Downloading The Vpn Firmware; Configuring The Vpn Settings - Avaya VPNremote 4600 Series Administrator's Manual

Downloading the VPN firmware

Prior to configuring the VPNremote Phone, you must first install the VPNremote Phone firmware
on an existing internal TFTP server. Install the VPNremote Phone firmware files on the same
TFTP server that the existing IP telephones 2.3 firmware.
Note:
The TFTP server should not be accessible from outside the enterprise network
Note:
without a VPN connection.
Upon download, the VPN firmware will replace the existing 46XXupgrade.scr file on the TFTP
server and add additional files for the VPNremote Phone firmware upgrades. The replacement
46XXupgrade.scr file preserves the existing IP Telephone 2.3 binaries and adds the VPNremote
Phone binaries, and upgrade and downgrade scripts. The script files also contains a
46XXvpnsettings.txt file that is used to set the VPN parameters for each VPNremote Phone,
and a 46vpnupgrade.scr file for telephones that have already been upgraded to VPNremote
telephones.
Upon completion of the download, the telephone will restart. Upon restart, the telephone will
attempt to establish a VPN connection. To complete the configuration, you must configure the
user VPN settings.

Configuring the VPN Settings

Once the firmware has successfully downloaded to the IP Telephone, you are now ready to
configure the VPN settings. The 46XXvpnsettings.txt file is populated with the settings that are
used by the VPNremote Phone to create the VPN tunnels. It is recommended that the
administrator edit the VPN settings files to set the configuration parameters for VPNremote
Phone users.
