What are the new SoundSation2 models 
that replace the SoundStation Premier
®
 
500D/550D? 
Two new models are now available: 
SoundStation2 Direct Connect for Nortel 
PBXs and SoundStation2 Avaya 2490 for 
Avaya DEFINITY PBXs. 
 
These conference phones are the latest 
addition to the SoundStation2 family. They 
allow customers to connect the 
conference phone directly to a digital PBX 
line without the need for additional PBX 
adapters or for running a special analog 
line into the conference room. 
 
Note: The SoundStation2 Direct Connect / 
SoundStation2 Avaya can not be 
connected to a regular analog telephone 
(POTS) line. 
 
What PBXs is the SoundStation2 Avaya 
compatible with? 
The SoundStation2 Direct Connect works 
with Avaya DEFINITY PBX systems. 
 
Are other PBX integrations also 
supported? 
Other PBX vendors are not supported at 
this time. 
 
Is there a difference in audio performance 
between the SoundStation2 Avaya and 
the regular SoundStation2? 
No, you can expect the same great audio 
performance which is ideally suited for 
medium/small conference rooms and 
offices. 
 
 
 
Is the SoundStation2 Avaya 2490 
equivalent to the SoundStation Premier 
500D / 550D for Avaya? 
Whereas the PBX connectivity options 
are exactly the same, the SoundStation2 
offers a number of exciting 
enhancements over the SoundStation 
Premier 500D/550D models, including a 
backlit LCD for productivity enhancing 
applications. It also enables new ways of 
using your conference phone like 
computer calling and mobile phone call 
enhancement. 
 
In addition, the user interface of 
SoundStation2 Avaya supports seven 
different languages: English, German, 
French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and 
Norwegian. 
 
Can a digital PBX port be shared 
between a digital desktop telephone and 
a SoundStation2 Avaya?

SoundStation2 to the PBX port, simply 
plug in a digital telephone into the 
marked jack on the new SoundStation2 
interface module. 
 
Is the SoundStation2 Avaya available in 
both expandable and non-expandable 
versions? 
No, only a single expandable model is 
available i.e. all models can accept 
optional extension microphones to 
increase the microphone coverage. 
 
Does the SoundStation2 Avaya ship with 
extension microphones?

optional accessory and need to be 
purchased separately.
