Avaya 1230 - SSH and Secure File Transfer

Deskphone falls back into a state where connection attempts are tried periodically based on
random, but increasing time periods, in order to give the server adequate time to recover.
SSH and secure file transfer
The Secure Shell Handler (SSH) is a widely-used protocol for providing secure logon access to run
commands remotely. To establish a connection, you must access the SSH-capable client, and know
the user name and password that is configured on the IP Deskphone through the use of the
provisioning system.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) lets the administrator securely log on to the IP Deskphone
(using the common user name and password shared with SSH/PDT). After you logon, the IP
Deskphone displays a list of files on the flash file that you can transfer.
