This chapter describes various software update procedures.
30.1 Loading Auxiliary Files
Various Auxiliary files can be installed on the device. These Auxiliary files provide the
device with additional configuration settings. The table below lists the different types of
Auxiliary files:
Table 30-1: Auxiliary Files
File Description
INI Configures the device. The Web interface enables practically full device
provisioning. However, some features may only be configured by ini file or you
may wish to configure your device using the ini file. For more information on the
ini file, see ''INI File-Based Management'' on page 79.
Call Progress
Tones
Region-specific, telephone exchange-dependent file that contains the Call
Progress Tones (CPT) levels and frequencies for the device. The default CPT
file is U.S.A. For more information, see ''Call Progress Tones File'' on page 430.
Prerecorded
Tones
The Prerecorded Tones (PRT) file enhances the device's capabilities of playing
a wide range of telephone exchange tones that cannot be defined in the CPT
file. For more information, see ''Prerecorded Tones File'' on page 433.
Dial Plan Provides dialing plans, for example, for obtaining the destination IP address for
outbound IP routing. For more information, see ''Dial Plan File'' on page 433.
User Info The User Information file maps PBX extensions to IP numbers. This file can be
used to represent PBX extensions as IP phones in the global 'IP world'. For
more information, see ''User Information File'' on page 436.
The Auxiliary files can be loaded to the device using one of the following methods:
Web interface.
TFTP: This is done by specifying the name of the Auxiliary file in an ini file (see
Auxiliary and Configuration Files Parameters) and then loading the ini file to the
device. The Auxiliary files listed in the ini file are then automatically loaded through
TFTP during device startup. If the ini file does not contain a specific auxiliary file type,
the device uses the last auxiliary file of that type that was stored on its non-volatile
memory.
Notes:
• You can schedule automatic loading of updated auxiliary files using HTTP/HTTPS.
For more information on automatic updates, see Automatic Update Mechanism.
• When loading an ini file using this Web page, parameters that are excluded from
the loaded ini file retain their current settings (incremental).
• Saving an auxiliary file to flash memory may disrupt traffic on the device. To avoid
this, disable all traffic on the device by performing a graceful lock as described in
''Locking and Unlocking the Device'' on page 423.
• For deleting auxiliary files, see ''Viewing Device Information'' on page 473.
