The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes lines that direct the phone to
GET 46xxsettings.txt
and
46xxsettings.scr
.
These lines cause the phone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to download the file specified in the
GET
command. If the phone obtains the file, its contents are interpreted as an additional script file.
If the file cannot be obtained, the phone continues processing the upgrade script file.
The phone processes the upgrade script file so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the phone
looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the phone obtains the settings file successfully but does not
include any setting changes the phone stops using HTTP. This process happens when you initially
download the script file template from the Avaya Support website, before you make any changes.
When the settings file contains no setting changes, the phone does not go back to the upgrade
script file.
You can customize the settings file and identify non-default option settings, application-specific
parameters, and other settings. You can download a template for this file from the
.
Specify settings that are different from default values, although you can also specify default
values.
46xxsettings parameters retained during reboot
During a reboot, if the deskphone is unable to access the
46xxsettings
file, it does not retain
the values of all the parameters. To identify whether the parameter is retained or not retained, see
the table below.
Downloading text language files
About this task
You must save the language files used for text entry and display purposes in the same location as
the 46xxsettings file or in the HTTP Server directory. The HTTP Server directory is defined using
the
SET HTTPDIR HTTP
server directory path command.
You can download a new language file version only if the filename differs from the language file
previously downloaded. Alternately, you can remove the old language file using an empty
SET
LANGxFILE
command in the 46xxsettings file before downloading a language file with the same
filename.
