Download Procedure

The Avaya-provided upgrade file and the application files included in the Software Distribution
Package upgrade the deskphones. You should not need to modify them. It is essential that all
the files be together on your file server. When downloading a new release onto a file server with
an existing release already on it, we recommend that you:
1. Stop the file server.
2. If you want to specify a port the telephones should use to communicate with the file server,
administer the desired port setting in HTTPPORT or TLSPORT, for HTTP or TLS,
respectively.
3. Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
4. Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file to a backup location.
5. 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, MACADDR, MODEL, and
SIG.
6. Download the self-extracting executable file, or the corresponding zip file.
7. Extract all the files.
8. Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file back into the download directory.
9. Check the Readme file for release-specific information.
10. Modify the 46xxsettings.txt file as desired.
