The standards-based Avaya 4600 Series IP Telephones bring the rich features and functions of Avaya Communication Manager directly to the desktop, while also supporting desktop applications above and beyond telephony. Several models are available, ranging from entry-level IP telephones to those built specifically for demanding contact center environments, to sophisticated color-display screenphones. The 4600 Series Telephones can be deployed in traditional office environments as well as remotely – via an integrated VPN client and are easily configured to support both the H.323 protocol as well as SIP.
802.1x Multi-Supplicant support. 802.1x is the IEEE standard providing port by port authentication within Ethernet environments. 802.1x Multi-Supplicant support is also provided by Extreme Networks within their Ethernet switching products. So together, Avaya and Extreme provide a simple and highly secure solution.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol – LLDP support. LLDP is a protocol (802.1AB) that allows a device to advertise its features/characteristics (device type, SW release, MAC address, etc.) when connected to a network.
Security Enhancements. In the ongoing effort to make Avaya IP telephones more secure, several enhancements have been put into place, improving, among other things, resilience to Denial of Service attacks and Push security. Additionally, default security parameters have been improved by turning off SNMP by default.
Missed-Calls on-screen counter. A usability enhancement to display the number of recently missed calls on the top line of the phone. This provides the user with important information at a glance.
