Maintaining 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones
In addition to the upgrade script, application files and Read Me file you need the latest binary
code the Avaya SIP IP Telephones use, which is part of the software bundle you choose for
your site. All these files are in self-extracting executable file comes in both zipped and unzipped
format.
When the majority of your IP telephones are SIP-based, select the software bundle identified as
"SIP" from the Web site. The application files in this SIP software bundle are the same as in the
H.323 bundle. The difference is a modified upgrade script file that assumes SIP is the default
protocol for your 9600 Series IP Telephones, and that H.323 is the exception. For more
information on SIP-centric environments, see
Telephones on page 12.

Download Procedure

The Avaya-provided upgrade script files and the binaries included in the zip files upgrade the
Avaya IP Telephones. You should not need to modify them. It is essential that all the binary files
be together on the file server. When downloading a new release onto a file server with an
existing release already on it, we recommend that you:
Stop the file server.
●
Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
●
Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file to a backup location.
●
Remove all the files in the download directory. This ensures that you do not have an
●
inappropriate binary or configuration file on the server. The only system values that can be
used in the Conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP, and SIG.
Download the self-extracting executable file, or the corresponding zip file.
●
Extract all the files.
●
Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file back into the download directory.
●
Check the Readme files for release-specific information.
●
Modify the 46xxsettings.txt file as desired.
●
Restart the HTTP/HTTPS server.
●
Reset your Avaya IP Telephones.
●

Updating the Settings File

After checking the application software, the 9600 Series IP Telephone looks for a 46xxsettings
file. Another important maintenance activity might be to update the settings file for any changes
to your customized settings. Checking the Read Me file can provide an indication of the impact
of a software upgrade on your current settings.
