This document describes the installation of these telephones and post-installation maintenance
issues. For details about using the features provided by the telephones, see the user
documentation for each telephone. For information about desk or wall mounting any of the 9600
Series 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

As shipped from the factory, the 9600 Series IP Telephone may not contain the most up-to-date
software for registration and operation. When the telephone is first plugged in, a software
download from an HTTP server might be initiated. The software download gives the telephone
upgraded functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the Avaya Media Server provides the
capability for a remote restart of the IP telephone. As a consequence of restarting, the
telephone automatically starts reboot procedures which result in a download if new software is
available. Chapter 4: Maintaining 9600 Series IP Telephones

Pre-Installation Checklist

Before plugging in the 9600 Series IP Telephone, verify that all the following requirements are
met. Failure to do so prevents the telephone from working properly and can have a negative
impact on the network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and IP telephone.
Verify These Network Requirements
1. Ensure that the LAN uses Ethernet Category 5e cabling running the IPv4 version of Internet
Protocol.
2. Avaya supports 9600 Series IP Telephones running Software Release 3.0 only on Avaya
Communication Manager (CM) 3.1 and later switches. CM Release 3.1 software supports
9600 Series IP Telephones only when aliased as 4600 Series IP Telephones. Specifically,
the 9610 and 9620 have to be aliased as a 4610SW and the 9630/9630G, 9640/9640G, and
9650/9650C have to be aliased as a 4620SW. Avaya Communication Manager Releases
4.0 and greater software provide native support for all 9600 Series IP Telephones,
eliminating the requirement to alias 9600 IP Telephones.
