is set to null at manufacture and at any other time that user-specific data is removed from the
deskphone.
For restore, the initiating process must supply only the backup file name. The file is requested from
the server by an HTTP GET message. If successful, the file is returned to the initiating process.
Otherwise a failure message is returned.
Backup and restore operations construct the URI used in the HTTP message from the value of the
BRURI parameter and from the file name as follows:
• If BRURI ends with a / (a forward slash), the file name is appended.
• Otherwise, a forward slash and the file name is appended to the BRURI value.
Note:
BRURI can include a directory path and or a port number as specified in IETF RFCs 2396
and 3986.
For backup, the initiating process must supply the backup file and the file name, and the file is sent
to the server through an HTTP PUT message. A success or failure indication is returned to the
initiating process based on whether or not the file is successfully transferred to the server.
For restore, the initiating process must only supply the file name, and the file is requested from the
server through an HTTP GET message. The file is returned to the initiating process if it is
successfully obtained from the server, otherwise a failure indication is returned.
For deletion, the initiating process must only supply the file name. The server requests deletion of
the file through an HTTP DELETE message. The initiating process receives a success indication, if
a 2xx HTTP status code is received, otherwise a failure indication is returned.
If you use TLS, the call server registration password for the phone must be included in an
Authorization request-header in each transmitted GET and PUT method. This method is intended
for use by the Avaya IP Telephone File Server Application so that the phone requesting the file
transaction can be authenticated. You can downloaded the Avaya IP Telephone File Server
Application from the
If no digital certificates are downloaded based on the system parameter TRUSTCERTS, the phone
establishes a TLS connection only to a backup and restore file server that has a Avaya-signed
certificate. The Avaya certificate is included by default with the Avaya IP Telephone File Server
Application, and includes the credentials. However, if at least one digital certificate has been
downloaded based on TRUSTCERTS, the credentials are included only if BRAUTH is set to 1. This
method is a security feature to allow control over whether the credentials are sent to servers with
third-party certificates. If the server on which the Avaya IP Telephone File Server Application is
installed uses a non-Avaya certificate, set BRAUTH to 1 to enable authentication of the deskphones.
The default value of BRAUTH is 0.
When the call server IP address and the registration password of the phone are included as the
credentials in an Authorization request-header, the call server IP address is included first in dotted-
decimal format, followed by a colon, hex 3A, followed by the registration password of the phone.
Both backup and restore operations support HTTP/HTTPS authentication. The authentication
credentials and realm are stored in re-programmable, non-volatile memory, which is not overwritten
