Changing the signaling protocol

For enterprises requiring both H.323- and SIP-based protocols, there are two ways to specify
the protocol to be used by all or specific deskphones:
1. The SIG parameter can be set in DHCP Option 242 (Site-Specific Option Number) or in the
46xxsettings.txt file. This setting will apply to all Deskphones except those for which SIG
has been manually configured to a value of H.323 or SIP using the SIG Craft procedure.
2. The SIG parameter can be set on a per-deskphone basis using the SIG Craft procedure as
described in Installing and Maintaining Avaya 9601/9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G IP
Deskphones SIP.

About the upgrade file

The upgrade file specifies whether the deskphone needs to upgrade the software or not. The
upgrade file is either H.323-specific(96x1Hupgrade.txt) or SIP-specific (96x1Supgrade.txt).
Do not alter the upgrade file and use the 46xxsettings.txt file to customize your settings instead.
