Remote H.323 phones through a Avaya SBCe?

[AvayaNACR]

Working on a deployment with all remote phones and apps. As we know IP Office does not accept SIP loads on a 96x1 phone (yet), I have no VPN to play with would prefer to not use port forwarding on the firewall. I will have an SBC for the apps like One-X mobile, so it would be nice to just use the SBC for the IP phones as well. Based on Page 8 of this

It looks like I may be able to connect a H.323 to the same Avaya SBCe as the SIP endpoints and SIP trunks?

Also can I use same External IP address for the endpoints and trunks?

Thanks

And if I use port forwarding/ NAT traversal through the Firewall
Can I do many phones to one External IP Address?

Not possible. I don't understand it but it is true.
We had the same problem and converted the phones to sip. Now they work with an sbc.

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

@tlpeter you mean that 96XX works with SIP firmware when used behind SBC ? And it still don't work on internal network ?

96xx SIP phones work in IP Office, they are just not supported.
When I tested they also use an Avaya Endpoint license instead of 3rd party.

The SBCE only handles SIP, for H.323 you'll need to connect remote extensions directly to the IP Office.

Did you lose any feature set using the SIP load on 96xx phones?

Any kind of job aid on the SIP load?

You lose most features, they become an analogue device in effect
