Overview

Configuration files and firmware files for IP phones can now be downloaded using Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP). TFTP can be used to download configuration, update instructions,
and firmware files to IP phones. The TFTP server stores the image files and configuration
(upgrade and settings) files of the IP phones. You can use both Avaya Installation Wizard and
GIW to upload IP phone files to the TFTP Server located on the G250 Media Gateway.
The TFTP server supports requests to read files from a special directory ("/phonedir/") for phone
images and scripts.
