File server configuration
A file server is an HTTP or HTTPS server that is used for downloading and storing software
distribution packages, setting files, and other files required for Avaya Vantage
™
devices.
When Avaya Vantage
™
starts or restarts, it checks for software updates and settings files on the
specified file servers.
You can provide file server addresses using one of the following methods:
• DHCP
• LLDP
• The Settings menu on the Avaya Vantage
™
device
• 46xxsettings.txt settings file
For DHCP and the settings file, use the FILE_SERVER_URL parameter to assign the file server
address. For LLDP, you can specify the file server address in the file server TLV.
You can also specify the file server address using the following parameters:
• HTTPSRVR, HTTPDIR and HTTPPORT parameters for an HTTP server.
• TLSSRVR, TLSDIR and TLSPORT parameters for an HTTPS server.
If the FILE_SERVER_URL parameter is defined, Avaya Vantage
™
ignores all other parameters.
In the IP Office environment, Avaya Vantage
™
requires an external HTTP or HTTPS file server for
hosting and downloading software distribution packages. Avaya Vantage
™
can accept settings
files, including auto-generated settings files, from the IP Office system as a file server, but the IP
Office system always redirects the request for firmware files to the configured HTTP server IP
address on the IP Office system. For more information about setting up the file server in the IP
Office environment, see Avaya IP Office
™
Platform SIP Telephone Installation Notes.
