Note:
The H.323 software Release 6.0 upgrade script file is not the same upgrade script file used
for the 9600 series IP deskphones running software Release 3.1.
Note:
When you download the application file from the Avaya support Web site, ensure you are
downloading the correct version. One version enables VPN and media encryption
functionality, while the other disables those functions.
Note:
Settings files are not included in the software distribution packages because the files
overwrite the existing file and settings.
Two configuration files are:
• The upgrade file, that notifies the deskphone to upgrade software. The deskphone
attempts to read this file after a reset. The upgrade file also contains directions to the
settings file.
• The settings file contains the option settings that enable, disable, or otherwise customize
the settings you might need to tailor the Avaya IP deskphones for your enterprise.
Note:
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP deskphones including the 9600
Series IP deskphones covered in this document and in the
Administering Avaya IP
Deskphone H.323 9608, 9611G, 9621G, and 9641G
, and 4600 Series IP deskphones,
as covered in the
4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator Guide
, 555-233-507.
Downloading software packages
You can use the upgrade file and the application files included in the Software Distribution
Package that Avaya provides to upgrade the deskphones. Do not modify the upgrade files.
You must save all the essential files on your file server. When you download a new release
onto a file server that has an existing release:
1. Stop the file server.
2. Administer the required port setting in HTTPPORT or TLSPORT for HTTP or TLS,
respectively if you want to specify a port the deskphones must use to communicate
with the file server.
3. Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
