New in IP Office Release 12.0

Last Updated : Aug 13, 2025 |
Prolog information
The following changes apply for IP Office R12.0:
  • Change of Linux Operating System
    The version of Linux used by Linux-based IP Office servers has changed from CentOS to Rocky Linux.
    • The new Linux used is supported on 64-bit servers only.
    • Booting from UEFI and BIOS is supported. Avaya recommends using UEFI where possible.
    Warning:
  • Display of Web Management Version
    For Linux-based IP Office systems, the Control Unit details shown in IP Office Manager now include details for the web management service.
  • End of Support
    The following are no longer supported:
    • Web Collaboration
    • Unified Communications Module (UCM)
      The UCM uses a 32-bit processor and so is not supported by IP Office R12.0 and higher. Existing systems using a UCM must migrate to an IP Office Application Server.
