The settings file can include any of the five types of statements, one per line:
Comments, which are statements with a "#" character in the first column.
●
Tags, which are comments that have exactly one space character after the initial #,
●
followed by a text string with no spaces.
Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the telephone 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.
Conditionals, of the form IF $name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals cause the Goto
●
command to be processed if the value of name is a case-insensitive equivalent to string.
If no such name exists, the entire conditional is ignored.
SET commands, of the form SET parameter_name value. Invalid values cause the
●
specified value to be ignored for the associated parameter_name so the default or
previously administered value is retained. All values must be text strings, even if the
value itself is numeric, a dotted decimal IP address, etc.
Note:
Enclose all data in quotation marks for proper interpretation.
Note:
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 HTTP/HTTPS
to attempt to download the file specified in the GET command. If the file is 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. The upgrade script file is processed so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the
telephone looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the settings file is successfully obtained but does
not include any setting changes the telephone stops using HTTP. This happens when you
initially download the script file template from the Avaya support Web site, before you make any
changes. When the settings file contains no setting changes, the telephone does not go back to
the upgrade script file.
You can change the settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding
GET command in the upgrade script file. However, we encourage you not to alter the
Avaya-provided upgrade script file. If Avaya changes the upgrade script file in the future, any
changes you have made will be lost. We strongly encourage you to use the 46xxsettings file to
customize your settings instead.
