Note:
The alternate 96xxupgrade.txt script file relies on the SIG setting as set in the
local administrative (Craft)

procedure being set to

“H.323” for those telephones destined to have H.323 firmware loads.

parameter settings and values that customize the telephones for your enterprise. One
settings file is used for all your Avaya IP Telephones.
●
Application files for all current 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones.
●
Other useful information such as a ReadMe file.
In addition to the upgrade script, application files and Read Me file you need the latest binary
code the Avaya SIP IP Telephones use, which is part of the software bundle you choose for
your site. All these files are in a self-extracting executable file that comes in both zipped and
unzipped format.
When the majority of your IP telephones are SIP-based, select the software bundle identified as
“SIP” from the Web site. The application files in this SIP software bundle are the same as in the
H.323 bundle. The difference is a modified upgrade script file that assumes SIP is the default
protocol for your 9600 Series IP Telephones, and that H.323 is the exception. For more
information on SIP-centric environments, see

Download Procedure
The Avaya-provided upgrade script files and the binaries included in the zip files upgrade the
Avaya IP Telephones. You should not need to modify them. It is essential that all the binary files
be together on the file server. When downloading a new release onto a file server with an
existing release already on it, we recommend that you:
●
Stop the file server.
●
Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
●
Copy your
46xxsettings.txt
file
to a backup location.
●
Remove all the files in the download directory. This ensures that you do not have an
inappropriate binary or configuration file on the server. The only system values that can be
used in the Conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP, and SIG.
●
Download the self-extracting executable file, or the corresponding zip file.
●
Extract all the files.
●
Copy your
46xxsettings.txt
file back into the download directory.
●
Check the Readme files for release-specific information.
●
Modify the
46xxsettings.txt
file as desired.

Restart the HTTP/HTTPS server.
