Avaya 4620 and 4621 handsets SIP Extensions

[hunte37]

Hi Guys,

I am currently trying to configure an Avaya 4620 SIP handset to work with an Asterisk server using SIP.

Can these handsets allow you to enter sip usernames with alphanumerical characters, for example jon-123 or do they only support numerical values for SIP extensions ?

Any help and confirmation of firmware release of support would be great if applicable.

Many thanks

Jon

Hi All,

Looking at the 46xxsettings.txt it appears its possible with SIP release 2.2.2;
