96xx Call center phones

I ran into a problem where I have a few 9620, 9650 phones for call center agents. Upon them logging in they are kicked out in a few seconds.
I have to change the station auto answer to none (then the calls don't drop in), or keep it on ACD and have to keep the handset off-hook but hit headset every time a call comes in.

Then I go onto Avaya and see that they are at the End Of Sale for these models. So my question is outside of using 1X Agent what is another IP phone that I can use for Call Centers, also using headsets well it gets the zip tone and calls drop in?

The 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G can all be used as call center agents. On a 9641G, you can replace the standard faceplate with a "CC Faceplate" which covers the handset cradle. On all models EXCEPT the 9621G, you can add a "dual headset adapter" which provides two jacks for headsets. If you are using CC Elite, all of these models have a UI which provide additional information for agents.

You can find Contact Center User Guides for these models on support.avaya.com.
 
You need to hit the headset button and have a headset installed for Auto Answer: ACD mode to work. Note: headset light needs to stay on.
If you have a handset then Auto Answer: none should work.
 
Set 'HEADSYS 1' in the 46xxsettings.txt file then reboot the phones. This will fix the issue where the agent is logged out a few seconds after logging in. We ran into this deploying a call center with several hundred 9641G phones. It will make the headset button ignore the switch hook under the handset.
