Converting a J159/J169/J179/J189 IP Phone from SIP to H323
The Avaya J159/J169/J179/J189 IP Phones are pre-loaded with J100 SIP software. Utilize the procedure below to convert them to Deskphone H.323 software.
1. The J169/J179 must be using J100 2.0.0 or later software. If not using 2.0.0 software, then it must first be upgraded to J100 2.0.0 or later software. The version of software can be determined via the "View" menu item. The following models are delivered from Avaya with this required software so do not need to be checked: a. J169D01A hardware revision 06 b. J179D02A hardware revision 05 The J159 with software 4.0.3 and J189 with 4.0.6.1 and later support upgrade to H.323 software
2. Unzip the Deskphone H.323 6.8.5 installation package in the correct directory on your HTTP server. Also unzip the J100 SIP 2.0.0 (or later) installation package in the correct directory on your HTTP server.
3. There are three methods which can be chosen from: a. Manual (use if you will have a mixture of SIP and H.323 J159/J169/J179/J189): i. Install the Avaya J159/J169/J179/J189 on your network with access to the http server and apply power to the phone. ii. During the bootup sequence, access the Administration menu by pressing the "Admin" softkey and entering the administration password (default is 27238) iii. Scroll to "Signaling" in the Administration menu, press "Select" softkey, press the "Change" softkey until "H.323" is highlighted, and press "Save". Press "Back" to exit from the Administration menu and the IP Phone will automatically reboot to apply the changed settings. iv. After rebooting, the J159/J169/J179/J189 will download and install the Deskphone H323 software. b. DHCP (only use if all J159/J169/J179/J189 will be deployed with Deskphone H.323 software): i. If using DHCP to provide custom options to the IP Phones, add SIG=1 to the string. ii. Install the J159/J169/J179/J189 on your network with access to the http server and DHCP server and apply power to the phone. iii. After retrieving the SIG setting via DHCP, the J159/J169/J179/J189 will download and install the Dekphone H.323 software c. 46xxsettings.txt (only use if all J159/J169/J179/J189 will be deployed with Deskphone H.323 software) i. Add "SET SIG 1" in your 46xxsetttings.txt file on your http server ii. Install the J159/J169/J179/J189 on your network with access to the http server and apply power to the phone.

iii. After retrieving the SIG setting via the 46xxsettings.txt file, the J159/J169/J179/J189 will download and install the Dekphone H.323 software
4. After the conversion, confirm that the upgrade was successful by either: a. Press the "Mute" button, enter the defined administrator password, followed by "#". Scroll to the "View" menu item, scroll down to "Release" and confirm that it shows "6.8502" b. Press the "Menu Menu" button, scroll down to "About Avaya IP Deskphone", press "Select" softkey, and confirm that it shows "Release 6.8502".

Advisements with H.323 6.8 software

Weather Application no longer works

The provider of the service for the Weather Application deprecated that service on 15 January 2020. As such, the Weather Application no longer works as of that date. Avaya removed the ability to configure this capability in 6.8.4.02 release of Deskphone H.323 software.

J159/J169/J179/J189 ­ features supported and aliasing

When deployed with Deskphone H.323 software, the J159/J169/J179/J189 IP Phone appears to Avaya Communication Manager as an H.323 9611G IP Deskphone, J169/J179 IP Phone appears to IP office as an H.323 9611G IP Deskphone. They are administered the same as an H.323 9611G and provides the same capabilities and user interface as an H.323 9611G with the exception of support for USB features (as the J169/J179 do not have a USB port).
J159 with H.323 software doesn't support USB port, WML browser, Call Center environment, JEM24/JBM24 modules.
J189 with H.323 software supports two JEM24 modules. It doesn't support JBM24 modules.
For Avaya Aura, the J159/J169/J179/J189 should be programmed as a 9611.
For IP Office J169/J179 should be programmed as a 9611. IP office doesn't support H.323 J159/J189.
JEM24 Software ­ J169/J179/J189 Software Compatiblity

The Deskphone H.323 6.8.5 installation zip file contains JEM24 1.0.1.0.15 software
for installations on associated JEM24 modules. The JEM24 will automatically be
upgraded from the J169/J179/J189 IP Phone. The JEM24 1.0.1.0.15 software will
work with J100 SIP 4.0.1.0 or later and Deskphone H.323 6.8.5 or later. Attempting to use it with earlier versions of J100 SIP / Deskpone H.323 software will result in the JEM24 not being able to connect to the J169/J179/J189.
J169/J179 with 3 JBM24/JEM24 modules ­ 5-volt power supply required

With H.323 6.7.1 or later software, the power requirements of the JBM24 have been corrected. After this change, a J169/J179 and three JBM24/JEM24 exceeds the Class 2 PoE power limit under maximum load. As such, the 5-volt power supply is required with the J169/J179 when 3 JBM24/JEM24 are installed.

IP Phone Settings Tool

Customers are advised to refrain from using the IP Phone Settings Tool as it is not up to date.

Interworking ­ TLS 1.2
Deskphone H.323 6.6.2 and later software upgrades TLS to support TLS 1.2.
Deskphone H.323 6.6.2 also adds a new configuration parameter (TLS_VERSION) which can be used to configure the Deskphone to only use TLS 1.2. Care must be taken to only use this parameter when all components to which the deskphone will communicate can also support TLS 1.2.
Interworking ­ HTTPS - MVIPTEL, IIS 6
Deskphone H.323 6.6.2 and later software does not support secure HTTP (HTTPS) with MVIPTEL or IIS 6. MVIPTEL is end-of-support by Avaya and IIS 6 is end-of-support by Microsoft. Customers using either of these servers are recommended to upgrade to a current version of an HTTPS server which supports TLS 1.2.
