Chapter 3: Administration

Administration overview

Administration of a media station is similar to that done on the Avaya 9600 series IP deskphones.
You will use upgrade files, settings files, and firmware files hosted on a telephony or HTTP server.
Document references
Since the administration of a media station is similar to that done with 9600 series IP deskphones,
use the following documents if you need more details:
• Administering Avaya one-X
9650/9650C IP deskphones

• Avaya one-X
• Administering Avaya 9601/9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G IP Deskphones SIP
• Installing and Maintaining Avaya 9601/9608/9608G/9611G/9621G/9641G IP Deskphones SIP
Administration zip file
With the media station product, you can download a zip file that contains the following support files:
• Upgrade script file template
• Settings file template
• Current firmware update file
Use the template files to set your administration parameters for the media station.
Upgrade script file
When shipped from the factory, the media station might not contain the latest firmware. When the
media station is first plugged in, it will attempt to contact a file server so that it can download the
latest version of firmware.
Use the upgrade script file to identify where the firmware file is located for doing a firmware update.
When you receive a new version of firmware from Avaya, put the firmware at this location and the
media station will be updated automatically.
The upgrade script file must be named E1x9MSUpgrade.txt.
Settings file
Use the settings file to set the parameters required to administer the media station app. Ideally, the
only options you want the user to manually enter in the media station app is their phone number and
password. The upgrade script file references the settings file. Do not use the same settings file for
the media station and other Avaya endpoints.
