8. Conclusion
These Application Notes describe how to configure a network with Avaya Aura® Session
Manager Release 6.1 and Avaya Aura® Communication Manager Release 6.0.1. Avaya Aura®
Communication Manager serves as a Evolution Server within the Avaya Aura® Session
Manager architecture and supports Avaya 9600 Series SIP endpoints registered to Avaya Aura®
Session Manager. Avaya 9600 Series IP Deskphones (running Avaya one-X® H.323) and 2420
Digital Telephones are also supported Avaya Aura® Communication Manager.
The network in the sample configuration uses two Avaya Aura® Session Managers deployed as
a pair of active-active redundant servers. Two Session Managers are deployed so that one
Session Manager can serve as backup for the other in case of network or a Session Manager
failure.
Interoperability testing included making bi-directional calls between SIP endpoints and several
other types of stations on Communication Manager Evolution Server. In addition, various
features including hold, transfer and conference were tested on these calls. Finally, testing was
performed to verify calls between SIP endpoints and other types of stations on Avaya Aura®
Communication Manager Evolution Server were successful even when there were network
connectivity issues or when one of the Session Managers was not available.
