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.
3. Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
4. Copy the 46xxsettings.txt file to a backup location.
5. Remove all the files in the download directory. This ensures that you do not have
an inappropriate binary or configuration file on the server. The only system values
that can be used in the Conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP,
MACADDR, and MODEL.
6. Download the self-extracting executable file or the corresponding zip file.
7. Extract all the files.
8. Copy the 46xxsettings.txt file back into the download directory.
9. Check the Readme file for release-specific information.
10. Modify the 46xxsettings.txt file as required.
11. Restart the HTTP server.
12. Reset your phones.
You can download the default upgrade file from
http://www.avaya.com/support. With this file,
the phone uses default settings for customer-definable options.
You might want to open the default file and administer the options to add useful functionality
to your Avaya IP phones. Ensure that the file resides in the same directory as the upgrade file,
and name the file as 46xxsettings.scr or 46xxsetting.txt. The Avaya IP phones can operate
without this file.
