Note:
For any new software release, ensure that you download the latest software distribution
package and read any Product Support Notices (PSNs) associated with the new release. Both
are available on the
Review the release notes and any Read Me files associated with a distribution package.
Ensure that the Settings file is not cached in your browser. To do this, clear the browser
cache before downloading the Settings file from the Avaya support Web site, so that you
don't get an old version.
Software distribution package containing the files needed to operate the 9600 Series IP
Deskphones are packaged together in a ZIP format. You can download the package from the
Avaya support website.
SIP software distribution package contain:
• One or more software files;
• One upgrade file (96x1Supgrade.txt);
• All of the display text language files;
• Files av_prca_pem_2033.txt and av_sipca_pem_2027.txt that contain a copy of the Avaya
Product Root Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format that may be downloaded to
deskphones based on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter. You must also include the
System Manager route certificate in the TRUSTCERTS parameter for IM to work.
• File named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Software Update Manager application.
Note:
Settings files are not included in the software distribution packages because they would
overwrite your existing file and settings.
Two configuration files are important to understand. They are:
• The upgrade file, 96x1Supgrade.txt, that tells the deskphone whether the deskphone
needs to upgrade software. The deskphones attempt to read this file whenever they
reset. The upgrade file is also used to point to the settings file.
• The settings file, 46xxsettings.txt, that contains the option settings that enable,
disable, or otherwise customize the settings you might need to tailor the deskphones for
your enterprise.
