: For Outboard Proxy SIP configuration, the station extension must be different than that administered for the Avaya Converged Communications Server. The Communication Manager extension will be the “public” extension that users associate with their phones. The Avaya Converged Communications Server extension will be a “private” extension that is used in the system configuration, but is not dialed by users.
