additional settings file, and no additional lines will be interpreted in the original file. If the
file cannot be obtained, the telephone will continue to interpret the original file.
The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes lines that tell the telephone to GET 46xxsettings.scr
and 46xxsettings.txt. These lines cause the telephone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to
download the file specified in the GET command. If the file is obtained, its contents are
interpreted as an additional script file. That is how your settings are changed from the default
settings. If the file cannot be obtained, the telephone continues processing the upgrade script
file. The upgrade script file is processed so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the telephone
looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the settings file is successfully obtained but does not include
any setting changes the telephone stops using HTTP. This happens when you initially download
the script file template from the Avaya support Web site, before you make any changes. When
the settings file contains no setting changes, the telephone does not go back to the upgrade
script file.
The settings file is under your control and is where you can identify non-default option settings,
application-specific parameters, etc. You can download a template for this file from the Avaya
support Web site. See Chapter 7 in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone H.323 Administrator Guide
for details about specific parameter values. You need only specify settings that vary from
defaults, although specifying defaults is harmless.
Downloading Text Language Files
Language files that will be used for text entry and display purposes must be stored in the same
location as the 46xxsettings file or under the HTTP Server directory, defined using the SET
HTTPDIR_HTTP server directory path command.
You can download a new language file version only if the filename differs from the language file
previously downloaded. Alternately, you can remove the old language file using an empty SET
LANGxFILE command in the 46xxsettings file before downloading a language file with the
same filename.
Changing the Signaling Protocol
For enterprises requiring both H.323- and SIP-based protocols, there are two ways to specify
the protocol to be used by all or specific deskphones:
1. As of Release 6.0, the SIG parameter can be set in DHCP Option 242 (Site-Specific Option
Number) or in the 46xxsettings.txt file. This setting will apply to all telephones except those
for which SIG has been manually configured to a value of H.323 or SIP using the SIG Craft
procedure.
2. The SIG parameter can be set on a per-phone basis using the SIG Craft procedure as
described in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone H.323 Installation and Maintenance Guide.
