Chapter 3: Administration
Administration overview
Administration of a media station is similar to that done on the Avaya 9600 series IP deskphones.
The media stations consume upgrade files, settings files, and firmware files hosted on HTTP or
HTTPS Web servers. Both Avaya Aura
®
and IP Office 9.1 have Web servers that provide this
service automatically.
Supporting documentation
Because the administration of a media station is similar to that done with 9600 series IP
deskphones, use the following documents if you need more details about administering IP

Downloading support files
With the media station product, you can download the following support files from the Avaya support
site,
http://support.avaya.com
:
• Upgrade script file template
• Settings file template
• Current firmware update file
Use the template files to set your administration parameters for the media station.
Upgrade script file
When shipped from the factory, the media station might not contain the latest firmware. When you
plug in the media station the first time, it attempts to contact an HTTP file server so that it can
download the latest version of firmware.
Use the upgrade script file to identify the location of the firmware file for doing a firmware update.
When you receive a new version of firmware from Avaya, put the firmware on the HTTP file server
and the media station updates automatically.
In addition to putting the file on the HTTP file server, you can also set the Alternative Provisioning
URL option on the app. The Alternative Provisioning URL directs the app to find the upgrade file at a
different location.
