Power specifications versus checkers

Last Updated : Jun 08, 2026 |

Avaya J100 Series IP Phones can be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or a 5V DC adapter. You must purchase the various power adapters separately. Compare conditions versus checkers.

Avaya J100 Series IP Phones are ENERGY STAR® compliant.

Important:

  • Avaya J129 IP Phone, Avaya J159 IP Phone, Avaya J179 IP Phone, and Avaya J189 IP Phone support the wireless module.

  • Avaya J139 IP Phone is a Class 1 device and does not support peripherals.

  • Avaya J159 IP Phone and Avaya J189 IP Phone support an USB device.

  • Avaya J169 IP Phone supports three JBM24 Button Modules or two Avaya J100 Expansion Modules on PoE. For additional button modules, use 5V DC power adapter.

  • Avaya J179 IP Phone supports two JBM24 Button Modules or one Avaya J100 Expansion Module on PoE. For additional button modules, use 5V DC power adapter.
    Note:

    The simultaneous connection of JBM24 Button Module and Avaya J100 Expansion Module is not supported.

  • Avaya J189 IP Phone supports two Avaya J100 Expansion Modules, set the sideswitch to H on PoE or use a 5V adapter.
    Note:

    The connection of JBM24 Button Module is not supported.

  • If you are using a power adapter, disable PoE on the Ethernet connection.
