Avaya SBM24 Button Expansion Module (700383417, 700426737, 700462518)

The Avaya SBM24 Button Module is a valuable accessory designed to enhance the functionality of compatible Avaya 9600 series IP telephones. This module effectively expands the number of call appearances and feature buttons on the phone, providing users with 24 additional lines for various purposes such as handling incoming and outgoing calls, speed-dialing, and accessing calling features.

One of the key benefits of the Avaya SBM24 is its seamless integration with Avaya 9600 series IP telephones, offering 24 programmable line and feature buttons that can be customized according to the user's preferences. Moreover, the module eliminates the need for a separate power supply, simplifying its installation and reducing clutter.

The Avaya SBM24 is highly versatile and compatible with different versions of Avaya's communication systems. For IP Office versions 6.0 to 8.1, it can be used with Avaya 9630, 9630G, 9640, 9640G, 9650, and 9650C IP telephones. For IP Office version 9.0 or higher, it is compatible with Avaya 9608, 9608G, 9611G, 9630, 9630G, 9640, 9640G, 9641G, 9650, and 9650C IP telephones.

Additionally, users can add up to three SBM24 modules per phone, allowing them to expand their call handling capacity as needed. On IP Office systems, it is possible to add up to 42 SBM24 modules per system, providing considerable scalability for larger environments.

However, it is essential to note that using more than one SBM24 module will change the power class of the phone to Class 3. As a result, organizations should consider their power requirements when deploying multiple modules. Avaya Communication Manager versions below R4.0 support a single SBM24 module per phone, making it suitable for older setups with this specific configuration.
