Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
The Avaya E159 IP Media Station supports the most popular iOS and Android smart devices that
enterprise workers use. The media station facilitates enterprise-grade integration with Avaya Aura
®
Release 6.2 FP3 and later and Avaya IP Office Release 9.0.3 and later telephony servers.
The media station app can route calls over the enterprise SIP network of the telephony server or
over the wireless network of the cellular carrier. Whether the calls route over SIP or the wireless
network, the media station speakerphone or wired handset provides unmatched audio quality.
Bluetooth
You can connect your smart device to the media station using Bluetooth to provide a speakerphone
when making calls on your device. You can also use Bluetooth for playing audio streams from your
device. As with all Bluetooth devices, audio quality can vary based on the quality of the Bluetooth
signal from the smart device.
Important:
You can pair many smart devices with a media station, but only one can be active at a time.
Power to charge your smart devices
The media station uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) and an optional AC power adapter. The power
adapter has four snap-in connectors that are compatible with sockets used in several countries and
regions. With this power arrangement, you can charge your smart devices when you connect your
devices to the media station. Smart devices charge more quickly when using the media station AC
adapter than when using only PoE.
Note:
Some smart devices require more charging power than the media station provides. Your smart
device might charge slower than when connected to the native AC power adapter of the device.
If the device does not charge well enough when connected to the media station, you must
charge the device using the native AC power adapter.
Note:
The media station stops charging your smart device when you are active on a call.
