Avaya 9608 - Updating Phone Software for Installation; Plugging in the Deskphone

Updating phone software for installation
About this task
A phone that is shipped from the factory might not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and operation. When you first plug in the phone, a software download from an HTTP
server might be initiated. The software download provides the phone upgraded functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the Avaya call server provides the capability for
a remote restart of the IP phone. When you restart the phone, the phone automatically restarts
and performs a download if new software is available. For more information, see About software
distribution packages on page 57 and Downloading software packages on page 58.
Plugging in the deskphone
About this task
Caution:
Use the correct jack when you plug in the deskphone. You can find the jacks at the rear of the
deskphone housing. Icons on the side of the jacks represent the correct use of each jack.
You can only provide power to the 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, 9641G and 9641GS deskphones
with the IP Phone Global Single Port PoE Injector (GSPPOE-xx), the new Telephone Power
Module (DC power jack) which is available separately (Comcode 700511266). In addition, all
deskphones support IEEE 802.3af-standard LAN-based power. Before you install a 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.
When you add devices like multiple button modules or a USB device to applicable IP deskphones,
the power class might change. Ensure that all the button modules are of the same model type.
Table 1 below shows the effect of such additions on the power class and indicates how to set the
IEEE power switch on the back of the deskphone to accommodate different power needs. When
you add USB devices, the deskphone displays instructions for any additional power needs.
Note:
The 9621G is a PoE Class 2 device with a 10/100/1000 switch and does not have an IEEE
power switch. The 9601 and 9621G do not support a button module, a USB device, or a Dual
Headset Adapter.
Note:
If you set the IEEE switch on the back of the deskphone to H, the deskphone registers as a
Class 3 device, even if the actual power usage is applicable to Class 1 or 2.
