The 5600 series IP telephones are for use with the Avaya IP Office system.

What's New With This Release

The 5600 series IP telephones, available from March 21, 2005 on Release 3.0 of IP Office, run with telephone firmware release 2.2. The standards-based 5600 Series IP Telephones support desktop applications above and beyond telephony. Several models are available. This firmware release includes more services, including push of content to phone displays and audio paths, that are being made available to third party applications developers.

Several administrative procedures have been added that help initial set up and back up of station programming. A new STATIC programming parameter is added for 5610 and 5620 for flexible IP addressing. A new local procedure, C L E A R , has been added for more complete IP telephone resets.
