advance of SIP protocol definitions and telephone implementations.
Before you perform administration tasks, ensure that the proper hardware is in place, and your
call server software is compatible with the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones. Avaya recommends
the latest CM software and the latest SIP IP telephone firmware.
