Avaya 9608 - Downloading Software Packages

• A file named av_prca_pem_2033.txt that contains a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format. You can downloaded this file to the phones
based on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter.
• Updated MIB file.
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Software Update Manager application.
The Zip distribution packages includes a signatures directory. The signatures directory contains
SHA-1 and SHA-2 signature files, and a certificate file for the Utility server.
Note:
When you download the application file from the Avaya support Web site, ensure you are
downloading the correct version. One version enables VPN and media encryption
functionality, while the other disables those functions.
Note:
Settings files are not included in the software distribution packages because the files overwrite
the existing file and settings.
Two configuration files are:
• The upgrade file, that notifies the phone to upgrade software. The phone attempts to read
this file after a reset. The upgrade file also contains directions to the settings file.
• The settings file contains the option settings that enable, disable, or otherwise customize the
settings you might need to tailor the Avaya IP phones for your enterprise.
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP deskphones.
The H.323 9600 Series IP Deskphones Sonic deskphones with hardware version lesser than 3
support SHA-2 image signatures only and therefore any upgrade from pre R6.6.1 to R 6.6.2 will be
done automatically. The H.323 9600 Series IP Deskphones Sonic deskphones with hardware
version greater than 3 support only R6.6.2 and above.

Downloading software packages
You can use the upgrade file and the application files included in the Software Distribution
Package that Avaya provides to upgrade the phones. Do not modify the upgrade files. You must
save all the essential files on your file server. When you download a new release onto a file server
that has an existing release:
1. Stop the file server.
2. Administer the required port setting in HTTPPORT or TLSPORT for HTTP or TLS,
respectively if you want to specify a port the phones must use to communicate with the file
server.
