The Avaya IX Enhanced Security IP Phone J179 addresses the need for everyday voice communications. It is an 8-line phone ideally suited for medium/high volume power users such as professionals, knowledge workers, salespeople, call center who consider the phone to be one of many useful communication tools and who rely on the full range of telephony, productivity, collaboration features like directory and speed dial and so on. Government agencies and contractors often need to discuss classified information in full confidence that telephones will not be overheard or intercepted.
The TSG Certified J179 IP phone is a modified version that connects to your network like any other J179. The difference is the addition of Positive Disconnect On-Hook Security. The phone also allows the on-hook security features to be engaged while in a call providing "Hold" and "Mute" security.
Special positive-disconnect circuitry and ultra-low-emissions technology ensure that no audio signals from the microphone are produced on any wires leaving the phone when it is on-hook.
When Power over Ethernet is not available, the phone can be plugged into a local supply that provides filtered operating power via the phone's barrel connector.
Speakerphone functionality is enabled on the device and is protected with the on-hook security of the positive disconnect electronics but can be administratively disabled via the Avaya Aura Communication Manager.
