Review the release notes and any Read Me files associated with a distribution package.
Ensure that the Settings file is not cached in your browser. To do this, clear the browser
cache before downloading the Settings file from the Avaya support Web site, so that you
don’t get an old version.

• Files av_prca_pem_2033.txt and av_sipca_pem_2027.txt that contain a copy of the Avaya
Product Root Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format that may be downloaded to
phones based on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter.

Note:
Settings files are not included in the software distribution packages because they would
overwrite your existing files and settings.
Two configuration files that are important to understand are as follows:
• The upgrade file, J100Supgrade.txt that tells the phone whether the phone needs to
upgrade software. The phones attempt to read this file whenever they reset. The upgrade
file is also used to point to the Settings file.
