The phone queries the file server, which, transmits a 96x1Supgrade.txt file (SIP protocol) or
96x1Hupgrade.txt file (H.323 protocol) to the deskphone based on the SIG parameter setting. The
software files that the deskphone must use depend on the instructions in the upgrade file.
The following HTTP servers support upgrade and downgrade when FIPS is enabled on the phone.
• Apache
• IIS6
• IIS7.5
• IIS8
• Utility Server
Important:
The MV_IPTEL server does not support upgrade or downgrade when FIPS is enabled on the
phone.
The 9600 Series IP deskphones then downloads a 46xxsettings.txt file. The settings file contains
options that you have administered for any or all the phones in your network. For more information
about the settings file, see About the settings file on page 67. After downloading the settings file,
the phone downloads the language or the certificate files and then any new software files that the
settings require.

Software files needed to operate the 9600 Series IP Deskphones are packaged together in either
a Zip format or RPM/Tar format distribution package. Download the package appropriate to your
operating environment to your file server from the Avaya Support website.
The choice of the package depends on the protocol you are using, H.323 or SIP, for all or the
majority of your phones.
H.323 software distribution packages contain:
• One upgrade file
• All of the display text language files
• A file named av_prca_pem_2033.txt that contains a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format that may be downloaded to telephones based
on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Utility Server.
Release 6.0 and later software distribution packages in Zip format also contain a signatures
directory containing signature files and a certificate file to be used by the Avaya file server
