Introduction
10 SIP Deskphones Release 6.1 Installation and Maintenance Guide
Information about Avaya products can be obtained at the following URL:

Issue 1 December 2010 11
Chapter 2: 9600 Series IP Deskphone Installation
Introduction
9600 Series IP Deskphones use Internet Protocol (IP) technology with Ethernet interfaces. The
9601 Deskphones introduced in Release 6.1 supplement the existing Avaya IP Solutions
platform.
The 9600 Series IP Deskphones support DHCP and HTTP/HTTPS over IPv4/UDP which
enhances the administration and servicing of the deskphones. These deskphones use DHCP to
obtain dynamic IP Addresses and HTTP or HTTPS to download new software versions and
customized settings.
All 9600 Series IP Deskphones provide the ability to have one IP connection on the desktop for
both a deskphone set and a PC using an Ethernet switch.
In compliance with Australian law, the following information is provided:
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 240VAC rms to any
primary/mains circuitry and 120VAC rms to any telecommunications network circuitry). To
ensure that these conditions are adhered to, interconnect the equipment only with the
already approved/certified equipment.
IP Deskphone Models
There are fifteen models currently defined in the 9600 Series IP Deskphone family that run the
SIP protocol. Only the model shown in bold text are covered in this guide; the remaining models
are described in the Avaya one-X™Deskphone SIP Administrator Guide (Document Number
16-601944) and the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone SIP Installation and Maintenance Guide
Release 6.0 for 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G IP Deskphones (Document Number
16-603604):
●9601 ●9620 ●9630 ●9641G
●9608 ●9620C ●9630G ●9650
●9610 ●9620L ●9640
●9611G ●9621G ●9640G

9600 Series IP Deskphone Installation
12 SIP Deskphones Release 6.1 Installation and Maintenance Guide
The deskphones have an internal Ethernet switch that allows the deskphone and a PC to share
the same LAN connection, if appropriate. Thus, 9600 models do not need, or work with, the 30A
switched hub interface.
This document describes the installation of the 9601 and post-installation maintenance issues.
For details about using deskphone features, see the user documentation for the deskphone.
Software
The 9601 IP Deskphones ship from the factory set to the SIP protocol. To run the deskphones in
a SIP environment, you must convert the deskphone(s) to SIP settings. Further, a
factory-shipped 9600 Series IP Deskphone may not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and SIP operation. When the deskphone is first plugged in, a software download
from an HTTP server might be initiated. The software download gives the deskphone upgraded
SIP functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, SIP Enablement Services (SES) or Avaya
Aura®Session Manager provides the capability for a remote restart of the deskphone. As a
consequence of restarting, the deskphone automatically starts reboot procedures which result
in a download if new SIP software is available. Chapter 4: Maintaining 9600 Series IP
Deskphones covers downloading new software releases.
SES or Session Manager/Avaya Communication Manager
(CM)/Secondary Gateway Configurations
SIP Software Release 6.0 is compatible with Release 6.0 of both Avaya Aura®Communication
Manager and SIP Enablement Services, with Release 6.0 of Communication Manager and
Avaya Aura®Session Manager. This release supports the following certified secondary
gateways:
●Avaya Secure Router 2330 and 4134
●Audiocodes MP-series analog and BRI gateways
●Cisco 2811 ISR
●Juniper SRX 210 and 240
●I55
●Teldat Vyda gateway

Pre-Installation Checklist
Issue 1 December 2010 13
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before plugging in a 9601 Deskphone, verify that all the following requirements are met. Failure
to do so prevents the deskphones from working properly and can have a negative impact on the
network. Print copies of this checklist for each server and deskphone.
Verify These Network Requirements
1. Ensure that the LAN uses Ethernet Category 5e cabling running the IPv4 version of
Internet Protocol.

Assembling the Deskphone
!CAUTION:
CAUTION: Be careful to use the correct jack when plugging in the deskphone. The jacks are
located on the back of the deskphone housing and are flanked by icons to
represent their correct use.
Powering the IP Deskphone
The 9601 deskphones can be locally powered only with the new Telephone Power Module (DC
power jack), the IP Phone Single Port PoE Injector (SPPOE-xx), which is available separately.
In addition, the deskphones support IEEE 802.3af-standard LAN-based power. Before installing
a 9601 Deskphone, verify with the LAN administrator whether the LAN supports IEEE 802.3af,
and if so, whether the deskphone should be powered locally or by means of the LAN.
Table 1: Impact of Additional Devices on Telephone Power over Ethernet Power Class
!Important:
Important: The last step in assembling the 9600 Series IP Deskphone must be applying
power. Apply power either by plugging the power cord into the power source
(local powering) or plugging the modular line cord into the Ethernet wall jack
(IEEE powering).

jack labeled DATA IN. Plug the other end of this cord into the Ethernet wall jack. Finally,
connect the SPPOE-xx to an AC power source.
Power-Up and Reset Operation (Dynamic Addressing
Process)
Note:
Note: Before starting this process you must have an OPTIM extension number for the
SIP deskphone, the Avaya Aura Communication Manager security code
(password), and a login and password on the SES/SM server.
Any reference to the HTTP server applies equally to an HTTPS server.
The initial display messages, some of which are part of DHCP give a "power on" indication and
dynamic feedback as the telephone initializes. The intent of these messages is to reassure the
user that the phone is active and has not "locked up," and to provide useful information about
the status of network, server or downloading operations before the availability of dial tone.
Initialization
The following process describes the software architecture as well as providing a high-level
overview of how the telephone is expected to operate during startup and software upgrades.
This is by no means a comprehensive description of all of the internal tasks performed during
startup.
Files are stored in five areas of reprogrammable non-volatile (flash) memory in the deskphones:
●a boot program area,
●two Kernel/Root File Systems,

Power-Up and Reset Operation (Dynamic Addressing Process)
Issue 1 December 2010 19
●one Application File System, and
●one Temporary Storage area.
Two Kernel/Root File Systems are supported in case one becomes corrupted, but only one is
activated when the telephone powers up or resets. Temporary Storage is used to store a new
Signed Application/Library Software Package that has been downloaded by the current
application until it can be installed by a process in the active Kernel/Root File System after the
next reset.
When a telephone starts up, the boot programs check the Kernel/Root File System that has
previously been marked as the one to be activated to ensure that it has not become corrupted,
and if it has not, it transfers control to a process in that file system. If that file system is
corrupted, the boot program checks the other Kernel/Root File System. If that file system is not
corrupted, it is marked as the one to be activated, the value of RFSINUSE is set to the name of
the Signed Kernel/Root Software Package that was used to install that file system, and control
is transferred to a process in it. If both Kernel/Root File Systems are corrupted, the telephone
will not operate and must be returned for repair.
A process in the active Kernel/Root File System first checks whether a Signed Application/
Library Software Package is stored in Temporary Storage, and if it finds one, it installs the
Application Software Package and/or the Library Software Package if either has a different file
name than the currently installed version, replacing the existing corresponding files in the
Application File System. The copy of the Signed Application/Library Software Package stored in
Temporary Storage is then deleted. If a Signed Application/Library Software Package is not
found in Temporary Storage, the process checks the integrity of the application files, and if they
are corrupted, the process installs files from the Backup Package, replacing the corrupted
application files in the Application File System. Any time an Application Software Package or a
Library Software Package is installed, the value of the persistent parameter APPINUSE is set to
the file name of the Signed Application/Library Software Package from which it was installed. If
the application files are not corrupted, or after the Backup Package has been installed, control is
transferred to the application installed in the Application File System. Note that the processes in
the Kernel/Root File System do not connect to the network or download files.
The application then connects to the network, obtains any necessary IP address information,
and download files, starting with the upgrade and settings configuration files, and including
Signed Software Packages and other separately downloaded files such as Language Files and
Certificate Files. When a Signed Software Package (which can contain either Kernel and Root
Software Packages or Application and Library Software Packages) is downloaded, it is initially
stored in volatile memory (RAM). Other downloaded files (such as Language Files and
Certificate Files) are installed directly in the Application File System.
When either type of Signed Software Package is downloaded, the Signing Authority Certificate
is extracted from the package and is validated using a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority Certificate that is contained in the existing application software files. If the
Signing Authority Certificate is invalid, the package is deleted. If the Signing Authority Certificate
is valid, the Hardware Version File in the package is validated using the corresponding
Signature File in the package and the Signing Authority Certificate. If the signature is invalid, the
package is deleted. If the signature is valid, the Hardware Version File is used to validate
whether the package is valid for the model and hardware version of the telephone. If it is invalid,

9600 Series IP Deskphone Installation
20 SIP Deskphones Release 6.1 Installation and Maintenance Guide
the package is deleted. If it is valid, the signature of the Software Packages is validated using
the corresponding Signature Files in the package and the Signing Authority Certificate. If either
signature is invalid, the package is deleted.
If the signatures are valid and the Signed Software Package is a Signed Application/Library
Software Package, the package is stored in Temporary Storage. If the Backup Flag is set in the
Hardware Version File, a copy of the Signed Application / Library Software Package is also
stored as the Backup Package, replacing the previous Backup Package.
If the signatures are valid and the Signed Software Package is a Signed Kernel/Root Software
Package, the Kernel Software Package and/or the Root File System Software Package is
installed if either has a different file name than the currently installed version, replacing the
existing corresponding files in the Kernel/Root File System that was not active during startup (a
Root File System Software Package may also install new boot programs in the boot program
area), that Kernel/Root File System is marked as the one to be activated after the next
power-up or reset, and the value of the persistent parameter RFSINUSE is set to the file name
of the Signed Kernel/Root Software Package that was installed.
Finally, if a new Signed Kernel/Root Software Package was installed, the telephone will reset to
activate the new Kernel/Root File System, which will install a new Signed Application/Library
Software Package as described above if one has been stored in Temporary Storage. If a new
signed Kernel/Root Software Package was not installed, the telephone application attempts to
register with a call server.
Power-Up and Reset Process
When you plug the deskphone set into the Ethernet wall jack and apply power, if applicable, the
following process takes place.
Note:
Note: If the application has already been downloaded, the whole process takes
approximately 1 to 2 minutes after the deskphone is plugged in. For software
upgrades, including the boot file and application file download, the process might
take 5 - 10 minutes. The duration is based on LAN loading, how many
deskphones are being installed at once, and similar factors.
Do not unplug the power cord during the download process.
During hardware initialization, the system initialization values NVCONTRAST and
NVBRIGHTNESS are checked for non-null values, and set accordingly. The Avaya one-X™
name and logo display on sets with bit-mapped displays.
1. The system initialization value for the language file in use (NVLANGFILE) is checked for a
non-null value, in which case the text strings in that language file are used for text display.
Otherwise, English text strings are displayed.
2. The boot programs check the Kernel/Root File System that has previously been marked as
the one to be activated to ensure that it has not become corrupted, and if it has not,
