Chapter 1: Overview
Deskphone models relevant to this guide
This guide describes only five models: 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G. For
information about the other models, see Avaya IP Deskphone H.323 9608, 9608G, 9611G,
9621G, and 9641G Administrator Guide,16-300694.
The phones have an Ethernet switch with which the phone and a PC can share the same LAN
connection, if appropriate. Thus, these models do not work with the 30A switched hub interface.
The 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G models have a gigabit Ethernet (GigE) interface, which
speeds data transmission. The 9641G phone also has an integrated Bluetooth
™
interface. For
information about the setup of a Bluetooth device, see Using Avaya IP Deskphone H.323 9621
and 9641,16-602638.
This document describes the installation of the 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G
deskphones and post-installation maintenance issues for the phones. For information about
using phone features, see the user documentation for each phone. For information about desk
