Avaya IP Deskphones
The 9600 Series IP deskphone product line uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology with
Ethernet interfaces. The 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G deskphones introduced in Release
6.0 supplement the existing Avaya IP Solutions platform.
The 9600 Series IP deskphones introduced in Release 6.0 support DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS
over IPv4/UDP and IPv6/UDP including Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and Internet
Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Both the protocols enhance deskphone administration
and servicing. These deskphones use DHCP to obtain dynamic IP Addresses and HTTP or
HTTPS to download new software versions or customized settings.
With all the 9600 Series IP deskphones, you need only one IP connection on the desktop for
both a deskphone set and a personal computer using an Ethernet switch.
The following information pertains to Australian law:
This equipment shall be installed and maintained by trained service personnel. All the input/
output ports are classified as Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV, in the meaning of IEC 60950).
To maintain safety compliance when connecting the equipment electrically to other equipment,
the interconnecting circuits shall be selected to provide continued conformance of clause 2.3
for SELV circuits (generally, double/reinforced insulation to 240 Vac rms to any primary/mains
circuitry and 120 Vac rms to any telecommunications network circuitry). To ensure that these
conditions are adhered to, interconnect the equipment only with the already approved/certified
equipment.
Updating deskphone software for installation
About this task
A deskphone that is shipped from the factory might not contain the most up-to-date software

an HTTP server might be initiated. The software download provides the deskphone upgraded
functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the media server provides the capability for
a remote restart of the IP telephone. When you restart the deskphone, the deskphone
