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, which tells the deskphone whether the telephone 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 contains the option settings that enable, disable, or otherwise customize
the settings you might need to tailor the Avaya IP Deskphones for your enterprise.
Note:
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP Telephones including the 9600 Series
IP Deskphones covered in this document and in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone H.323
Administrator Guide, and 4600 Series IP Telephones, as covered in the 4600 Series
IP Telephone LAN Administrator Guide (Document 555-233-507).
