Language Support - SIP telephones support the same languages as H.323 telephones, with the exception of Hebrew. SIP does not support Hebrew or the English Large Text Font for any language. Further, all SIP language files have .xml file extensions whereas H.323 language files have .txt file extensions.

SNMP & MIBs - Although both SIP and H.323 telephones support SNMP v2c and have custom Management Information Bases (MIBs), the MIBs are formatted somewhat differently.

RSVP & VMON (VMM) - 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not use RSVP (Resource ReSerVation Protocol) software to provide real-time monitoring and historical data of audio quality for VoIP calls. 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do support Avaya Voice over IP (VoIP) Monitoring Manager (VMON, now called VMM). 9600 Series IP Telephones use both RSVP and VMON.

QoS - Unlike H.323 telephones, 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not use Avaya Communication Manager to set Quality of Service (QoS). The SIP IP telephones use the parameters L2QAUD, L2QSIG, DSCPAUD, and DSCPSIG (described in Table 11: 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System Parameters).

NAT - 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones do not support Network Address Translation (NAT); 9600 Series IP (H.323) Telephones do support NAT.
