Configuring the phone using the settings file

The 46xxsettings.txt file is used to specify certain system parameters. You can get the
46xxsettings.txt file from the software distribution package with Product Support Notices
from the Avaya support
software on page 35.
The downloaded 46xxsettings.txt file contains the list of supported phone models,
explanatory notes, the list of commented parameters, their description and allowed values.
The default 46xxsettings.txt file contains the parameters distributed into the groups, for
example, "Server settings (SIP)".
The requirements for settings file parameters
The following rules should be applied when configuring the phone parameters with the
46xxsettings.txt:
• Any line that does not begin with "SET", "IF", "GOTO", "#", "ADD" or "GET" is treated as a
comment.
• To activate a setting, remove the "##" from the beginning of the line for the required
parameter, and change the value to the one appropriate for your environment.
• To include spaces in a value, the entire value must be enclosed in double quotes, as in the
following example:
SET MYCERTCN "Avaya telephone with MAC address $MACADDR"
• Only double quotes (ACSII 34) can be used.
Note:
The unsupported symbols for setting the parameters in the 46xxsettings.txt file are the
following: the left double quotation mark (ASCI 8220) and the right double quotation mark
(ASCII 8221).

Contents of the settings file

The settings file can include any of the six types of statements, one per line:
• Tags, which are lines that begin with a single "#" character, followed by a single space
character, followed by a text string with no spaces.
• Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the phone 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 $parameter_name SEQ string GOTO tag. Conditionals cause
the Goto command to be processed if the value of the parameter named parameter_name
exactly matches string. If no such parameter named parameter_name exists, the entire
conditional is ignored. The only parameters that can be used in a conditional statement are:
GROUP, MACADDR, MODEL and MODEL4.
• 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
