Wireless Handset Overview
The Avaya 3641/3645/6120/6140 IP Wireless Handsets are Wi-Fi handsets for
workplace telephone systems. The handsets operate over a VIEW-certified
802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN (WLAN) providing users a wireless extension of the SIP call
server. By seamlessly integrating into a SIP environment, the system provides high-
quality mobile voice communication to the wireless telephone users throughout the
workplace. The system gives users the freedom to roam throughout the workplace while
providing many of the features and functionality of a wired SIP desk phone.
Note:
The Avaya 3641/3645/6120/6140 IP Wireless Handsets do not provide 802.11n support
in their Admin menu structure. However, Polycom VIEW certifies the APs running in ‘n’
mode. When the APs use ‘n’ mode, the handset registers as a ‘b’ client and negotiates a
lower rate for its own traffic. This has the effect of slowing down the overall network
speed, but this is no different than any legacy ‘b’ client co-existing on an ‘n’ network.
Consult the VIEW Certified AP Guide for more information.
In a SIP environment, each handset may have up to six sets of credentials to identify
itself as belonging to a particular user. The Avaya Aura® configuration establishes the
maximum calls per line. .
Changing the software from H.323/CCMS or UNIStim
to SIP
The Avaya 3641/3645 IP Wireless Handsets default software is the CCMS protocol
software. The Avaya 6120/6140 IP Wireless Handset default software is the UNIStim
protocol software. You will need to change the license to the SIP software in the Admin
menu. See the minimum configuration instructions in Chapter 5 for exact instructions.
Note:
Only Avaya 6120/6140 IP Wireless Handsets manufactured after August 2010
are capable of loading SIP software. The manufacturing date can be seen on
the label in the battery compartment.
The default admin password for each protocol is as follows:
Avaya SIP 27238 (CRAFT)
CCMS 123456
