• 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 such a statement does
not exist, 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 the following parameters in a conditional
statement: GROUP, MACADDR, MODEL, MODEL4, VPNACTIVE and SIG_IN_USE.
• SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. The system ignores any invalid
values for the associated parameter_name so the default or previously administered value is
retained. All values must be text strings, even if the value itself is numeric or a dotted decimal
IP Address.
• Comments, which are statements with a pound (#) character in the first column.
Note:
Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
• GET commands, of the form GET filename . If the phone downloads the file named as
filename, the phone interprets the file as an additional settings file and does not interpret
additional lines in the original file. If the phone cannot obtain the file, the telephone continues
to interpret the original file.
The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes lines that direct the phone to GET 46xxsettings.txt
and 46xxsettings.scr.
These lines cause the phone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to download the file specified in the
GET command. If the phone obtains the file, its contents are interpreted as an additional script file.
If the file cannot be obtained, the phone continues processing the upgrade script file.
The phone processes the upgrade script file so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the phone
looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the phone obtains the settings file successfully but does not
include any setting changes the phone stops using HTTP. This process happens when you initially
download the script file template from the Avaya Support website, before you make any changes.
When the settings file contains no setting changes, the phone does not go back to the upgrade
script file.
You can customize the settings file and identify non-default option settings, application-specific
parameters, and other settings. You can download a template for this file from the
Avaya Support
website.
