Administering your phone
The choice of the package depends on the protocol you are using, H.323 or SIP, for all or the
majority of your phones.
H.323 software distribution packages contain:
• One upgrade file
• All of the display text language files
• A file named av_prca_pem_2033.txt that contains a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format that may be downloaded to telephones based
on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Utility Server.
Release 6.0 and later software distribution packages in Zip format also contain a signatures
directory containing signature files and a certificate file to be used by the Avaya file server
application on the Utility server. Customers using a non-Avaya HTTP server can ignore or delete
this directory.

Using the upgrade file
The upgrade file indicates to the phone whether it needs to upgrade software. From Release 6.0
onwards, the upgrade file is either H.323-specific or SIP-specific. The deskphones read this file
whenever the deskphone is reset. The upgrade script file also directs the phone to the settings file.
Avaya recommends that you do not alter the upgrade script file because if Avaya changes the
upgrade script file in the future, any changes you have made will be lost. Avaya recommends that
you use the 46xxsettings.txt file to customize your settings instead. However, you can change the
settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding GET command in the
upgrade script file.

About the settings file
The settings file contains the option settings you need to customize the IP deskphones for your
enterprise.
Note:
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP deskphones.
The settings file can include any of six types of statements, one on each line:
• Tag lines that begin with a single # (pound) 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 phone 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.
