About software distribution packages

Important:
For any new software release, download the latest software distribution package and read any
Product Support Notices (PSNs) associated with the new release. Both are available on the
Avaya support site at www.avaya.com/support.
From H.323 software Release 6.0 and later, Software Distribution Packages containing the
files needed to operate the 9600 Series IP phones are packaged together in either a Zip format
or an RPM/Tar format distribution package. You download the package appropriate to your
operating environment to your file server from the Avaya support site at
support based on the protocol you are using either H.323 or SIP for all or the majority of your
phones.
The software distribution packages contain the following:
• One or more software files.
• One upgrade file such as 96x1Hupgrade.txt.
• All the display text language files. For example, mlf_SB189_v78_korean.txt
• A file named av_prca_pem_2033.txt that contains a copy of the Avaya Product Root
Certificate Authority certificate in PEM format. You can downloaded this file to the phones
based on the value of the TRUSTCERTS parameter.
• A file named release.xml that is used by the Avaya Software Update Manager
application.
Release 6.0 software distribution packages in Zip format also contain a signatures directory
containing signature files and a certificate file that the Avaya file server application will use on
the Utility server. Customers using their own HTTP server can ignore or delete this directory.
Note:
The H.323 software Release 6.0 upgrade script file is not the same upgrade script file that
is used for the 9600 series IP phones running software Release 3.1.
