4600 Series IP Telephone LAN Administrator's Guide
Extract all of the files. When extracting the 4630 files, be sure to allow the directories to be
created.
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 TFTP Server.
Reset your Avaya IP Telephones.
You can download a default upgrade script file, sometimes called merely the "script file" or the
"settings file," from avaya.com/support. This file is sufficient to allow the telephone to use default
settings for customer-definable options, although of course these settings can also be changed
with DHCP or in some cases, from the telephone's dialpad itself. However, you might want to open
the default file and administer the options to add useful functionality to your Avaya IP Telephones.
This file must reside in the same directory as the upgrade script file, and must be called
46xxsettings.scr or 46xxsettings.txt. The Avaya IP Telephones can operate without this file.
Most Windows systems interpret the file extension *.scr as a screen saver. The 4600
IP Telephones originally used *.scr to indicate a script file, but starting with Release
1.7, the settings file can also have the extension *.txt.
The settings file must consist of SET commands, one per line, in this format:
SET parameter_name value
where parameter_name and value are as defined in
descriptions, and acceptable values for all 4600 Series IP Telephones),
(parameters, descriptions, and acceptable values specific to 4630/4630SW IP Telephone
applications), and
Table 4-7, on page 4-39
specific to 4620 IP Telephone applications). Invalid values cause the specified value to be ignored
for the associated parameter_name (so the default value is retained). All values should be text
strings, even if the value itself is numeric, a dotted decimal IP address, etc.
All data should be enclosed in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
The Avaya-provided upgrade script file includes lines that tell the telephone to GET
46xxsettings.scr and 46xxsettings.txt. These lines cause the telephone to use TFTP to attempt
to download the file specified in the GET command. If the file is successfully obtained, its contents
are interpreted as an additional script file - that is how your settings are changed from the default
settings. If the file cannot be obtained, the telephone continues processing the upgrade script file
(so if you do not have a 46xxsettings.scr file, the telephone will look for a 46xxsettings.txt file). If
the settings file is successfully obtained but does not include any setting changes (which is the
case when you initially download the script file template from the Avaya Support website, before
you make any changes), the telephone stops using TFTP (and hence, does not go back to the
upgrade script file).
