Normally you can find sections for configuring extensions for SIP softphones like X-lite. You can also google the term Avaya IP office SIP extension for more info. Once you have these extensions configured, you need to obtain the SIP credentials for these extensions. The following is a setup guide from Avaya support (Avaya IP Office SIP Extension), in which it explains how to gather your SIP credentials.

Avaya SES depends on the Avaya switch or PBX system you have, it may or may not support IP extensions (SIP) directly. However, Avaya offers a product called "SIP Enablement Service", aka, SES, which enables its products to use any SIP based hardware and software, including Voicent software.
