You can download a default upgrade file from http://www.avaya.com/support. This file allows the
deskphone to use default settings for customer-definable options. Of course, these settings can also be
changed with DHCP or in some cases, from the deskphone's dialpad itself. However, you might want to
open the default file and administer the options to add useful functionality to your Avaya IP
deskphones. This file must reside in the same directory as the upgrade file, and must be called
46xxsettings.txt.

Contents of the settings file

The settings file can include any of the six types of statements, one per line:
Tags, which are lines that begin with a single "#" character, followed by a single space character,
●
followed by a text string with no spaces.
Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the deskphone to continue
●
interpreting the settings file at the next line after a # tag statement. If no such statement exists,
the rest of the settings file is ignored.
Conditionals, of the form IF $parameter_name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals cause the
●
Goto command to be processed if the value of the parameter named parameter_name exactly
matches string. If no such parameter named parameter_name exists, the entire conditional is
ignored. The only parameters that can be used in a conditional statement are: GROUP,
MACADDR, MODEL and MODEL4.
SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. Invalid values cause the specified
●
value to be ignored for the associated parameter_name so the default or previously
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 deskphone 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 deskphone will continue to interpret the original file.
The Avaya-provided upgrade file includes a line that tells the deskphones to GET 46xxsettings.txt.
This line cause the deskphone to use HTTP/HTTPS to attempt to download the file specified in the GET
