These Application Notes describe the procedures for configuring the Extreme Networks 8500G48T-e module to provide inline Power over Ethernet (PoE) to Avaya 1600//9600 Series IP
Telephones registered to Avaya Aura® Communication Manager and Avaya Aura® Session
Manager.
Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DevConnect compliance
testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DevConnect
Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction
Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows both power and data to be simultaneously carried over
standard Ethernet cables. PoE-enabled Ethernet switches can supply power directly to Ethernet
devices, thereby simplifying installation and removing the need for separate power supplies for
those devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard defines the mechanisms for Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE), such as PoE-enabled Ethernet switches, to detect, classify, and supply power
to Powered Devices (PDs), such as PoE-enabled IP telephone. In the compliance-tested
configuration described in these Application Notes, the Extreme Networks 8500-G48T-e module
with 8800 S-POE service module is configured to supply inline PoE to Avaya PDs. No Extreme
Networks specific configuration is required on Avaya Aura® Communication Manager or Avaya
Aura® Session Manager to support this solution.
The 8500-G48T-e is a single slot module offering 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connectivity for
the BlackDiamond (BD) 8800 series Ethernet switch. The 8800 S-POE service module is
installed to provide PoE capability.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the Avaya IP Telephones covered in these Application Notes include
the following:
Avaya 1603 IP Telephone with PoE Splitter
Avaya 1603SW IP Telephone with PoE Splitter
Avaya 1608 IP Telephone
Avaya 1616 IP Telephone with/without BM32 Button Module
Avaya 9601 IP Telephone
Avaya 9608 IP Telephone
Avaya 9611G IP Telephone
Avaya 9620L IP Telephone
Avaya 9620C IP Telephone
Avaya 9621G IP Telephone
Avaya 9630G IP Telephone
Avaya 9640G IP Telephone
Avaya 9641G IP Telephone with/without SMB24 Button Module
Avaya 9650C IP Telephone
Avaya 9670C IP Telephone

2. General Test Approach and Test Results
The general test approach was to:
Connect the Avaya IP Telephones to ports on the 8500-G48T-e module and verify that
they successfully boot.
Verify completion of a test call.
Power-cycle the 8500-G48T-e module and verify successful boot operation and
registration of the devices
2.1. Interoperability Compliance Testing
The interoperability testing focused on verifying PoE interoperability between the Extreme
Networks 8500-G48T-e module, Avaya IP Telephones.
The power tests included verification of the following after the powered device was connected to
the switch:
Successful boot operation (PoE).
For SIP Avaya IP Telephones, successful registration with Avaya Aura® Session
Manager.
For H.323 Avaya IP Telephones, successful registration with Avaya Aura®
Communication Manager.
Completion of a test call.
Connecting a mix of Avaya IP Telephones to the switch, power cycling the switch and
verifying successful boot operation and registration of the devices to with Avaya Aura®
Session Manager and Avaya Aura® Communication Manager.
2.2. Test Results
All Power over Ethernet test cases completed successfully. The 8500-G48T-e module
successfully provided inline power to the different Avaya IP telephones. During compliance
testing, Avaya IP Telephones successfully obtained power and transferred data over standard
Ethernet cables from the Extreme Networks 8500-G48T-e module.

IP Telephones when connected to the 8500-G48T-e module. The power listed as measured by
the Extreme Networks BD8810 switch is for an idle phone. Cable length and impedance affects
power usage, so the measurements listed here may vary based on the cable used.
