CAUTION:
CAUTION:
Be sure to test the new integration before completing the upgrade.
The need to restore IP Phone files
During an upgrade, any data in the /tftpboot directory is overwritten with new software and
firmware. If the system was using the http or tftp capability for 4600-series phone firmware
downloads and configuration updates, the firmware and 4600-series phone configuration file
are overwritten.
You must retrieve the 46xx firmware (the 46xx .tar file, for example
46xxH323_cm2_2_wi1_15_ipt2_2_111405.tar ) from the Avaya Downloads Web site and
download the 46xx firmware file to the server after the upgrade. However, you can save a copy
of the 46xx configuration file
before the upgrade and copy it back into the /tftpboot directory after
the upgrade. See the following:
●
Saving a copy of the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any on page 641
●
Copying IP Phone firmware to the media server, if necessary on page 667

Restoring the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any on page 668
