Can you connect a Cisco IP phone 7960 to an Avaya G3 R2.2?

Will this work?

I don't believe this version... But marketing materials I've seen for future releases (maybe 3.0) is AVAYA is moving towards standards based end-points. Thus, as long as a end-point is a support standard, you'll be able to connect it. But we're probably a few years off.

I know someone who claims to have done this successfully.. on 2.1.1

Thanks for the replies. This is just something I was curious about. I have a few of these in the box at my office and I wanted to see if they would work. Thanks guys.

The older Cisco 7905s can use H.323 (I think the ones before revision "G"), but the 7960s would be tough to get on the current version of Avaya comm manager.

7960s support SIP, SCCP, and MGCP, but not H.323.

You could hang the 7960s off of an Asterisk server, and connect Asterisk to your Avaya system via a SIP trunk (but you'll need to check your sys cust page, "Maximum Administered SIP Trunks: " and make sure it is set to >0)...

I imagine that's more hassle than you're looking for.
