The settings file can include any of 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 file at the next line after a # tag statement. If no such statement
exists, the rest of the 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. In
pre-6.0 SIP software releases, BOOTNAME and SIG could also be used. In SIP software
release 6.0 and later, SIG_IN_USE can also be used.
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, even if the
value itself is numeric, a dotted decimal IP Address, and so on.
Comments, which are any lines that do not conform to any of the previously described
●
types of statements, including lines that begin with more than one "#" character.
Note:
Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
Note:
GET commands, of the form GET filename. The deskphone will attempt 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.
Download the 46xxsettings.txt template file from support.avaya.com and edit it to add your own
custom settings. See
values. You need only specify settings that vary from defaults, although specifying defaults is
harmless.
Any line which does not match one of the previous statement types is ignored and, therefore,
can be treated as a comment. By convention, in the upgrade and settings files distributed by
Avaya, any line intended to be ignored by the deskphone or read as a comment starts with "##".
