Avaya Aura 6.2 Solution Capabilities
Following is a summary of the capabilities of Avaya Aura Communication Manager 6.2
and Avaya Aura Session Manager 6.2 supported by SMGR 6.2:
Unscreened ANI
The SM Verizon adaptation module has been augmented with a new capability to match
the “unscreened ANI” requirements of service providers. The “screened telephone
number” or STN is used to allow any enterprise user to make outgoing calls using any
service provider, even if the call is originated from a DID not provided by the service
provider.
The originating number (PAI) to STN mapping is configured on the adaptation module
SMGR screen, using the new column "Adaptation Data".
Figure 1: Unscreened ANI Administration
Cisco Endpoint Support
Customers can now use existing Cisco endpoints with the 6.2 release of Session
Manager and Communication Manager. SM has made several modifications to handle
the standards inconsistencies of Cisco phones.
-
SM effectively shortens standard SIP messages so Cisco phones can accept them
without degradation functionality
-
The unnecessary Accept header is inserted to allow Cisco phones to receive incoming
calls
-
Cisco phones do not subscribe to the required message waiting feature status package
and thus SM detects the Cisco phones and sends out of dialog NOTIFY messages so
the MWI indicators will work on Cisco phones.
No special administration for Cisco phones is required as SM detects the Cisco phones
and applies the adaptations automatically.
Supported and tested Cisco phones are: 7960, with FW version P0S3-8-12-00 and 7961, 7962,
7941, and 794 with FW version 8.5.4.
New SIP Endpoint Features
Avaya Aura release 6.2 includes the addition of the following features on SIP handsets
that are also available on the H.323 versions. These powerful features differentiate

Avaya Aura from our competitors which fall short in providing key business telephony
features.
Enhanced Call Forwarding – the user can use the SIP phone displays to set and monitor
6 different types of call forwarding including different numbers for internal and external
incoming calls.
Enhanced Call Pickup Alerting – ability to change how the call pickup button alerts with
no-ring, delayed ring, ring ping, etc.
Team Button – the popular team feature where calls can be answered for a team by
choosing the caller from a display, calling the team by pressing the button, etc.
Group Paging – ability to have SIP phones receive group call
Automatic Dial Button Programming – where SIP endpoint users can use SIP endpoint
displays to program the A/D button numbers and the labels for a customized user
experience.
Contact Center Functionality – the array of buttons and features most used by contact
centers including agent login, logout, aftercall work, aux work, etc.
Local Dial Plans – SM software now downloads the dialplans used for each location so
users do not need to wait for dialling timeouts when dialling local extensions in multi-
extension length environments. Calls are placed immediately when the dialled digits
match the administered dialplan length. As with the market leading centralized Avaya
Aura dialplan control, no settings files need be administered and no “send” key is ever
needed when placing calls.
Per-Button Ring Control - SMGR can be used to administer the ringing behaviour for
each line and bridged line appearance on SIP stations for ring-ping, delayed,
abbreviated, etc. ringing.
Multiple Emergency Numbers
SM 6.2 allows up to 10 emergency numbers to be administered per location. This
allows compatibility with countries with more than one number, allows the integration of
the Euro-wide 112 number to be employed along with specific country numbers, and
provides adaptation for local regulations.
Advanced SIP Conferencing
Session Manager 6.2 supports the RFC 4579 style conferencing setup for voice, video
and text conferences. Fully compatible with the conferencing capabilities provided by
AAC, Meeting Exchange (MX), and CM, conferences are established using a
conference “factory” and conference “focus” as per IETF standards. The endpoints do
not need to know the conference URI. The conference URI’s are administered using
SMGR for each user in a conference set and can be configured for voice, video, or text,
with a list of secondary, tertiary and more backups for world-class reliability. This
allows users to participate in conferences where user name displays, per-user muting,
and more than 6 parties are possible.
Advanced SIP Application Sequencing
Session Manager now supports sequenced application filtering based on media type.
Applications are sequenced based on the type of media requested and any combination
of text, voice or video can be selected as shown in this screen shot of the SMGR
administration options for each application in a sequence.

Media application sequencing greatly reduces the message traffic needed for
sequencing (especially video and text applications), and simplifies application
development.
Advanced Trunking Flexibility and Features
Avaya Aura 6.2 also provides unsurpassed interoperability with non-standards
compliant third party equipment. Some H.323/SIP gateways use the non standard “SIP
INFO” method to transmit DTMF digits to/from SIP networks. Avaya Aura 6.2 CM,
Experience Portal, MX, Avaya Aura Conferencing, and Avaya Aura Messaging now
support using the SIP INFO method to allow H.323 network equipment to use common
voicemail, IVR, and end-end DTMF operation. This is a good example Avaya’s
commitment to the support in interoperability with third party vendor equipment.
Applications and users now on different media types will have the assurance of DTMF
functionality, such as Modular Messaging, Meeting Exchange, Voice Portal or other
customer provided trunk applications.
Communication Manager provides further flexibility to Type of Network (TON)
functionality to be applied to trunks connecting to 3
rd
party switches or applications,
especially those connected via Q.Sig. Better functionality with such switches and
applications provides leading interoperability for customers with unique scenarios.
Figure 2: Heterogeneous H.323 and SIP Network
SIP Connection Preservation
The Avaya Aura SIP solution in release 6.2 can fully reconstruct stable calls that involve
SIP trunks or SIP stations connected to endpoints on H.248 media gateways when the
CM fails over to an administered survivable server or survivable remote (SC, SR), or
vice versa. This matches the existing 6.0 capability for non-SIP endpoints. Note that

survivable SIP trunking is not yet available on the SR configurations, and we announce
plans for this exciting feature to be delivered in the near future.
SIP Call Preservation
SIP call preservation goes a step farther than connection preservation to provide the fault
tolerant behavior coveted by 24/7 heathcare and contact center architects. Call
preservation goes beyond simple connection preservation as it allows the agent or user the
ability to hold, unhold, transfer, conference, etc. a an existing call after the failure occurs.
For a contact center using Experience Portal, ICR, or just CM, it means calls queued for an
agent before a failure will remain queued and will be offered to agents without being
dropped after SM or network failures.
Access Security Gateway Authentication
Beginning with the 6.2 release, the following core Session Manager command line
services logins are authenticated using Avaya’s Access Security Gateway (ASG) on
production systems:
craft
sroot
init
inads
Authentication File Download Support
To match a capability currently available on CM 6.0.1, SM has adopted the use of the
CLI command “
loadpwd
”.
loadpwd
requests the new authentication file from the
installing technician, downloads it, validates its authenticity, decrypts it, parses the
contents and stores the received data in the appropriate SM locations.
SIP Contact Center Elite Agents
CM and SM in support of contact center functionality now support SIP agent equipment.
In addition to the traditional DCP and H.323 endpoints, agents may now employ SIP
terminals for an end-end SIP contact center solution.
Avaya Aura Contact Centre Call Information Enhancements
Communication Manager in support of Avaya Aura Contact Center (AACC) will provide
more context of call state via SIP. Call states such as Hold, Transfer or Conference will
be provided to AACC enhancing its capabilities for call routing.
2.4.
Interoperability
Avaya Aura components connect to any IETF compliant SIP solution. Interoperability
with Avaya Aura starts and ends with connectivity with Avaya Aura Session Manager at
the core of any enterprise. The following products have been certified to interoperate
and connect directly with Avaya Aura Session Manager and detailed design assurance
and operation integrity confirmation is available with Avaya.

Session Manager Connection Licensing
Avaya Aura Session Manager 6.2 is licensed using connection based licensing following
the theme of the SIP session-based protocol. Connection based licensing was
introduced with the SM 6.1 release and is based upon a session or connection
(sometimes known as “trunk”) model that allows customers to purchase licenses based
on the number of simultaneous SIP sessions required, rather than the number of users.
The following diagram illustrates the various connections to Session Manager and their
associated pricing. Note that both types of connection licensing - $0 and $150
connection licensing may be present in the same enterprise, and while the diagram
below is constructed of single arrows between SIP entites and SMs, each SIP entity
below will normally require multiple simultaneous connections so the licensing will be N
* $150/$0 where “N” is the number of simultaneous connections required for each SIP
entity to connect to the SM core.
Figure 3: SM Pricing Structure
264148 SM R6.X SIP CONNECTION LICENSE is required for a SIP connection to SM for one
of the following reasons:
1. CM Standard Edition server needs connections to the core for the STD CM users controlled
by it
2. CS 1000 server needs connections to the core for the Enhanced licensed users controlled by
it.
3. A third party application (like Microsoft UM, or Cisco Meeting Place) requires connections to
the core
4. A third party PBX (like Cisco UCM or Siemens 4000) needs connections to the core

5. A third party gateway – for example Multi-tech or Cisco - needs connections to the core
6. A third party SBC needs connections to the core
In short, anytime a third party piece of equipment is required to connect to the Avaya
Aura SIP core, this material code is needed for each simultaneous session needed.
264231 SM R6.X SIP CONNECTION LIC ENTITLE is required for a SIP connection to
SM for one of the following reasons:
1. CM Enterprise Edition (EE) server needs connections to the core for the EE CM
users controlled by it
2. CS 1000 server needs connections to the core for the Premium licensed users
controlled by it
3. Avaya Aura SBC, ACME Packet SBC, Avaya SBCE or Avaya SBCAE are used
to connect the SM core to a non-enterprise network like a service provider or
business partner or outsourcer network
4. An Avaya application connects to the SIP core like Modular Messaging Avaya
Aura Messaging, Voice Portal, Meeting Exchange, etc.
5. Avaya Gateways including the G860, SR/AG2330, SR/AG4134, or the certified
AudioCodes gateways (Mediant 3000, Mediant 2000, and Mediant 1000)
purchasable from Avaya using Avaya material codes that are available to both
direct and indirect channels
6. The Avaya BCM – the legacy small PBX (when the appropriate SIP connection
or session licensing is purchased on the BCM)
7. The Avaya B5800 branch solution (when the appropriate SIP connection
licensing is purchased on the B5800) with either centralized or distributed
configurations
8. IP Office connects to the core (when the appropriate SIP connection licensing is
purchased on the IP Office)
9. Avaya Integral equipment connects to the core (when the appropriate SIP
connection licensing is purchased on the Integral)
10. CS2100 SE13 needs connections to the core (when the appropriate SIP
connection licensing is purchased for the CS2100
This material code is needed for each simultaneous session required.
264232 SM R6.X SIP CONNECTION LAB LICENSE is used when the ASD is run to
configure a lab configuration. Note these licenses expire after 120 days.
264680 SM5.X TO R6.X UPG CONNECTION LIC is added to an order when ASD is
used to upgrade an SM 5.X to SM 6.1 software for user licenses the customer paid for
with 5.X (229061 – SM 5.X USER LICENSE - $20). The user licenses used in SM 5.X
will be converted to connection licenses at a 5:1 ratio. This 5:1 conversion must be
done manually after the configurator is run.
264679 SM R5.X TO R6.X UPG CONN LIC ENTITLE is used when ASD is used to
upgrade an SM 5.X to SM 6.1 software for user licenses the customer had as

charge in the upgrade) with 5.X (229060 – SM R5.X USER LICENSE w/CMEE - $0).
The user licenses used in SM 5.X will be converted to connection licenses at a 5:1 ratio.
The 5:1 conversion must be done manually after the configurator is run.
Entitlements
SM connection licenses will be an entitlement for the following:
1. CM Enterprise Edition users. For every 5 CM Enterprise Edition users ordered or
upgraded a single SM connection license will be included by ASD.
2. CS1000 Premium users. For every 5 CS1000 Premium users ordered or upgraded a
single SM connection license will be entitled.
3. CM Elite Contact Center (CC) agent licenses. For each Elite CC Agent license
purchased an SM connection license will be included. If more SM connection licenses
are required they must be purchased at the $150 price.
4. Avaya Aura Contact Center (AACC) agent licenses. For each AACC agent license
purchased an SM license will be included. If more SM connection licenses are required,
they must be purchased at the $150 price.
5. Avaya Aura SBC, Avaya SBCE, and Avaya SBCAE: For every SBC session license
ordered an SM connection license will be included.
When ASD is used to configure either CM (Enterprise license) or CS1000 (Premium
license) SM connectivity with the Premium or Enterprise licenses, the following license
will appear on the order. ASD will configure an SM connection license for use of the
users controlled by the connected CM or CS1000 with the code shown below.
Additional SM connection licenses can also be ordered for CS1000 and CM in addition
to the 1:5 ASD-provided ratio as needed but will be subject to the $150 charge.
264231 SM R6.X SIP CONNECTION LIC ENTITLE
When ASD is used to configure either CM (Standard license) or CS1000 (Enhanced
license) SM connectivity, the following license will be used for connectivity of the
CM/CS1000 to the core SMs.
264148 SM R6.X SIP CONNECTION LICENSE
If an enterprise wishes to use the application sequencing capabilities of Session
Manager for users registered to Session Manager but have not purchased an Avaya
Aura Communication Manager license, additional licenses for these kinds of users must
be purchased using ASD. This highly uncommon; in this scenario the customer will
have SIP phones registered directly to the Session Manager but will not have an Avaya
Aura Communication Manager license for that SIP user. The following is the license
that must be purchased for these users (see section 3.10 for ASD details):

To encourage early adoption and display the power of application sequencing,
laboratory systems for evaluation may be ordered via ASD with $0 Session Manager
software licenses. These licenses expire 120 days after purchase (not
installation).These laboratory systems may not be used in any type of production
environment, but may be upgraded for production use by purchasing the production
software licenses. See section 3.10 for ASD details.
3.4.
Upgrades
There is a software license charge required to upgrade Session Manager from SM 1.1
or SM 5.2 to SM 6.2. The ASD configurator may be used to design and create an
upgrade order. Upgrades to SM 6.2 from SM 6.0 or SM 6.1 require no license charge
and the 6.2 software is available for these customers via PLDS at no charge.
To upgrade an existing SM 1.1/5.2 system to 6.2, simply place the order for an upgrade
using ASD and the software may be downloaded and installed on the existing 1.1/5.2
systems in service. Upgrades may be downloaded and installed by customers.

Upgrades for existing SM 1.1 and SM 5.2 servers will need to remove the SM100 from
the chassis to complete the upgrade to SM 6.2.
It is important to note that the Avaya System Manager is still required to administer SM;
this requires a separate server to host the System Manager software.
3.8.
Required Software
SM ships from the factory with all the software pre-installed an loaded and includes the
Red Hat Linux OS and the SM application software. Proper operation of the Session
Manager requires System Manager software running on a separate server.
3.9.
Required System Manager Platform
System Manager is a software-only solution also running on the HP or Dell servers.
Although technically the System Manager will run in a virtual OS environment, it is not
offered as such and requires dedicated hardware to run in this release.
ASD (see section 3.10) has an option for customers and Business Partners to order the
hardware platform for System Manager in either simplex or duplex configurations.

Ordering Process with ASD
The CM Avaya Solution Designer (ASD) configurator will be used to configure and order
Session Manager (SM) and System Manager software. ASD will configure the SM from
a system point of view – treating SM as an enterprise-wide element for a customer. The
single ASD screen used to configure the 6.2 SM is shown below:
Figure 4: SM ASD Configuration
There are no new changes to the ASD configurator for Session Manager for the 6.2
release. The only change is how ASD is used for the Avaya SBCE and Avaya SBCAE
session border controllers. Instead of placing the number of SM connections required
in the “THIRD PARTY PBX/APPS/SBC” box, the number of connections should be
entered in the “AVAYA APPS/SBC” field since the Avaya ABCE and Avaya SBCAE
(formerly Sipera) SBCs are now Avaya equipment.

Standard Edition to the Avaya
Aura
®
Enterprise Edition.
UPGRADE and MOVE
– Upgrade is the updating of CM software release and licensing to current
– Moves are inclusive of both an Upgrade and a Transfer of the licenses
Avaya shifted to the Per User Model with the launch of Avaya Communication Manager
(CM) 3.0. With R6.x we are simplifying the upgrade structure by moving to one
transactional upgrade path and at a single tier. We no longer have the multi upgrade/
single upgrade distinction.
PARKING
– Placement of unused licensing on a non-operational or virtual server
CM 6.x licenses cannot be parked as Avaya Policy requires these licenses to be
covered under an Avaya Maintenance Contract. There is no exception to this policy.

Avaya Aura
®
for Survivable Core and Survivable Remote
With R6.0 the offer changes for purchasing Avaya Aura for Survivable Core (CM5’s
ESS) and Avaya Aura
®
for Survivable Remote (CM5’s LSP). Previously, they were sold
based on the server or gateway size. This did not scale well for small sites when
viewed competitively. R6.x uses a simple, per-user price when in use with Avaya Aura
®
Standard Edition. Similar to R5.0, both Avaya Aura
®
for Survivable Core and Avaya
Aura
®
for Survivable Remote are available for no additional charge with Avaya Aura
®
Enterprise Edition.
NOTE: The one free survivable server is no longer included with Avaya Aura
®
Standard
Edition R6.x.
Customers with existing ESS and LSP server licenses on pre-CM 6.x Standard Edition
systems will not be charged to use these servers on a CM 6.0.1 system. However,
adding additional Survivable Core or Survivable Remote servers at the time of upgrade
or later will be charged the per-user fee per below.

Upgrades Overview
In order to prepare customer translations and other data sets to be used by
Communication Manager 6.2, upgrades to Communication Manager 6.2 from previous
releases to 4.0.5 require the installation of Communication Manager 5.2.1 and then a
pre-upgrade patch (2 step upgrade). This is required because Communication Manager
6.x uses a different licensing architecture (PLDS and WebLM) than the RFA licensing
used previously, and because it runs on Avaya Aura System Platform instead of directly
on the server hardware. This new licensing architecture requires more consideration
during the upgrade preparation to ensure the appropriate steps are followed.
NOTE: For upgrades from a release prior to release 4.0.5, where a 2 step upgrade is
required, Avaya will provide the customer with a no-cost license upgrade to
Communication Manager 5.2.1 from whatever release they are on, and then will charge
normally for the upgrade from Communication Manager 5.2.1 to Communication
Manager 6.x. Because Communication Manager has uniform upgrade pricing (as
previously announced), this does not affect the ultimate upgrade price charged to the
customer. This has now been combined into a single ASD design, with both the
upgrade to CM 5.2.1 and CM6.2 codes.
NOTE: The manual application of UPPCM or SS+U is NOT required for the upgrade to
CM 5.2.1. This is automated in current releases of Avaya Solution Designer (ASD).
NOTE: CM 5.2.1 is End Of Sale on March 5, 2012. ASD will provide the CM 5.2.1 quote
components automatically regardless of the EOS.
The potential scenarios for upgrading to CM 6.2 are
a. Upgrades from Communication Manager Release 5.x
b. Upgrades from Communication Manager Release 4.x
c. Upgrades from releases Communication Manager Release 3.x and prior with Data
Preservation

d. Upgrades from releases Communication Manager Release 3.x and prior without Data
Preservation
Please refer to the following sections for guiding thorough the required steps
a. Upgrades from Communication Manager Release 5.x
Note: An ASD design is not necessary to upgrade to CM 5.2.1. An ASD design for CM 6.2 is all that is
required.
1. Install the PCN upgrade to CM 5.2.1
2. Apply the pre-upgrade patch for CM release 5.2.1
3. Use ASD to configure a CM 6.2 design as usual.
4. Install CM 6.2
b. Upgrades from Communication Manager Release 4.x
Note: This process is not applicable to CM Release 4.0.2 (JITC). An ASD design is not necessary to
upgrade to CM 4.0.5.
1. Install the PCN upgrade to CM 4.0.5
2. Apply the pre-upgrade patch for CM release 4.0.5
3. Use ASD to configure a CM 6.2 design as usual.
4. Install CM 6.2
c.
Upgrades from releases Communication Manager Release 3.x and prior with Data
Preservation
Note:
In this scenario, the customer must perform a 2 step upgrade (i.e. upgrade to CM 5.2.1 and
upgrade to CM6.2). ASD has recently been enhanced to allow both the CM 5.2.1 and CM 6.2 upgrade on
the same design. ASD must be used to generate the correct single design using the following steps:
1)
Use ASD to create the design with CM6.2 as the target, which will include both the CM 5.2.1
and CM6 upgrade codes automatically. Note: The ASD design will generate the necessary
UPPCM free upgrade codes automatically so the customer is not charged for the CM 5.2.1
upgrade. Do NOT select the UPPCM option in ASD unless the customer has a valid and
active UPPCM contract. Do NOT select the SS+U option in ASD unless the customer has a
valid and active SS+U contract. Implementation charges, however, may apply.
a. ASD will ensure only 1 set of SSI/SA codes when the target is CM6.
2)
Install CM 5.2.1 and the CM 5.2.1 license file, and then the pre-upgrade patch
3)
Install CM 6.2
NOTE: When doing the CM 5.2.1 install, it is not necessary to actually install CM 5.2.1 on any ESS or
LSP servers. This will save considerable time. These survivable servers will be installed with CM 6.2 just
before the main server is upgraded to CM 6.2. However, if the customer will remain on CM 5.2.1 for any
length of time and needs ESS or LSP survivability during this time, you will need to install CM 5.2.1 on
each of them.
d. Upgrades from releases Communication Manager Release 3.x and prior without Data
Preservation
This manual migration is not supported nor recommended as Customer data WILL be lost and
provides little value. This process is provided for informational purposes only for Avaya
Business Partners as requested.
1)
Use ASD to create the design with CM6 as the target, which will include both the CM
5.2.1 and CM 6.2 upgrade codes automatically. Note: The ASD design will generate the
necessary UPPCM free upgrade codes so the customer is not charged for the CM 5.2.1
upgrade. Do NOT select the UPPCM option in ASD unless the customer has a valid and
active UPPCM contract. Implementation charges, however, may apply.
a. ASD will ensure only 1 set of SSI/SA codes when the target is CM6.2.

b. If you are migrating from R9 and earlier, CM 5.2.1 codes are still required to upgrade
the licenses which need to be upgraded to CM5 licenses before converting them from
RFA to PLDS. If you are migrating from R10 to CM3, this step is not required since
we support direct conversion from any release to PLDS..
2)
Capture or record non-translational data. See note *1 below
3)
Backup translations (or use TMT)
4)
Install new software CM 6.2
5)
Restore translations
6)
Manually migrate license and user info
7)
Manually configure system
*note 1 – following data is not included in the translations files
• CMM translations and message store
• Web access masks and logins and passwords
• Custom user data such as banners, messages etc.
• SNMP alarming, IP address, and associated admin
• Administration for scheduled cron jobs such as backup
• Authentication, License files and feature bits including customer added users and
custom PAM settings that may have been modified via Root permissions
• LDAP Settings/Configuration if SSH is enabled and other customizations
For all upgrades, other licensing must be considered. Ie Call Center Elite

5. SERVICEABILITY
For the purpose of this document, the Service process starts with customer acceptance
of the product. This occurs after the Provisioning process ends or, for customer-
installed equipment, when the equipment arrives on site. The Service Process ends
when the product is taken out of service or when Avaya no longer supports it.
5.1.
Software Support and Hardware Maintenance
In traditional voice systems, hardware, operating system and features were tightly bonded
– an architecture that resulted in maintenance offers that bundled hardware and software
support into a single combined service. With the advent of IP Telephony and the rapid
migration toward open, “software centric” platforms, customers increasingly want flexible
and straightforward maintenance offers where they can separately choose their desired
level of software and hardware support.
In Avaya’s support structure, software maintenance is available in two offers: Software
Support plus Upgrades (SS+U) and Software Support (SS). Both give customers 24x7
remote technical support for major problems, as well as easy access to all minor releases,
extensive on-line tools and service packs. Software Support plus Upgrades provides the
same entitlements as Software Support, as well as, access to major releases as they
become available. For customers who want to keep their applications on the cutting edge,
Software Support plus Upgrades ensures immediate access to major releases while also
delivering locked-in TCO savings.
Software Support plus Upgrades and Software Support will begin billing on Day 1 for all
applications and for all channels. Time & Material will no longer be available for
software support.
For hardware, there are three simplified offers: Remote Hardware Maintenance, Remote
Hardware Maintenance with Advance Parts Replacement, and On-Site Hardware
Maintenance with a choice of 8x5 or 24x7 Coverage. All offers include Expert Systems
SM
diagnostics and 24x7 remote technical support. The Advance Parts and On-Site offers also
include equipment replacement. Customers requiring fully comprehensive monitoring will
want to combine SS+U with any of the Hardware Maintenance offers.
Additional information on Software Support and Hardware Maintenance is available at
Product & IP Support Product Support Offering
Software Support and Hardware Maintenance.
Available beginning January 2011, Support Advantage becomes the global support
offer for all new Enterprise product sales and product upgrades. It provides 24x7
support for both software and hardware, which helps protect customers’ investments in
enterprise communications from Avaya. The offer has a simple structure with two base
offer choices:
1.
Essential Support (minimum level required)
2.
Preferred Support

Hardware Warranty
Avaya provides a one-year limited warranty on the Avaya Session Manager Appliance
hardware. Refer to the sales agreement or other applicable documentation to establish
the terms of the limited warranty. In addition, Avaya’s standard warranty language as
well as details regarding support, while under warranty, is available through the web

or on the Enterprise Portal at
https://enterpriseportal.avaya.com/ptlWeb/getfile?docID=MzkyNzg3MQ==
Post Warranty Support
Customers may purchase post-warranty software support for the Avaya Session
Manager after the expiration of the initial warranty. The customer may purchase support
coverage in increments of one (1) year with auto-renew upon renewal, with a maximum
contract term of 4 years, limited to 3 years after the product's "last order date." The two
types of Maintenance Service Agreement options are the Self-Maintainer option and
Full Coverage option. The Self Maintainer option includes Remote Support and Parts
plus Remote Support for both 8-5 and 24x7coverage. The Full Coverage option
includes 8-5 and 24x7 coverage in which technician dispatch and Tiers of Support are
included. Applicable uplifts and downlifts are used to determine the appropriate
maintenance price for the offer the customer chooses. These uplifts/downlifts are used
against the default reference rate of 8-5 Full Coverage. If the customer chooses not to
subscribe to post warranty hardware maintenance, then Avaya bills customers for
support on a time and materials basis. Outside the U.S., terms and conditions are
determined locally. See

Product Correction Notices (PCNs)
Product Correction Notice (PCN) and installation support will be provided to all Avaya
Session Manager and System Manager customers. Customers with warranty and post
warranty coverage will typically receive special consideration for the time and material
charges, if applicable, to a specific product and configuration. PCNs are a function of
the life cycle of the products. PCN installations will take place between the hours of
8am to 5pm (local time), Monday through Friday, excluding Avaya recognized holidays.
Special billing consideration will be given to customers who either have an Avaya
Service Agreement or are under warranty, up to but not exceeding an installation absent
of labor and material charges. The determination of PCN charges, if any, will be
determined on a case-by-case basis by Avaya. Customers who are listed as the
technical contact will typically be mailed a letter regarding the PCN notification.
Avaya U.S. Direct Customers: U.S. Field Service Organization (FSO) technicians will
implement this Change Notice for Avaya U.S. Direct Customers. The Emerging
Technologies Solutions Support (ETSS) group and the FSO Change Notice
Administration Groups will handle scheduling and coordination.
Avaya U.S. BP: Avaya Business Partners who elect to perform the work to implement
this Change Notice will be responsible for scheduling and coordinating their customer
base. Those who elect to have Avaya perform the work will schedule and coordinate
through the Emerging Technologies Solutions Support (ETSS) team.
Avaya International: Scheduling of customers requiring a Change Notice will be handled
through the Emerging Technologies Solutions Support (ETSS) team.
When the need arises for Avaya to replace defective components, Avaya Labs will issue
a Product Correction Notice (PCN). The standard PCN process applies for Session
Manager and System Manager. Some components can be upgraded without the need
for a field dispatch.
For a list of active PCNs, go to the Avaya Support Center
(
) and search under Additional Information for Product
Correction Notices.

PLDS Software Download Policy
Warranty or Post-Warranty Maintenance customers will be entitled to free ETSS support
should they encounter problems with PLDS software downloads during normal Avaya
business hours. Customers (regardless of their PWM structure), who require assistance
during non-business ETSS hours, will be billed at prevailing ETSS out-of-hours rates.
A DVD option is now available for Session Manager and System Manager. The DVD is
now the default option in ASD for Session Manager. Customers may also download the
System Manager and Session Manager Software from PLDS. This software must be
kept at the customer site at all times. During remote/onsite installation, troubleshooting
and disaster recovery scenarios the customer will be asked to provide the Software
downloads. If the software is not on site there may be a delay in support. If the customer
would like the technician to download the software, the project manager for the
customer site must fill out a Change Request Management Form (CMRA), where the
customer will be charged $250.00 per hour for the download. Note: The PLDS
download could take several hours and the customer will be charged for the entire time.
The software can be downloaded from the PLDS website and must be placed on a
DVD. More information on PLDS Software downloads can be found at

Remote Access via Secure Access Link Gateway 1.8
Avaya Aura 6.2 Offer Definition
COMPAS ID 154794
Page 47 of 71 Avaya Inc. – Proprietary & Confidential. February 6, 2012
The information contained in this document can not be distributed
or reproduced in whole or in part without express written consent of Avaya Inc.
System Manager provides secure, rapid serviceability and Expert Systems alarming
through Secure Access Link (SAL) to Avaya and participating Business Partners. SAL
uses the customer’s existing Internet connectivity to facilitate remote support. All
communication is outbound from the customer’s environment using encapsulated
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). SAL requires upload bandwidth
(customer to Avaya/Partner) of at least 90 KB/s (720 Kbits/s) with latency no greater
than 150 ms (round trip).
A Secure Access Link 1.8 Gateway will be deployed as part of every System Manager
6.2 via System Platform, and subsequently because every Session Manager 6.2 will be
deployed with a System Manager 6.2, all remote access to a customer’s Session
Manager will be via this SAL Gateway.
Additionally, we can expect that as customers currently running Session Manager 1.1
(supported by System Manager 1.0) migrate to System Manager 6.2, they can move off
of the RSIG and inherit the Secure Access Link capabilities afforded them by System
Manager 6.2 on System Platform. Session Manager 5.2 and 6.0 already utilizes SAL for
remote access. Note – All alarming from Session Manager 5.2 and 6.0 will continue to
use the SAL Enterprise components in System Manager and not the alarming
components of the SAL Gateway.
Business Partners without a SAL Concentrator must provide their own IP-based
connectivity (for example, B2B VPN connection) to deliver remote services.
Important: Business Partners and customers must ensure that SAL is always configured
and registered with Avaya during installation. Avaya support will be delayed or not
possible if SAL is improperly implemented or not operational. Modem connections are
not supported.

APPENDIX A: AVAYA AURA PACKAGING
Avaya Aura
®
Editions
Avaya Aura is easy to purchase and deploy through Avaya Aura Editions: Branch
Edition, Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition. These software Editions bring together
all the functionality needed for common customer situations with a simple per user
licensing fee. Hardware (servers, gateways, and phones) are flexibly purchased in
addition to software licenses and the hardware topology depends on the redundancy,
scalability and geographic distribution needs for each customer. Different elements of
the software may run on separate hardware servers, or some elements may be
combined on the same hardware server. Gateway distribution and configuration will
depend on availability and capacity needs. Avaya and BusinessPartner sales engineers
assist customers in designing the right hardware configurations to meet their business
needs. The software Editions and their functionality remain the same regardless of
hardware choices.
Avaya Aura
®
Standard Edition meets the needs of single-site deployments and mid-
to-large distributed enterprises requiring comprehensive voice, video, messaging, SIP
and Presence communications capabilities with standard survivability at remote
locations. Standard Edition has the option to easily add licensing for enterprise-wide SIP
session management and Unified Communications applications for targeted users,
including Microsoft and IBM UC integration, and mobile worker and teleworker support.
Avaya Aura
®
Enterprise Edition includes everything in Standard Edition and meets
the needs of highly distributed, and potentially multinational, mid-to-very-large
enterprises requiring the same comprehensive communications capabilities with
increased high availability options including 100% feature survivability at remote
locations. Enterprise Edition includes, with no additional licensing, enterprise-wide SIP
session management and Unified Communications applications for all users, including
Microsoft and IBM UC integration, and mobile worker and teleworker support.
All Avaya Aura Editions include appropriate management and administration tools.
Additional Avaya unified communications and contact center solutions, including rich
unified messaging, conferencing and web collaboration, video endpoints and bridges,
speech and video self service, and market-leading inbound and outbound multimedia
contact center applications, can all be incrementally added to Avaya Aura Editions. An
extensive array of certified third-party products is also available through the Avaya
DevConnect ecosystem.
How to Order Avaya Aura Editions
To order Avaya Aura Editions today use the existing material codes for Avaya Aura
Communication Manager Standard 6.0, Avaya Aura Communication Manager
Enterprise 6.0 or Avaya Aura Communication Manager Branch 2.0 adding codes for
each entitlement as appropriate to the Avaya Aura package.

APPENDIX B: GLOSSARY OF TERMS AND ACRONYMNS
Term
Definition
802.1p/Q
IEEE standard 802.1Q and 802.1p provide the means to specify both a virtual
LAN (VLAN) and a frame priority at layer 2 for use by LAN hubs, or bridges,
which can do routing based on MAC addresses. 802.1p/Q provides for 8 levels
of priority (3 bits) and a large number (12 bits) of VLAN identifiers. The VLAN
identifier at layer 2 permits segregation of traffic to reduce traffic on individual
links. Because 802.1p operates at the MAC layer, its presence may vary from
LAN segment to LAN segment within a single network region. Flexibility requires
that 802.1p/Q options be administered individually for each network interface.

DiffServ
Differential Services – a method of specifying service requirements for IP
packets at Layer 3. With the DiffServ option the system administrator can
administer (by region) and download to the TN2302AP the DiffServ Type-of-
Service (TOS) value, thus allowing data networking equipment to prioritize the
audio stream at the IP level to promote voice quality. DiffServ makes use of the
Type-of-Service (TOS) octet in the existing IP Version 4 header. As such, it may
be set by information senders and used by IP (layer 3) routers within the
network.
Use of DiffServ and/or 802.1p priorities would typically apply to either or both
ends of a connection: the TN2302AP interfaces should be configured to use the
appropriate values for the network(s) to which they are attached, and the IP
end-points should be configured to use the values appropriate for the network(s)
to which they are connected. In many cases, the communication devices are
“local” and the values are the same; in other cases, the values may be different.
This can be accommodated by downloading default values to the endpoint to be
used in case the endpoint installer or the user has not provided values.
