Table 10: Settings File System Parameters That Can Be Tested in an IF Statement
The 16xxupgrade.txt files distributed by Avaya start with a GOTO GETSET command based
on the value of the SIG parameter to preclude loading SIP software into a phone that has been
manually designated to run H.323 software (indicated by a SIG value of 1), and to preclude
loading H.323 software into a phone that has been manually designated to run SIP software
(indicated by a SIG value of 2). The default SIG value of zero indicates that the telephone
should download whatever software is available.
The 16xxupgrade.txt files distributed by Avaya end with the statement GET 46xxsettings.txt.
If you need to redefine the values of any parameters for your installation, do so in the
46xxsettings.txt file and not in the 16xxupgrade.txt file. The reason for using the
46xxsettings.txt file is because each new Avaya release you download will include a new
version of 16xxupgrade.txt, which will overwrite any changes you have made to your previous
copy of that file.
Avaya recommends that you do not alter the 16xxupgrade.txt file. If Avaya changes the
16xxupgrade.txt file in the future, any changes you have made will be lost. Avaya recommends
that you use the 46xxsettings file to customize your settings instead. However, you can change
the settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding GET command in
the 16xxupgrade.txt file.
For more information on customizing your settings file, see Contents of the Settings File
.

The final step in processing the 16xxupgrade.txt file is to GET the 46xxsettings.txt file. The
default 46xxsettings.txt file contains explanatory material and default values on lines that start
with ##. A parameter value can be changed and actioned by changing its value and removing
the two ##'s at the beginning of the line.
