We had a demonstration of IP Phones from Avaya. They showed us a variety of phones, the 1165e, 1140e, and the 9641g. We have got the 1165e and 1140e to work on our system, but has anyone had any success with the 9641g?
 
Just doing a little research here for you. It appears the 9641g phone is for use with Avaya Communication Manager, not the CS1000. It also looks like it is supported with the One-X Communicator. It can also be configured as a SIP phone which would require you to have a Signal Server configured for SIP Line on the CS1000. The 1165e and 1140e use Unistim to communicate with the signal servers and the CS1000.
 
As far as I know you can use the 11xx phones as either SIP or Unistim on a CS1000, although Unistim seems to offer a ton more features. I am sure the Avaya 9641g phone would work with some features for basic SIP, but not as fully effective Unistim phone.

How do you like your 1165e sets? Have you made any custom backgrounds for the display?

We haven't installed any custom backgrounds for the 1165e yet. Until somebody comes out with some Youtube instruction that gives step by setup on how to setup the background, we will not do it.

We love the sets. The sound coming out of the speaker phone is awesome. It looks great and functions great.

The only dislike is that the buttons are the international version. We initially ordered an 1165e for testing and it has English buttons. This one just has pictures. I'll have to talk to our vendor to see whats up with that.

Everyone loves the 1165e over the Avaya 9641g phone anyways.
 
Can you send me the international buttons if you get rid of them :) I actually wish all of my 11xx phones had the icons, as I more of a design type and I like the pictoral graphics.

The sound on the phones are amazing, and the voice quality on a paging system is unbelievable from the 1165e sets. I'll try making a Youtube video tonight on how to make the images work for the background, well if the webmaster doesn't delete my reference to the Youtube posting like they did everything else on here.

I personally think the Avaya9600 phones look like boards....they aren't visually that exciting, and the ring tones are from the 1983 era of the System 75 digital 7400 series sets.

They are better thant he Cisco phones though, in my opinion.....

Actually the 9641G impressed me this weekend. I had one in my hotel room this past weekend at the
JW Marriott Essex House in NYC this weekend and my Room had 2 9641G phones and the ring tone wasn't the 1980s era ring tones....the ring was really cool!
