(3CX) Provisioning an Avaya J-Series Phone
Registers a physical Avaya J-Series desk phone to a 3CX extension for use with CCaaS, either through the phone's keypad or its web GUI.
An Avaya J-Series phone registers to 3CX by entering the same set of SIP fields directly on the device — either using the phone's own keypad, or through its web GUI once the phone's IP address is known.
Preparing the Extension in 3CX
Before retrieving the phone's registration credentials, two extension-level settings need to be confirmed.
- In the 3CX portal, navigate to

Configuring SIP Settings in the Web GUI
The same fields configured on the keypad are available in the web GUI's SIP section, typed or toggled directly rather than entered via the dial pad: SIP Domain, Registration Policy, Failback Policy, SIP Proxy Policy, the User ID Field toggle, and the resolved IP address under SIP Proxy List.
Registration Interval
