Avaya 9600 Series Installing And Administering

Chapter 8: Phone upgrade
Device upgrade process
The upgrade event is logged under NOTICES level in the Syslog file. During boot up, the 9600
Series IP Deskphones performs the following tasks:
1. The phone receives the file server address from DHCP, LLDP, or the device interface.
2. The phone connects to the file server and searches for the upgrade file depending on the
SIG parameter value.
• 0: Default, 96x1Supgrade.txt
• 1: H.323, 96x1Hupgrade.txt
• 2: SIP, 96x1Supgrade.txt
3. The phone compares its software version with the version specified in the upgrade file.
• For Sonic and other hardware phones, HWVER value is also checked when the
MODEL4 match is found.
4. The phone then downloads the upgrade file for parsing. The parameter
UPGRADE_FILE_EXECUTION_STATUS is updated with the following values upon
parsing:
• 0: Upgrade file is downloaded and parsed.
• 1: Upgrade file is downloaded but not parsed.
• 2: Upgrade file is not downloaded and not parsed.
5. The upgrade gets triggered depending on the parameter
UPGRADE_FILE_EXECUTION_STATUS value.
6. The phone starts downloading files depending on the parameter APPNAME value
contained in the upgrade file.
Tip:
The software files contain three binaries BootA, BootB, and System RFS. Each binary
contains a version number and a signature header which is processed in sequence
and is stored in the appropriate flash memory location.
7. The phone downloads the software files and upgrades itself if no fatal error occurs.
