About software distribution packages

Software distribution packages contain the files that are required for phone. These files are
packaged together in a Zip format. Download the appropriate package from the
site.
Note:
The H.323 Sonic deskphones with hardware version 3 and above use *.bin while the phone
with hardware version lesser than 3 use *.tar.
J169/J179 phones uses only *.bin .
The software distribution packages contain the following:
• Software files.
• One upgrade file such as 96x1Hupgrade.txt.
• All the display text language files. For example, mlf_SB189_v78_korean.txt
• A file named av_prca_pem_2033.txt that contains a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format. You can downloaded this file to the phones
based on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter.
• Updated MIB file.
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Software Update Manager application.
The Zip distribution packages includes a signatures directory. The signatures directory contains
SHA-1 and SHA-2 signature files, and a certificate file for the Utility server.
Note:
When you download the application file from the Avaya support Web site, ensure you are
downloading the correct version. One version enables VPN and media encryption
functionality, while the other disables those functions.
Note:
Settings files are not included in the software distribution packages because the files overwrite
the existing file and settings.
