Chapter 1:Introduction
About This Guide
This guide is for personnel who administer Avaya Communication Manager, DHCP, HTTP/
HTTPS servers for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones, a Local Area Network (LAN), SIP
Enablement Services (SES) or a Network Time server.
The 9600 Series IP Telephones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet line
interfaces and support both SIP and H.323 protocols. The 9600 Series IP Telephones provide
support for DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS over IPv4/UDP, which enhance the administration and
servicing of the telephones. These telephones use DHCP to ob t ain dynamic IP Add resses, and
HTTPS or HTTP to download new versions of software or customized settings for the
telephones.
!
Important:
Important:This document covers administration for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones only . For
administration for 9600 Series IP Telephones using the H.323 protocol, see the
Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series IP Telephones Administrator
Guide (Document Number 16-300698), available at: www.avaya.com/support
.
This document does not cover administration for Avaya Distributed Office. Full
documentation for Avaya Distributed Office is available on the Avaya support
Web site, www.avaya.com/support
Avaya does not provide product support for many of the products mentioned in
this document. Take care to ensure that there is adequate technical support
available for servers used with any 9600 Series IP and/or SIP IP Telephone
system. If the servers are not functioning correctly, the 9600 Series IP
Telephones might not operate correctly.

Introduction
Major Differences Between 9600 Series SIP IP and 9600
Series H.323 IP Telephones
Review this section if your administrative environment includes both SIP and H.323 signaling
protocols for 9600 Series IP Telephones.
General IP Telephony - Two major protocols handle Voice over IP (VoIP) signaling, Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323. The two protocols provide connection control and call
progress signaling, but in very different ways. These protocols can be used simultaneously over
the same network, but in general, no endpoint supports both p rotocols at the same time. Neither
protocol is necessarily superior, but each offers some unique advantages. SIP telephones, for
example, do not require centralized call servers, and can route telephone calls when a URL
identifies the destination. H.323 telephones leverage the call server’s presence into the
potential availability of hundreds of telephone-related features that a standalone SIP telephone
cannot provide.
Signaling - 96xx Series IP Telephones ship from the factory with H.323 signaling. To use the
SIP protocol, applicable H.323 96xx Series IP Telephones must be appropriately converted and
configured. See the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide for detailed conversion/configuration information.
Avaya Communication Manager Release - 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones are supported
only by Communication Manager Release 4.0 and greater. SIP telephones use Avaya OPS
(Outbound SIP Proxy) features on the “trunk” side of Avaya Communication Manager whereas
the H.323 (IP) telephones are supported on the “line” side of the Communication Manager.
When a 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone is running under Communication Manager Release 5.0,
an additional feature, Extend Call, is available.
Required Servers - SIP 9600 Series IP Telephones use two [additional] servers that H.323
telephones do not:
- SIP Proxy server - provided by SIP Enablement Services (SES) software, and
- Network Time server - which controls time-related parameters.
These servers are not necessarily separate hardware units.
Features & Functions supported by H.323 9600 Series IP Telephones, Not
SIP - Button modules are not currently supported by 9600 SIP IP Telephones.
Backup/Restore - 9600 Series (H.323) IP Telephones use HTTP to store backup files. 9600
Series SIP IP Telephones use the Personal Profile Manager (PPM) functionality within SIP
Enablement Services (SES) for backup and restore functions.
Settings File & System Parameters - Both SIP and H.323 9600 Series IP Telephones (and
4600 Series IP Telephones) use the same settings file. Some of the same system parameters
are used, however, numerous SIP-specific parameters support SIP operation only. In H.323
9600 Series IP Telephones, the parameters OPSTAT and APPSTAT control all user interface
functions, whereas 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones use a separate parameter (for example
ENABLE_CONTACTS, ENABLE_CALLLOG) for each user interface function.

Change History
Language Support - SIP telephones support the same languages as H.323 telephones, with
the exception of Hebrew. SIP does not support Hebrew or the English Large Text Font for any
language. Further, all SIP language files have .xml file extensions whereas H.323 language
files have .txt file extensions.
SNMP & MIBs - Although both SIP and H.323 telephones support SNMP v2c and have custom
Management Information Bases (MIBs), the MIBs are formatted somewhat differently.
RSVP & VMON(VMM) - 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not use RSVP (Resource
ReSerVation Protocol) software to provide real-time monitoring and historical data of audio
quality for VoIP calls. 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do support Avaya Voice over IP (VoIP)
Monitoring Manager (VMON, now called VMM). 9600 Series IP T elephones use both RSVP and
VMON.
QoS - Unlike H.323 telephones, 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not use Avaya
Communication Manager to set Quality of Service (QoS). The SIP IP telephones use the
parameters L2QAUD, L2QSIG, DSCP AUD, and DSCPSIG (described in Table 11:
9600 Series
SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System Parameters).
NAT - 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not support Network Address T ranslation (NAT); 9600
Series IP (H.323) Telephones do support NAT.

Chapter 2:Administration Overview and
Requirements
9600 Series IP Telephones
The 9600 Series IP Telephones currently support the H.323 signaling protocol and the SIP
signaling protocol.
The H.323 standard provides for real time audio, vide o, and data communications transmission
over a packet network. An H.323 telephone protocol stack comprises several protocols:
● H.225 for registration, admission, status (RAS), and call signaling,
● H.245 for control signaling,
● Real Time Transfer Protocol (RTP) and Secure Real Time Transfer Protocol (SRTP)
● Real Time Control Protocol (RTCP) and Secure Real Time Control Protocol (SRTCP)
SIP was developed by the IETF. Like H.323, SIP provides for real time audio, video, and data
communications transmission over a packet network. SIP uses various messages, or methods,
to provide:
● Registration (REGISTER),
● Call signaling (INVITE, BYE)
● Control signaling (SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY)
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support Media Encryption (SRTP) and use built-in Avaya
SIP Certificates for trust management. Trust management involves downloadin g certificates for
additional trusted Certificate Authorities (CA) and the policy management of those CAs. Identity
management is handled by Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) with phone
certificates and private keys.
The 9600 Series IP Telephones are loaded with either H.323 or SIP software as part of initial
script file administration and initialization during installation. Post-installation, sof tware upgrades
automatically download using the proper signaling protocol.

Administration Overview and Requirements
General information about administering DHCP servers is covered in DHCP and File
Servers on page 53, and more specifically, DHCP Server Administration on page 54. General
information about administering HTTP servers is covered in DHCP and File Servers
specifically, HTTP Generic Setup
. Once you are familiar with that material, you can administer
telephone options as described in Chapter 8:
Parameter Data Precedence
As shown in Table 1: Administration Alternatives and Options for 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephones, you can administer a given parameter in a number of ways. If a given parameter is
administered through different mechanisms, the last server to provide the parameter has
precedence. The precedence, from lowest to highest, is:
1. LLDP
2. DHCP
3. Settings file
, and more
Administering Telephone Options.
4. Personal Profile Manager (PPM),
Note:
Note:Exception: In the case of the parameter SIPDOMAIN, the settings file has a
higher precedence than PPM.
5. Manual administration, unless the system parameter USE_DHCP is set to 1 (Get IP
Address automatically by DHCP), or backup file data obtained through PPM.
For example, if the SIP outbound proxy server address is defined to have the precedence
information so that the value retrieved from DHCP server has a lower precedence than the
value retrieved from the settings file, and the value retrieved from the settings file is higher than
the value retrieved from PPM, then the following determination occurs:
● If the most recent value the telephone has is from DHCP and new server address
information is retrieved from the settings file, the telephone will use the new value from the
settings file.
● If later on, the telephone receives a new server address value from PPM, it will not use this
value because PPM’s precedence as a data source for the server address is lower than
the current value (which came from the settings file).
● If the server to which a specific telephone points is changed manually using the Craft
ADDR procedure, that value now takes precedence over the previous value.

Page 19
Note:
Note:The only exception to this sequence is in the case of VLAN IDs. In the case of
VLAN IDs, LLDP settings of VLAN IDs are the absolute authority. Then the usual
sequence applies. For the L2QVLAN and L2Q system values, LLDP settings of
VLAN IDs are the absolute authority only if the LLDP task receives the VLAN IDs
before DHCP, and the DHCP client of the telephone is activated at all. If the LLDP
task receives the VLAN IDs after DHCP negotiation, several criteria must be
successful before the telephone accepts VLAN IDs from LLDP. For more
information, see Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The Administrative Process
The following list depicts administration for a typical 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone network.
Your own configuration might differ depending on the servers and system you have in place.
1. Avaya Communication Manager (4.0 or greater) administered for 9600 Series IP
Telephones. All 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones must be administered with the 4620SIP
station type.
The Administrative Process
on page 101.
2. SES (SIP Enablement Services) administered.
3. LAN and applicable servers (file servers, Network Time server) administered to accept the
telephones.
4. Telephone software downloaded from the Avaya support site.
5. 46xxsettings file updated with site-specific and SIP-specific information, as applicable.
6. 9600 Series Telephones installed. For more information, see the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Step 1: Telephone to Network
The telephone is appropriately installed and powered. After a short initialization process, the
telephone identifies the LAN speed and sends a message out into the network, identifying itself
and requesting further information. A router on the network re ceives and relays this message to
the appropriate DHCP server.
Step 2: Telephone to LLDP-Enabled Network
An LLDP-enabled network provides information to the telephone, as described in Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on page 101. Among other data passed to the telephone is the IP
Address of the HTTP or HTTPS server.
Issue 2 December 200721
Page 22
Administration Overview and Requirements
Step 3: Telephone to DHCP Server
The DHCP server provides information to the telephone, as described in DHCP and File
Servers on page 53. Among other data passed to the telephone is the IP Address of the HTTP
or HTTPS server.
Step 4: Telephone and File Server
The 9600 Series IP Telephones can download script files, binary files, certificates, language
files, and settings files from either an HTTP or HTTPS server. The telephone queries the file
server, which transmits a script file to the telephone. This script file, at a minimum, tells the
telephone which binary file the telephone must use. The binary file is the software that has the
telephony functionality.
The telephone uses the script file to determine if it has the proper binary file. If the telephone
determines the proper binary file is missing, the telephone requests an binary file download
from the file server. The file server the n downloads the file and conducts some checks to ensure
that the file was downloaded properly. If the telephone determines it already has the proper file,
the telephone proceeds as described in the next paragraph without downloading the binary file
again.
The telephone checks and loads the binary file, then uses the script file to look for a settin gs file,
if appropriate. The optional settings file can contain settings you have administered for any or all
of the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones in your network. For more information about this
download process and settings file, see Chapter 7:
Step 5: Telephone and the SES Server
In this step, the telephone might prompt the user for an extension and password. The telephone
uses that information to exchange a series of messages with SES, which in turn communicates
with Avaya Communication Manager (CM). For a new installation and for full service, the user
can enter the telephone extension and the SES password. For a restart of an existing
installation, this information is already stored on the telephone, but the user might have to
confirm the information. The telephone and SES and SES and CM exchange more messaging.
The expected result is that the telephone is appropriately registered and CM call server data
such as feature button assignments are downloaded.
For more information about the installation process, see the Ava ya one-X™ Deskphone Editio n for 9600 SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Error Conditions
Assuming proper administration, most of the problems reported by telephone users are likely to
be LAN-based. Quality of Service, server administration, and other issues can impact user
perception of IP telephone performance.
The Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide covers possible operational problems that might be encountered after
successful 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone installation. The User Guides for a specific tele phone
model also contain guidance for users having problems with specific IP telephone applications.

Chapter 3:Network Requirements
Network Assessment
Perform a network assessment to ensure that the network will have the capacity for the
expected data and voice traffic, and that it can support for all applications:
● SIP,
● DHCP,
● HTTP/HTTPS, and
● Jitter buffers
Also, QoS support is required to run VoIP on your configuration. For more information, see
Appendix B: Related Documentation
and DSCPSIG in Table 11:
9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System
Parameters.
and the QoS parameters L2QAUD, L2QSIG, DSCPAUD,
Hardware Requirements
To operate properly, you need:
● Category 5e cables designed to the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard, for LAN powering,
● TN2602 IP Media Processor circuit pack. Sites with a TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit
pack are strongly encouraged to install a TN2602 circuit p ack to benefit from the increased
capacity.
● TN799C or D Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack.
!
Important:
Important:IP telephone firmware Release 1.0 or greater requires TN799C V3 or greater
C-LAN circuit pack(s). For more information, see the Communication Manager Software and Firmware Compatibility Matrix on the Avaya support Web site
http://www.avaya.com/support
To ensure that the appropriate circuit pack(s) are administered on your Communication

Network Requirements
Server Requirements
Four server types can be configured for the 9600 Series IP Telephones:
● DHCP server
● HTTP or HTTPS server
● SIP Proxy or Registration server
● Network Time Protocol server for SNTP
Note:
Note:9600 Series SIP IP Telephones need SIP Enablement Services (SES) to work
properly. The SIP Proxy and Registration servers reside on the SES server.
Avaya Communication Manager (CM) is considered a “feature server” behind
SES that provides Outboard Proxy SIP (OPS) features. SIP software Release 2.0
supports both SES 4.X and 5.X, but when the corresponding server is running
SES 4.X, the telephones assume only those features compatible with SES 4.X.
While the servers listed provide different functions that relate to the 9600 Se ries IP Telephones,
they are not necessarily different boxes. For example, DHCP provides network information
whereas HTTP provides configuration and application file management, yet both functions can
co-exist on one hardware unit. Any standards-based server is recommended.
For parameters related to Avaya Communication Manager information, see Chapter
4: Communication Manager Administration. For parameters related to DHCP and file servers,
see Chapter 6:
!
Important:
Important:The telephones obtain important information from the script files on the server(s)
and depend on the binary file for software upgrades. If these servers are
unavailable when the telephones reset, the telephones will not operate properly.
Some features might not be available. To restore them you need to reset the
telephone(s) when the file server is available.
DHCP Server
Avaya recommends that a DHCP server and application be installed and that static addressing
be avoided. Install the DHCP server and application as described in DHCP and File Servers
page 53.

Page 27
HTTP/HTTPS Server
Administer the HTTP or HTTPS file server and application as described in HTTP Generic
Setup on page 66.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Server
SIP IP telephones require NTP server support to set the time and date, used in system log time
stamps and other time/date functions. The NTP server is typically needed by one or more
servers within the enterprise. Administration of the NTP server is beyond the scope of this
document.
Required Network Information
Before you administer DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS, as applicable, complete the information in
Table 3
configuration, complete Table 3
. If you have more than one router, HTTP/TLS server and subnetwork mask in your
for each DHCP server.
Required Network Information
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support specifying a list of IP Addresses for a gateway/
router and the HTTP/HTTPS server . Each list can contain up to 255 tot al ASCII characters, with
IP Addresses separated by commas with no intervening spaces. Depending on the specific
DHCP application, only 127 characters might be supported.
When specifying IP Addresses for the file server, use either dotted decimal format
(“xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”) or DNS names. If you use DNS, the system value DOMAIN is appended to
the IP Addresses you specify. If DOMAIN is null, the DNS names must be fully qualified, in
accordance with IETF RFCs 1034 and 1035. For more information about DNS, see DHCP
Generic Setup on page 56 and DNS Addressing on page 98.

Network Requirements
The default file server file path is the “root” directory used for al l tra nsfe r s by the server. All files
are uploaded to or downloaded from this default directory. In configurations where the upgrade
script and binary files are in the default directory, do not use item 4 in Table 3
As the LAN or System Administrator, you are also responsible for:
● Administering the DHCP server as described in Chapter 6: Server Administration.
● Editing the configuration file on the applicable HTTP or HTTPS file server, as covered in
9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Scripts and Binary Files
Other Network Considerations
SNMP
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones are fully compatible with SNMPv2c and with Structure of
Management Information Version 2 (SMIv2). The telephones respond correctly to queries from
entities that comply with earlier versions of SNMP, such as SNMPv1. “Fully compatible” means
that the telephones respond to queries directed either at the MIB-II or the read-only Custom
MIB. Read-only means that the values therein cannot be changed externally by means of
network management tools.
.
.
You can restrict which IP Addresses the telephone accepts SNMP queries from. You can also
customize your community string with system values SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING,
respectively. For more information, see Chapter 6:
Series SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System Parameters.
Note:
Note:SNMP is disabled by default. Administrators must initiate SNMP by setting the
SNMPADD and SNMPSTRING system values appropriately.
For more information about SNMP and MIBs, see the IETF Web site listed in
Appendix B: Related Documentation
. The Avaya Custom MIB for the 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephones is available for download in *.txt format on the Avaya support Web site at
http://www.avaya.com/support
.
Registration and Authentication
A 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone requires an outboard proxy SIP (OPS) extension on Avaya
Communication Manager and a login and password on the SES Server to register and
authenticate it. Registration is described in the Initialization process, in Step
the SES Server on page 22. For further information, see Installing and Administering SIP
Enablement Services R 4.0 (03-600766), available on the Avaya support Web site,

Reliability and Performance
All 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones respond to a ping or traceroute message sent from Avaya
Communication Manager or any other network source. The telephones do not originate a ping
or traceroute. The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones offer and support “remote ping” and “remote
traceroute.” The switch can instruct the telephone to originate a ping or a traceroute to a
specified IP Address. The telephone carries out that instruction and sends a message to the
switch indicating the results. For more information, see your switch administration
documentation.
If applicable, the telephones test whether the network Ethernet switch port supports IEEE
802.1D/q tagged frames by ARPing the router with a tagged frame. For more information, see
VLAN Considerations
on page 94. If your LAN environment includes Virtual LANs (VLANs),
your router must respond to ARPs for VLAN tagging to work properly.
QoS
Other Network Considerations
For more information about the extent to which your network can support any or all of the QoS
initiatives, see your LAN equipment documentation. See QoS
for the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones.
All 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones provide some detail about network audio quality. For more
information see, Network Audio Quality Display on 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones
IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q
For more information about IEEE 802.1D and IEEE 802.1Q and the 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephones, see IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q
Three bits of the 802.1Q tag are reserved for ide ntifying p acket priority to allow any one of eight
priorities to be assigned to a specific packet.
● 7: Network management traffic
● 6: Voice traffic with less than 10ms latency
● 5: Voice traffic with less than 100ms latency

Network Audio Quality Display on 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones
All 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones give the user an opportunity to monitor network audio
performance while on a call. For more information, see the telephone user guide.
While on a call, the telephones display network audio quality parameters in real-time, as shown
in Table 4
Table 4: Parameters in Real-Time
ParameterPossible Values
Received Audio Coding G.711, G.722, G.726A, or G.729.
Packet LossNo data or a percentage. Late and out-of-sequence packet s are
Packetization DelayNo data or an integer number of milliseconds. The number

reflects the amount of audio data in each RTP packet.
One-way Network DelayNo data or an integer number of milliseconds. The number is
one-half the value RTCP or SR TCP computes for the round-trip
delay.
Network Jitter
Compensation Delay
The implication for LAN administration depends on the values the user reports and the specific
nature of your LAN, like topology, loading, and QoS administration. This information gives the
user an idea of how network conditions affect the audio quality of the current call. Avaya
assumes you have more detailed tools available for LAN troubleshooting.
No data or an integer number of milliseconds reporting the
average delay introduced by the jitter buffer of the telephone.
SIP Station Number Portability
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones provide station number portability. On startup or a reboot,
the telephone attempts to establish communication with its home Personal Profile Manager
(PPM)/SIP Enablement Services (SES) server based on the User Name and Password.
Assume a situation where the company has multiple locations in London and New York, all
sharing a corporate IP network. Users want to take their telephone functionality from their
offices in London to their New York office. When users start up their telephones in the new
location and enter their credentials, the local SES/PPM server usually routes them to the local
call server. With proper administration of the local SES/PPM server, the telephone knows to try
its home SES/PPM server, the one in London. The user can then be automatically registered
with the London SES/PPM server.

Page 31
TCP/UDP Port Utilization
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones use a variety of protocols, particularly TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol), UDP (User Datagram Protocol), and TLS (Transport Layer Security) to
communicate with other equipment in the network. Part of this communication identifies which
TCP or UDP ports each piece of equipment uses to support each protocol and each task within
the protocol. For additional TCP/UDP port utilization information as it applies to Avaya
Communication Manager, see UDP Port Selection
Depending on your network, you might need to know what ports or ranges are used in the
operation of 9600 Series IP Telephones. Knowing these ports or ranges helps you administer
your networking infrastructure.
Note:
Note:In many cases, the ports used are the ones called for by IETF or other standards
bodies.

Security
For information about toll fraud, see the respective call server documents on the Ava ya support
Web site. The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones cannot guarantee resistance to all Denial of
Service attacks. However, there are checks and protections to resist such attacks while
maintaining appropriate service to legitimate users.
9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support Transport Layer Security (TLS) for signaling and for
secure communications (SRTP). This standard allows the telephone to establish a secure
connection to a HTTPS server, in which the upgrade and settings file can reside. This setup
adds security over another alternative.

Call Server Requirements
Avaya Communication Manager (CM) extends advanced telephony features to SIP telephones
via Outboard Proxy SIP (OPS) support. This feature set offers enhanced calling features in
advance of SIP protocol definitions and telephone implementations.
Before you perform administration tasks, ensure that the proper hardware is in place, and your
call server software is compatible with the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones. Avaya recommends
the latest CM software and the latest SIP IP telephone firmware.
Switch Compatibility
As of SIP Release S1.0, 9600 Series IP Telephones are supported by Avaya Communication
Manager (CM) Release 4.0 and later. Be sure to administer 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones as
4620SIP telephones on Avaya Communication Manager.
Note:
Note:The 9620 only supports a total of 12 call appearances and administered feature
buttons. The 9630/9630G and 9640/9640G can be administered for a total of 24
call appearances and feature buttons.
For specific administration instructions about the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones, see
Administering Stations
on page 48.
Communication Manager Administrative Requirements
There are several initial CM provisioning tasks that must be performed before administering SIP
users. These tasks are described in SIP Support in Avaya Communication Manager Ru nning on Avaya S8XXX Server s (Document Number 555-245-206), the latest release of which is Issue

The Administrator Guide for Avaya Communication Manager (Document Number 03-300509)
provides detailed instructions for administering an IP telephone system on Avaya
Communication Manager . See Chapter 3 “Managing Telephones,” which describes the process
of adding new telephones. Also, you can locate pertinent screen illustrations and field
descriptions in Chapter 19 “Screen References” of that guide. You can find this document on
the Avaya support Web site.
Communication Manager Administrative Requirements
IP Interface and Addresses
Follow these general guidelines:
● Define the IP interfaces for each C-LAN and Media processor circuit pack on the switch
that uses the IP Interfaces screen. For more information, see Administration for Network
Connectivity for Avaya Communication Manager (Document 555-233-504).
● On the Customer Options form, verify that the IP Stations field is set to “y” (Yes). If it is
not, contact your Avaya sales representative.
UDP Port Selection
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones use an even-numbered port, selected from the interval
4000 to 10000. The telephones cannot be administered from the Avaya Communication
Manager Network Region form to support UDP port selection.
Issue 2 December 200739
Page 40
Communication Manager Administration
RSVP and RTCP/SRTCP
Avaya SIP IP Telephones support the RTP/SRTP Control Protocol (RTCP/SRTCP). The 9600
Series SIP IP Telephones do not support RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol).
QoS
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support both IEEE 802.1D/Q and DiffServ. Other
network-based QoS initiatives such as UDP port selection do not require support by the
telephones. However, the initiatives contribute to improved QoS for the entire network.
IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q
The 9600 Series IP Telephones can simultaneously support receipt of packets using, or not
using, 802.1Q parameters. To support IEEE 802.1D/Q, you can administer 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephones by the value of the following configuration parameters:
● L2Q,
● L2QVLAN,
● L2QAUD, and
● L2QSIG.
NAT
9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not support Network Address Translation (NAT)
interworking.
DIFFSERV
Type o f Service bits 0-5 (also called the Dif ferentiated Services Code Point) are set to the binary
equivalent of the decimal number represented by the value of the following configuration
parameters:
● DSCPAUD for transmitted audio (RTP, RTCP, SRTP and SRTCP) packets;
● DSCPSIG for transmitted system-specific signaling packets;
● Zero for all other transmitted packets (e.g., DHCP, DNS, HTTP, SNMP, etc.).
Received DSCP information will be ignored.

9600 Series SIP IP Telephones use the settings file to configure the Messages button by
setting the system parameter MSGNUM
● a standard telephone number the telephone should dial to access your voice mail system,
such as AUDIX or Octel.
● a Feature Access Code (FAC) that allows users to transfer an active call directly to voice
mail. FACs are supported only for QSIG-integrated voice mail systems like AUDIX or
Octel. QSIG is an enhanced signaling system that allows the voice mail system and Avaya
Communication Manager Automated Call Processing (ACP) to exchange information.
When the user presses the Messages button on the telephone, that number or FAC is
automatically dialed, giving the user one-touch access to voice mail.
The settings file specifies the telephone number to be dialed automatically when the user
presses this button. The command is:
SET MSGNUM 1234
Voice Mail Integration
to any dialable string. MSGNUM examples are:
where 1234 is the Voice Mail extension (CM hunt group or VDN). For more information,
see Table 11
.
Auto Hold
9600 Series SIP IP Telephones always provide auto hold, regardless of whether or not the Auto
Hold parameter is administered on the IP Network System Parameters form.
Call Transfer Considerations
Unlike 9600 H.323 IP Telephones, the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones transfer operation is
controlled locally by the telephone and is not affected by the settings Abort Transfer?, Transfer
Upon Hang-up and Toggle Swap, on page 7 of the system-parameters features screen.

Chapter 6:Server Administration
Software Checklist
Ensure that you own licenses to use the DHCP, HTTP, and HTTPS server software.
Note:
Note:You can install the DHCP and HTTP server software on the same machine.
!
Important:
Important:The firmware in the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones reserves IP Addresses of the
form 192.168.2.x for internal communications. The telephone(s) improperly use
addresses you specify if they are of that form.
DHCP and File Servers
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) minimizes maintenance for a 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephone network by removing the need to individually assign and maintain IP Addresses and
other parameters for each telephone on the network.
The DHCP server provides the following information to the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones:
● IP Address of the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone(s)
● IP Address of the HTTP or HTTPS server
● IP Address of the NTP (Network Time Protocol) server (using Option 42)
● The subnet mask
● IP Address of the router
● DNS Server IP Address
Administer the LAN so each SIP IP telephone can access a DHCP server that contains the IP
Addresses and subnet mask.
Issue 2 December 200753
Page 54
Server Administration
!
Important:
Important:An IP telephone cannot function without an IP Address. The failure of a DHCP
server at boot time leaves all the affected telephones unusable. A user can
manually assign an IP Address to an IP telephone. When the DHCP server finally
returns, the telephone never looks for a DHCP server unless the static IP data is
unassigned manually. In addition, manual entry of IP data is an error-prone
process.
Avaya recommends that:
● A minimum of two DHCP servers be available for reliability.
● A DHCP server be available when the IP telephone reboots.
● A DHCP server be available at remote sites if WAN failures isolate IP telephones from the
central site DHCP server(s).
The file server provides the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone with a script file and, if appropriate,
new or updated binary software. See Step
Telephone Initialization Process

Important:
Important:Before you start, understand your current network configuration. An improper
installation will cause network failures or reduce the reliability and performance of
your network.
Configuring DHCP for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones
To administer DHCP option 242, make a copy of an existing option 176 for your 46xx IP
Telephones. You can then either:
● leave any parameters the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not support for setting via
DHCP in option 242 to be ignored, or
● delete unused or unsupported 9600 IP Series T elephone parameters to shorten the DHCP
message length.
Only the following parameters can be set in the DHCP site-specific option for 96xx telephones,
although most of them can be set in a 46xxsettings.txt file as well.

DHCP Server Administration
Table 9: Parameters Set by DHCP
ParameterDescription
HTTPDIR Specifies the path name to prepend to all file names used in HTTP GET
operations during startup. (0 to 127 ASCII characte rs, no spaces.) The command
is “SET HTTPDIR myhttpdir”. The path (relative to the root of the HTTP file
server) where 96xx telephone files are stored. If an Avaya file server is used to
download configuration files over TLS, but a different server is used to download
software files via HTTP, set the path of the Avaya server in the DHCP site-specific
option, and set HTTPDIR again in the 46xxsettings.txt file with the appropriate
path for the second server. HTTPDIR is the path for all HTTP operations except
for BRURI.
HTTPPORTDestination port for HTTP requests (0-65535, default is 80).
HTTPSRVR IP Address(es) or DNS name(s) of HTTP file server(s) used for file download
(settings file, language files, code) during startup. The files are digitally signed, so
TLS is not required for security.
ICMPDU Controls the extent to which ICMP Destination Unreachable messages are sent in
response to messages sent to closed ports so as not to reveal information to
potential hackers. The default is 1 (sends Destination Unreachable messages fo r
closed ports used by traceroute).
ICMPRED Controls whether ICMP Redirect messages are processed. The default is 0
(redirect messages are not processed).
L2Q802.1Q tagging mode. The default is 0 (automatic).
L2QVLANVLAN ID of the voice VLAN. The default is 0.
LOGSRVRSyslog server IP or DNS address.
MTU_SIZEMaximum transmission unit size. Used to accommodate older Ethernet switches
that cannot support the longer maximum frame length of tagged frames (since
802.1Q adds 4 octets to the frame).
PHY1STATControls the Ethernet line interface speed. The default is 1 (auto-negotiate).
PHY2STATControls the secondary Ethernet interface speed. The default is 1
(auto-negotiate).
PROCPSWDSecurity string used to access local procedures. The default is 27238.
PROCSTATControls whether local procedures are enabled. The default is 0 (enabled).
SIPPROXYSRVRSIP proxy/registrar server IP or DNS address. (0 to 255 characters; zero or one IP
Address in dotted decimal or DNS name format, separated by commas without
any intervening spaces.) The default is null.
SNTPSRVRList of SNTP server IP or DNS address(es) u.sed to retrieve date and time via
SNTP
TLSDIRUsed as path name that is prepended to all file names used in HTTPS get
operations during initialization (0-127 character string).
TLSPORTDestination TCP port used for requests to https server (0-65535). The default is
443.
TLSSRVR IP Address(es) or DNS name(s) of Avaya file server(s) used to download
configuration files.
Note: Transport Layer Security is used to authenticate the server.
VLANTESTNumber of seconds to wait for a DHCPOFFER on a non-zero VLAN. The default
is 60 seconds.

DHCP Generic Setup
This document is limited to describing a generic administration that works with the 9600 Series
SIP IP Telephones. Three DHCP software alternatives are common to Windows operating
systems:
● Windows NT
● Windows 2000
● Windows 2003
Any other DHCP application might work. It is the responsibility of the customer to install and
configure the DHCP server correctly.
DHCP server setup involves:
1. Installing the DHCP server software according to vendor instructions.
2. Configuring the DHCP server with:
● IP Addresses available for the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones.
®
4.0 DHCP Server
®
DHCP Server
®
DHCP Server
● The following DHCP options:
- Option 1 - Subnet mask.
As described in Table 3
, item 3.
- Option 3 - Gateway (router) IP Address(es).
As described in Table 3
, item 1. If using more than one address, the total list can
contain up to 127 total ASCII characters. You must separate IP Addresses with
commas with no intervening spaces.
- Option 6 - DNS server(s) address list.
If using more than one address, the total list can contain up to 255 total ASCII
characters. Y ou must separate IP Addresses with commas with no intervening sp aces.
At least one address in Option 6 must be a valid, non zero, dotted decimal address.
- Option 12 -Host Name.
V alue is AVohhhhhh, where: o has one of t he following values base d on the OID (first
three octets) of the telephone’s MAC a ddress: “A” if the OID is 00-04-0D, “B” if the OID
is 00-1B-4F, (SIP software Release 2.0+), “E” if the OID is 00-09-6E, “L” if the OID is
00-60-1D, “T” if the OID is 00-07-3B, (SIP software Release R2.0+) a nd “X” if the OID
is anything else, and where hhhhhh are ASCII characters for the hexadecimal
representation of the last three octets of the telephone’s MAC address.
- Option 15 -DNS Domain Name.
This string contains the domain name to be used when DNS names in system
parameters are resolved into IP Addresses. This domain name is appended to the
DNS name before the 9600 IP Telephone attempts to resolve the DNS address.
Option 15 is necessary if you want to use a DNS name for the HTTP server.
Otherwise, you can specify a DOMAIN as part of customizing HTTP as indicated in
DNS Addressing
on page 98.
56 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Administrator Guide SIP Release 2.0
Page 57
DHCP Server Administration
- Option 42 - SNTP Server.
This option specifies a list of IP Addresses indicating NTP servers available to the
telephone. List servers in the order of preference.The minimum length is 4, and the
length must be a multiple of 4.
- Option 51 - DHCP lease time.
If this option is not received, the DHCPOFFER is not be accepted. Avaya
recommends a lease time of six weeks or greater. If this option has a value of
FFFFFFFF hex, the IP Address lease is assumed to be infinite as per RFC 2131,
Section 3.3, so that renewal and rebinding procedures are not necessary even if
Options 58 and 59 are received. Expired leases cause Avaya IP Telephones to reboot.
Avaya recommends providing enough leases so an IP Address for an IP telephone
does not change if it is briefly taken offline.
Note:
Note:Regarding Option 51: The DHCP standard states that when a DHCP lease
expires, the device should immediately cease using its assigned IP Address. If
the network has problems and the only DHCP server is centralized, the server is
not accessible to the given telephone. In this case the telephone is not usable
until the server can be reached. Avaya recommends that once assigned an IP
Address, the telephone continues using that address after the DHCP lease
expires, until a conflict with another device is detected. As Table 11:
9600 Series
SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System Parameters indicates, the system
parameter DHCPSTD allows an administrator to specify that the telephone will
either: a). Comply with the DHCP standard by setting DHCPSTD to “1”, or b).
Continue to use its IP Address after the DHCP lease expires by setting
DHCPSTD to “0.” The latter case is the default. If the default is invoked, after the
DHCP lease expires the telephone sends an ARP Request for its own IP Address
every five seconds. The request continues either forever, or until the telephone
receives an ARP Reply. After receiving an ARP Reply, the telephone d isp lays an
error message, sets its IP Address to 0.0.0.0, and attempts to contact the DHCP
server again.
- Option 52 - Overload Option, if desired.
If this option is received in a message, the telephone interprets the sname and file
fields in accordance with IETF RFC 2132,
Section 9.3, listed in Appendix B: Related Documentation
.
- Option 53 - DHCP message type.
Value is 1 (DHCPDISCOVER) or 3 (DHCPREQUEST).
1 (subnet mask),
3 (router IP Address[es])
6 (domain name server IP Address[es])
7 (log server)
15 (domain name)
26 (Interface MTU)
42 (NTP servers)
SSON (site-specific option number)
Issue 2 December 200757
Page 58
Server Administration
- Option 57 - Maximum DHCP message size.
- Option 58 - DHCP lease renew time.
If not received or if this value is greater than that for Option 51, the d efault value of T1
(renewal timer) is used as per IETF RFC 2131, Section 4.5, listed in Related
Documentation.
- Option 59 - DHCP lease rebind time.
If not received or if this value is greater than that for Option 51, the d efault value of T2
(rebinding timer) is used as per RFC 2131, Section 4.5
The 9600 Series IP Telephones do not support Regular Expression Matching, and therefore, do
not use wildcards. For more information, see Administering Options for the 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephones on page 73.
In configurations where the upgrade script and binary files are in the default directory on the
HTTP server, do not use the HTTPDIR=<path>.
Avaya recommends that you administer DHCP servers to deliver only the options specified in
this document. Administering additional, unexpected options might have unexpected results,
including causing the IP telephone to ignore the DHCP server.
The SIP Proxy server name and HTTP server name must each be no more than 32 characters
in length.
- Option 42: "aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa"
Depending on the DHCP application you choose, be aware that the application most
likely does not immediately recycle expired DHCP leases. An expired lease might
remain reserved for the original client a day or more. For example, Windows NT
DHCP reserves expired leases for about one day. This reservation period protects a
lease for a short time. If the client and the DHCP server are in two different time
zones, the clocks of the computers are not in sync, or the client is not on the network
when the lease expires, there is time to correct the situation.
The following example shows the implication of having a reservation period: Assume
two IP Addresses, therefore two possible DHCP leases. Assume three IP telephones,
two of which are using the two available IP Addresses. When the lease for the first two
telephones expires, the third telephone cannot get a lease until the reservation period
expires. Even if the other two telephones are removed from the network, the third
telephone remains without a lease until the reservation period expires.

HTTP Generic Setup
You can store the same binary file, script file, and settings file on an HTTP server as you can on
a TFTP server. TFTP is not supported for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones. With proper
administration, the telephone seeks out and uses that material. Some functio nality might be lost
by a reset if the HTTP server is unavailable. For more information, see DHCP and File
Servers on page 53.
!
Important:
Important:The files defined by HTTP server configuration must be accessible from all IP
telephones invoking those files. Ensure that the file names match the names in
the upgrade script, including case, since UNIX systems are case-sensitive.
Note:
Note:Use any HTTP application you want. Commonly used HTTP applications include
Apache
!
Important:
Important:To set up an HTTP server:
®
and Microsoft® IIS™.
● Install the HTTP server application.
● Administer the system parameter HTTPSRVR to the address of the HTTP server.
Include this parameter in DHCP Option 242, or the appropriate SSON Option.
● Download the upgrade script file and binary file(s) from the Avaya Web site
http://www.avaya.com/support
Contents of the Settings File
to the HTTP server. For more information, see
on page 70.
Note:
Note:Many LINUX servers distinguish between upper and lower case names. Ensure
that you specify the settings file name accurately, as well as the names and
values of the data within the file.
If you choose to enhance the security of your HTTP environment by using Transport Layer
Security (TLS), you also need to:
● Install the TLS server application.
● Administer the system parameter TLSSRVR to the address(es) of the Avaya HTTP server.

Chapter 7:Telephone Software and Binary Files
General Download Process
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones download script files, binary files, and settings files from
either an HTTP or HTTPS server. The HTTPS server applies only if the server supports
Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption.
Note:
Note:The script files, binary files, and settings files discussed in this chapter are
identical for HTTP and HTTPS servers. The generic term “file server” refers to
both “HTTP server” and “HTTPS server.”
The file downloading process is the same for both servers, except that when you use an HTTPS
server, a TLS server is contacted first. The telephone queries the file server, which transmits a
script file to the telephone. The script file tells the telephone which binary file the telephone must
use. The binary file is the software that has the telephony functionality, and is easily updated for
future enhancements. In a newly installed telephone, the binary file might be missing. In a
previously installed telephone, the binary file might not be the proper one. In both cases, the
telephone requests a download of the proper binary file from the file server. The file server
downloads the file and conducts some checks to ensure that the file was downloaded properly.
If the telephone determines it already has the proper file, the telephone proceeds to the next
step without downloading the binary file again.
After checking and loading the binary file, the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone, if appropriate,
uses the script file to look for a settings file. The settings file contains options you have
administered for any or all of the IP Telephones in your network. For more information about the
settings file, see Contents of the Settings File
Software
As part of installation, a con version from H.323 to SIP signaling protocol is done as described in
"Converting Software on 9600 Series IP Telephones" of the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide. When the telephone is
first plugged in, a software download from an HTTP or HTTPS server start s to give the phone its
proper functionality.
For software upgrades, SIP Enablement Services (SES) provides the capability for a remote
reboot of the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones. As a result, the telephone automatically starts
reboot procedures. If new software is available on the server , the telephone downloads it as p art
of the reboot process. The Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide covers upgrades to a previously installed telephone and
related information.

9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Scripts and Binary Files
Choosing the Right Binary File and Upgrade Script File
The software releases containin g the files needed to operate the 9 600 Series IP Telephones are
bundled together. You download this self-extracting executable file to your file server from the
Avaya support Web site at: http://www.avaya.com/support
and unzipped format. You must select one of two software “bundles" to download the latest
software, depending on whether your telephone environment is primarily SIP-centric or
H.323-centric.
Each bundle contains:
● An upgrade script file, 96xxupgrade.txt, which allows you to upgrade to new software
releases and new functionality without having to replace SIP IP telephones. The upgrade
script tells the telephone whether a software upgrade is needed. All Avaya IP Telephones
attempt to read this file whenever they reset. The upgrade script file is also use d to point to
the settings file. An alternate file may be included, depending on which software bundle
you download.
. The file is available in both zipped
● Binary files for all current 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones.
● Other useful information such as a ReadMe file and the latest binary code.
In addition to the upgrade script, binary files and Read Me file you need the latest binary code
the Avaya SIP IP Telephones use, which is part of the sof tware bundle you choose for your site.
All these files are in self-extracting executable file comes in both zipped and unzipped format.
When the majority of your IP telephones are SIP-based, select the software bundle identified as
“SIP” from the Avaya Support Web site. The binary files in this SIP software bundle are the
same as in the H.323 bundle. The difference is a modified upgrade script file that assumes SIP
is the default protocol for your 9600 Series IP Telephones, and that H.323 is the exception. For
more information on SIP-centric environments, see "Converting Software on 9600 Series IP
Telephones" in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
68 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Administrator Guide SIP Release 2.0
Page 69
Upgrade Script File
An upgrade script file named 96xxupgrade.txt, tells the IP telephone whether the telephone
needs to upgrade software. The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones attempt to read this file
whenever they reset. The upgrade script file also points to the settings file.
You download the upgrade script file, sometimes called the “script file,” from
http://www.avaya.com/support
customer-definable options. All files must reside in the same directory.
An "alternate" upgrade script is also included, designed for environments that will support both
the H323 and SIP modes of operation. For such environments, the file needs to be edited in
those sections having headings of “H.323 EDIT INSTRUCTIONS.” Specific instructions are
provided in the Readme file that accompanies each software bundle. Once these changes are
made, the alternate file should be renamed to “96xxupgrade.txt” and placed in the HTTP
download directory. The HTTP download directory holds the telephone backup and application
binaries the telephone will download. Renaming the alternate file causes any “96xxupgrade.txt”
files residing in that directory to be overwritten.
Note:
Note:Avaya recommends that the settings file have the extension *.txt. The Avaya IP
Telephones can operate without this file. You can also change these settings with
DHCP or, in some cases, from the dialpad of the telephone.
9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Scripts and Binary Files
. This file allows the telephone to use default settings for
Settings File
The settings file contains the option settings you need to customize the Avaya IP Telephones for
your enterprise.
Note:
Note:Use one settings file for all your Avaya IP Telephones. The settings file includes
the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones covered in this document. The settings file
also includes 9600 Series (H.323) IP Telephones, 4600 Series IP Telephones,
and 1600 Series IP Telephones as covered in their respective administrator
guides.
The settings file can include any of five types of statements, one per line:
● Comments, which are statements with a “#” character in the first column.
● Tags, which are comments that have exactly one space character after the initial #,
followed by a text string with no spaces.
● Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the telephone to
continue interpreting the configuration file at the next line after a # tag statement. If no
such statement exists, the rest of the configuration file is ignored.
Issue 2 December 200769
Page 70
Telephone Software and Binary Files
● Conditionals, of the form IF $name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals cause the Goto
command to be processed if the value of name is a case-insensitive equivalent to string.
If no such name exists, the entire conditional is ignored. The only system values that can
be used in a conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP, and SIG.
● SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. Invalid values cause the
specified value to be ignored for the associated parameter_name so the default or
previously administered value is retained. All values must be text strings, even if th e value
itself is numeric, a dotted decimal IP Address, and so on.
Note:
Note: Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
The upgrade script file Avaya provides includes a line that tell the telephone to GET46xxsettings.txt. This lines causes the telephone to use HTTP to attempt to download the file
specified in the GET command. If the file is obtained, its contents are interpreted as an
additional script file. That is how your settings are changed from the default settings. If the file
cannot be obtained, the telephone continues processing the upgrade script file.
If the configuration file is successfully obtained but does not include any setting changes the
telephone stops using HTTP. This happens when you initially download the script file template
from the Avaya support Web site, before you make any changes. When the configuration file
contains no setting changes, the telephone does not go back to the upgrade script file.
Avaya recommends that you do not alter the upgrade script file. If Avaya changes the upgrade
script file in the future, any changes you have made will be lost. Avaya recommends that you
use the 46xxsettings file to customize your settings instead. However, you can change the
settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding GET command in the
upgrade script file.
For more information on customizing your settings file, see Contents of the Settings File
Contents of the Settings File
After checking the software, the 9600 Series IP Telephone looks for a 46xxsettings file. This file
is where you identify non-default option settings, application-specific parameters, and so on.
You can download a template for this file from the Avaya support Web site. An examp le of what
the file might look like follows.

need only specify settings that vary from defaults, although specifying defaults is
harmless.
VLAN separation controls whether or not traffic received on the secondary Ethernet interface is
forwarded on the voice VLAN and whether network traffic received on the data VLAN is
forwarded to the telephone. Add commands to the 46xxsettings.txt file to enable VLAN
separation. The following example assumes the data VLAN ID is “yyy” and the data traffic
priority is “z”:
SET VLANSEP 1
SET PHY2VLAN yyy
SET PHY2PRIO z
Note:
Note:Also configure the network switch so that 802.1Q tags are not removed from
frames forwarded to the telephone.

The GROUP System Value
Y ou might have dif ferent communities of users, all of which have the same telephone model, but
which require different administered settings. For example, you might want to group users by
time zones or work activities.
Use the GROUP system value for this purpose:
1. identify which telephones are associated with which group, and designate a number for
each group. The number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default, meaning
your largest group is assigned as Group 0.
2. At each non-default telephone, instruct the installer or user to invoke the GROUP Craft
Local procedure as specified in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide and specify which GROUP number to use.
The GROUP System value can only be set on a phone-by-phone basis.
3. Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the configuration file to allow each
telephone of the appropriate group to download its proper settings.
Here is an example of a settings file with associates in different groups at the same
location:
IF $GROUP SEQ 1 goto GROUP1
IF $GROUP SEQ 2 goto GROUP2
{specify settings unique to Group 0}
goto END
# GROUP1
{specify settings unique to Group 1}
goto END
# GROUP2
{specify settings unique to Group 2}
# END
{specify settings common to all Groups}

Avaya recommends that you administer options on the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones using
script files. Some DHCP applications have limits on the amount of user-specified information.
The administration required can exceed those limits for the more full-featured telephone
models.
You might choose to completely disable the capability to enter or change option settings from
the dialpad. You can set the system value, PROCPSWD, as part of standard DHCP/HTTP
administration. If PROCPSWD is non-null and consists of 1 to 7 digits, a user ca nnot invoke any
local options without first entering the PROCPSWD value on the Craft Access Code Entry
screen. For more information on craft options, see the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.

Important:
Important:PROCPSWD is likely stored on the server “in the clear” and is sent to the
telephone in the clear. Therefore, do not consider PROCPSWD as a
high-security technique to inhibit a sophisticated user from obtaining access to

Note:
Note:Table 11 applies to all 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones. Certain 9600 SIP IP
Telephones might have additional, optional information that you can administer.
For more information, see Chapter 8:
Administering Telephone Options.
VLAN Considerations
This section contains information on how to administer 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones to
minimize registration time and maximize performance in a Virtual LAN (VLAN) environment. If
your LAN environment does not include VLANs, set the system parameter L2Q to 2 (off) to
ensure correct operation.
VLAN Tagging
IEEE 802.1Q tagging (VLAN) is a useful method of managing VoIP traffic in your LAN. Avaya
recommends that you establish a voice VLAN, set L2QVLAN to that VLAN, and provide voice
traffic with priority over other traffic. You can set VLAN tagging manually, by DHCP, or in the
46xxsettings.txt file.
If VLAN tagging is enabled (L2Q= 0 or 1), the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones set the VLAN ID
to L2QVLAN, and the VLAN priority for packets from the telephone to L2QAUD for audio
packets and L2QSIG for signalling packets. The default value (6) for these parameters is the
recommended value for voice traffic in IEEE 802.1D.
Regardless of the tagging setting, a 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone will always transmit packets
from the telephone at absolute priority over packets from secondary Ethernet. The priority
settings are useful only if the downstream equipment is administered to give the voice VLAN
priority.
94 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Administrator Guide SIP Release 2.0
Page 95
VLAN Detection
The Avaya IP Telephones support automatic detection of the condition where the L2QVLAN
setting is incorrect. When VLAN tagging is enabled (L2Q= 0 or 1) initially the 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephone transmits DHCP messages with IEEE 802.1Q tagging and the VLAN set to
L2QVLAN. The telephones will continue to do this for VLANTEST seconds.
● If the VLANTEST timer expires and L2Q=1, the telephone sets L2QVLAN=0 and transmits
DHCP messages with the default VLAN (0).
● If the VLANTEST timer expires and L2Q=0, the telephone sets L2QVLAN=0 and transmits
DHCP messages without tagging.
● If VLANTEST is 0, the timer will never expire.
Note:
Note:Regardless of the setting of L2Q, VLANTEST, or L2QVLAN, you must have
DHCP administered so that the telephone will get a response to a
DHCPDISCOVER when it makes that request on the default (0) VLAN.
VLAN Considerations
After VLANTEST expires, if a 9600 Series SIP IP Telephone receives a non-zero
L2QVLAN value, the telephone will release the IP Address and send
DHCPDISCOVER on that VLAN. Any other release will require a manual reset
before the telephone will attempt to use a VLAN on which VLANTEST has
expired. See the Reset procedure in Chapter 3 of the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
The telephone ignores any VLAN ID administered on the Communication
Manager call server.
VLAN Default Value and Priority Tagging
The system value L2QVLAN is initially set to “0” and identifies the 802.1Q VLAN Identifier. This
default value indicates “priority tagging” as defined in IEEE 802.IQ Section 9.3.2.3. Priority
tagging specifies that your network closet Ethernet switch automatically insert the switch port
default VLAN without changing the user priority of the frame (cf. IEEE 802.1D and 802.1Q).
The VLAN ID = 0 (zero) is used to associate priority-tagged frames to the port/native VLAN of
the ingress port of the switch. But some switches do not understand a VLAN ID of zero and
require frames tagged with a non-zero VLAN ID.
If you do not want the default VLAN to be used for voice traffic:
● Ensure that the switch configuration lets frames tagged by the 9600 Series SIP IP
Telephone through without overwriting or removing them.
● Set the system value L2QVLAN to the VLAN ID appropriate for your voice LAN.
Issue 2 December 200795
Page 96
Administering Telephone Options
Another system value you can administer is VLANTEST. VLANTEST defines the number of
seconds the 9600 IP Series Telephone waits for a DHCPOFFER message when using a
non-zero VLAN ID. The VLANTEST default is “60” seconds. Using VLANTEST ensures that the
telephone returns to the default VLAN if an invalid VLAN ID is administered or if the phone
moves to a port where the L2QVLAN value is invalid. The default value is long, allowing for the
scenario that a major power interruption is causing the phones to restart. Always allow time for
network routers, the DHCP servers, etc. to be returned to service. If the telephone restarts for
any reason and the VLANTEST time limit expires, the telephone assumes the administered
VLAN ID is invalid. The telephone then initiates registration with the default VLAN ID.
Setting VLANTEST to “0” has the special meaning of telling the phone to use a non-zero VLAN
indefinitely to attempt DHCP. In other words, the telephone does not return to the default VLAN.
Note:
Note:If the telephone returns to the default VLAN but must be put back on the
L2QVLAN VLAN ID, you must Reset the telephone. See the Reset procedure in
the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
VLAN Separation
VLAN separation is available to control priority tagging from the device on the secondary
Ethernet, typically PC data. The following system parameters control VLAN separation:
● VLANSEP - enables (1) or disables (0) VLAN separation.
● PHY2VLAN - provides the VLAN ID for tagged frames received on the secondary Ethernet
interface.
● PHY2PRIO - the layer 2 priority value to be used for tagged frames received on the
secondary Ethernet interface.
Table 12
provides several VLAN separation guidelines.

DNS Addressing
The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support DNS addresses and dotted decimal addresses.
The telephone attempts to resolve a non-ASCII-encoded dotted decimal IP Address by
checking the contents of DHCP Option 6. See DHCP Generic Setup
At least one address in Option 6 must be a valid, non-zero, dotted decimal address, otherwise,
DNS fails. The text string for the DOMAIN system parameter (Option 15, Table 11
to the address(es) in Option 6 before the telephone attempts DNS address resolution. If Option
6 contains a list of DNS addresses, those addresses are queried in the order given if no
response is received from previous addresses on the list. As an alternative to administering
DNS by DHCP, you can specify the DNS server and/or Domain name in the HTTP script file. But
first SET the DNSSRVR and DOMAIN values so you can use those names later in the script.

IEEE 802.1X
Certain 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones support the IEEE 802.1X standard for pass-through and
Supplicant operation but only if the value of the configuration parameter DOT1XSTAT is “1” (the
default, meaning supplicant operation is enabled, and the telephone responds only to received
unicast EAPOL messages) or “2” (supplicant operation enabled, and telephone responds to
received unicast and multicast EAPOL messages). If DOT1XSTAT has any other value,
supplicant operation will not be supported. The system parameter DOT1X determines how the
telephones handle 802.1X multicast packets and proxy logoff, as follows:
● When DOT1X = 0 (the default), the telephone forwards 802.1X multicast packets from the
Authenticator to the PC attached to the telephone and forwards multicast p ackets from the
attached PC to the Authenticator (multicast pass-through). Proxy Logoff is not supported.
● When DOT1X = 1, the telephone supports the same multicast pass-through as when
DOT1X=0. Proxy Logoff is supported.
● When DOT1X = 2, the telephone forwards multicast packets from the Authenticator only to
the telephone, ignoring multicast packets from the attached PC (no multicast
pass-through). Proxy Logoff is not supported.
Regardless of the DOT1X setting, the telephone always properly directs unicast packets from
the Authenticator to the telephone or its attached PC, as dictated by the MAC address in the
packet.
98 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Administrator Guide SIP Release 2.0
Page 99
802.1X Pass-Through and Proxy Logoff
9600 Series SIP IP Telephones with a secondary Ethernet interface support pass-through of
802.1X packets to and from an attached PC. This enables an attached PC running 802.1X
supplicant software to be authenticated by an Ethernet data switch.
The SIP IP Telephones support two pass-through modes:
● pass-through and
● pass-through with proxy logoff.
The DOT1X parameter setting controls the pass-through mode. In Proxy Logoff mode
(DOT1X=1), when the secondary Ethernet interface loses link integ rity, the telephone sends an
802.1X EAPOL-Logoff message on the Ethernet line interface to the data switch on behalf of
the attached PC. The message alerts the switch that the device is no longer present. Proxy
logoff occurs only after at least one EAPOL frame with the Port Access Entity (PAE) group
multicast address as the destination MAC address was received on the secondary Ethernet
interface. The destination MAC address of the proxy EAPOL-Logoff frame is the PAE group
multicast address. The source MAC address of the proxy EAPOL-Logoff frame is the same as
the source MAC address of the last frame received on the secondary Ethernet interface that
had the PAE group multicast address as the destination MAC address.
IEEE 802.1X
Note:
Note:When DOT1X = 0 or 2, the Proxy Logoff function is not supported.
802.1X Supplicant Operation
9600 SIP IP Telephones that support Supplicant operation also support Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP), but only with the MD5-Challenge authentication method as
specified in IETF RFC 3748 [8.5-33a] or with TLS.
If an EAP method in the configuration parameter DOT1XEAPS requires the authentication of a
digital certificate, the standard authentication requirements apply, including matching the
TLSSRVRID with that on the certificate.
If an EAP response requires an identity or a password, the values of the DOT1XID and
DOT1XPSWD parameters will be used unless a new identity and/or password has been
entered by the user via an 802.1X User Input interrupt screen, in which case the new values
entered by the user will be used instead. The ID and password are not overwritten by telephone
software downloads. For all EAP methods, if the Supplicant is unauthenticated, an 802.1X
Waiting interrupt screen is displayed when a response is transmitted, unless an 802.1X User
Input interrupt screen is already being displayed.
If an EAP-Failure frame is received after transmitting a response that contains an identity or a
password, an 802.1X User Input interrupt screen is displayed, unless an 802.1X User Input
interrupt screen is already being displayed. If an EAP-Failure frame is received after
Issue 2 December 200799

Administering Telephone Options
transmitting a response that did not contain an identity or a password, an 802.1X Failure
interrupt screen is displayed.
When a telephone is installed for the first time and 802.1x is in effect, the dynamic address
process prompts the installer to enter the Supplicant identity and password. The IP telephone
does not accept null value passwords. See “Dynamic Addressing Process” in the Avaya
one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance
Guide. The telephone stores 802.1X credentials when successful authentication is achieved.
Post-installation authentication attempts occur using the stored 802.1X credentials, without
prompting the user for ID and password entry.
An IP telephone can support several different 802.1X authentication scenarios, depending on
the capabilities of the Ethernet data switch to which it is connected. Some switches may
authenticate only a single device per switch port. This is known as single-supplicant or
port-based operation. These switches typically send multicast 802.1X packets to authenticating
devices.
These switches support the following three scenarios:
● Standalone telephone (Telephone Only Authenticates) - When the telephone is
configured for Supplicant Mode (DOT1X=2), the telephone can support authentication
from the switch.
● Telephone with attached PC (Telephone Only Authenticates) - When the telephone is
configured for Supplicant Mode (DOT1X=2), the telephone can support authentication
from the switch. The attached PC in this scenario gains access to the network without
being authenticated.
● Telephone with attached PC (PC Only Authenticates) - When the telephone is
configured for Pass-Through Mode or Pass-Through Mode with Logoff (DOT1X=0 or 1),
an attached PC running 802.1X supplicant software can be authenticated by the data
switch. The telephone in this scenario gains access to the network without being
authenticated.
Some switches support authentication of multiple devices connected through a single switch
port. This is known as multi-supplicant or MAC-based operation. These switches typically send
unicast 802.1X packets to authenticating devices. These switches support the following two
scenarios:
● Standalone telephone (Telephone Only Authenticates) - When the telephone is
configured for Supplicant Mode (DOT1X=2), the telephone can support authentication
from the switch. When DOT1X is "0" or "1" the telephone is unable to authenticate with the
switch.
● Telephone and PC Dual Authentication - Both the telepho ne and the conn ected PC can
support 802.1X authentication from the switch. The telephone may be configured for
Pass-Through Mode or Pass-Through Mode with Logoff (DOT1X=0 or 1). The attached
PC must be running 802.1X supplicant software.
