6. Download the self-extracting executable file, or the corresponding zip file.
7. Extract all the files.
8. Copy your
46xxsettings.txt
file back into the download directory.
9. Check the Readme file for release-specific information.
10. Modify the
46xxsettings.txt
file as desired.
11. Restart the HTTP/HTTPS server.
12. Reset your Avaya IP deskphones.
You can download a default upgrade file from
http://www.avaya.com/support
. This file allows the
deskphone to use default settings for customer-definable options. Of course, these settings can also be
changed with DHCP or in some cases, from the deskphone’s dialpad itself. However, you might want to
open the default file and administer the options to add useful functionality to your Avaya IP
deskphones. This file must reside in the same directory as the upgrade file, and must be called
46xxsettings.txt
.
Contents of the settings file
The settings file can include any of the six types of statements, one per line:
●
Tags, which are lines that begin with a single "#" character, followed by a single space character,
followed by a text string with no spaces.
●
Goto
commands, of the form
GOTO tag.
Goto
commands cause the deskphone to continue
interpreting the settings file at the next line after a
# tag
statement. If no such statement exists,
the rest of the settings file is ignored.
●
Conditionals, of the form
IF
$parameter_name
SEQ
string
GOTO
tag
. Conditionals cause the
Goto
command to be processed if the value of the parameter named
parameter_name
exactly
matches
string
. If no such parameter named
parameter_name
exists, the entire conditional is
ignored. The only parameters that can be used in a conditional statement are: GROUP,
MACADDR, MODEL and MODEL4.
●
SET
commands, of the form
SET
parameter_name value
. Invalid values cause the specified
value to be ignored for the associated
parameter_name
so the default or previously
administered value is retained. All values must be text strings, if the value itself is numeric, you
must place the numeric value inside a pair of quotation marks. For example, "192.x.y.z"
●
Comments, which are statements with characters “
##
” in the first column.
●
GET commands, of the form
GET filename.
The deskphone attempts to download the file
named by
filename
, and if it is successfully obtained, it will be interpreted as an additional
settings file, and no additional lines will be interpreted in the original file. If the file cannot be
obtained, the deskphone will continue to interpret the original file.
The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes a line that tells the deskphones to
GET
46xxsettings.txt
.
This line cause the deskphone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to download the file specified in the
GET
