9600 Series IP Deskphone Installation
12 9600 Series H.323 Deskphones Release 6.0 Installation and Maintenance Guide
which speeds data transmission. The 9641 also has an integrated Bluetooth™ interface; setup
of a Bluetooth device is described in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone H.323 for 9621/9641 IP
Telephone User Guide (Document Number 16-602638).
This document describes the installation of the four Release 6.0 deskphones (9608, 9611G,
9621G, and 9641G) and post-installation maintenance issues. For details about using
deskphone features, see the user documentation for each deskphone. For information about
desk or wall mounting, see the instructions boxed with the telephone. Wall or desk mount
instructions are also available on the Avaya support Web site http://www.avaya.com/support

Software
As shipped from the factory, a deskphone may not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and 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
functionality.
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, the media server provides the capability for a
remote restart of the IP telephone. As a consequence of restarting, the deskphone
automatically starts reboot procedures which result in a download if new software is available.
Chapter 4:
Maintaining 9600 Series IP Deskphones covers downloading new software
releases.
Pre-Installation Checklist
Before plugging in a 9608, 9611G, 9621G, or 9641G Deskphone, verify that all the following
requirements are met. Failure to do so prevents the deskphone 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 or IPv6 version of
Internet Protocol.
2. Avaya supports 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G Deskphones running Software Release
6.0 and later on Avaya Communication Manager (CM) 3.1.4 and later switches.
