Using the upgrade file
The upgrade file indicates to the phone whether it needs to upgrade software. From Release 6.0
onwards, the upgrade file is either H.323-specific or SIP-specific. The deskphones read this file
whenever the deskphone is reset. The upgrade script file also directs the phone to the settings file.
Avaya recommends that you do not alter the upgrade script file because if Avaya changes the
upgrade script file in the future, any changes you have made will be lost. Avaya recommends that
you use the 46xxsettings.txt file to customize your settings instead. However, you can change the
settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding GET command in the
upgrade script file.

About the settings file
The settings file contains the option settings you need to customize the Avaya IP deskphones for
your enterprise.
Note:
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP deskphones.
The settings file can include any of six types of statements, one on each line:
• Tag lines that begin with a single # (pound) character, followed by a single space character,
followed by a text string with no spaces.
• Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the phone to continue
interpreting the settings file at the next line after a #tag statement. If no such statement
exists, the rest of the settings file is ignored.
• Conditionals, of the form IF $parameter_name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals
cause the Goto command to be processed if the value of the parameter named
parameter_name exactly matches string. If no such parameter named parameter_name
exists, the entire conditional is ignored. You can use only the following parameters in a
conditional statement are: GROUP, MACADDR, MODEL, MODEL4, VPNACTIVE and
SIG_IN_USE.
