About software distribution packages
Important:
For any new software release, download the latest software distribution package and read any
Product Support Notices (PSNs) associated with the new release. Both are available on the
Avaya support site at
www.avaya.com/support.
The software distribution packages contain the following:
• One or more software files.
• One upgrade file such as B189Hupgrade.txt
• All the display text language files. For example, mlf_SB189_v78_korean.txt
• 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.
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Software Update Manager
application.
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.
