These Application Notes describe the steps to configure the Nortel Contivity 1100 VPN Router to support IPSec
Tunnel termination using Local Credential authentication for Avaya 96xx series IP Phone.
Avaya 96xx series IP Phone has software based IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN) client integrated into the
firmware of an Avaya 96XX Series IP Telephone. This capability allows Avaya IP Telephone to be plugged in
and used over a secure IPSec VPN from any broadband Internet connection. End users experience the same IP
telephone features as if they were using the telephone in the office. Avaya IP Telephone models supporting the
Avaya 96xx series IP Phone firmware include the 9620, 9620C, 9620L, 9630, 9640, 9650, 9650C and 9670.
Please Note that 9610 does not support VPN. Please Note that VPN feature is supported in H.323 based IP
phones and not SIP based. Also Spice 3.1 H.323 phones are supported in Avaya Communication Manager 3.1,
Build 4.0+.
Release 3.1 of the Avaya 96xx series IP Phone firmware, used in these Application Notes, extends the support
of head-end VPN gateways to include Nortel VPN Router (formerly known as Nortel Contivity) platforms. The
configuration steps described in these Application Notes utilize a Nortel VPN Router 1100.
The Avaya 96xx series IP Phone utilizes the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Protocol for IPSec tunnel
establishment and authentication with the Nortel VPN Router.
