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 phone 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 phone will continue to interpret the original file.
The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes a line that tells the phones to
GET 46xxsettings.txt
.
This line cause the phone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to download the file specified in the
GET
command. If the file is obtained, its contents are interpreted as an additional script file. That
is how your settings are changed from the default settings. If the file cannot be obtained, the
phone continues processing the upgrade script file. Also, if the settings file is successfully
obtained but this does not change any settings, the phone continues to use HTTP.
The settings file is under your control and is where you can identify non-default option settings,
application-specific parameters, etc. You can download a template for this file from the Avaya
support Web site.
During a reboot, if the phone is unable to access the settings file, it does not retain the values of
all the parameters. For more information on which parameter value is retained, see the following
table.
