Chapter 9: Managing IP Phone Software

This chapter explains how to manage IP phone software distribution and IP phone configuration
updates to gateway devices. IP phones receive their firmware updates and configuration scripts
from the gateways through a TFTP or HTTP server selected by the DHCP server function.
Each gateway device contains a TFTP or HTTP server which stores firmware files and script
files. Firmware files are stored in device RAM and phone scripts (composed of a settings script
with phone configuration and an upgrade script with instructions for software upgrade) are
stored in device NVRAM.
Avaya Software Update Manager can manage IP Phone scripts on the following devices only:
G250 devices
●
G350 devices
●
G450 devices
●
IP Office devices
●
AM110 devices
●
AM110 devices are able to store up to 16 firmware images and 40 script files (including
language files) per device. The G250, G350, and G450 devices are able to store up to six
firmware files and four setting script files per device.
The IP Phones view includes facilities for detecting gateways, managing software images and
settings scripts, and transferring configuration files to IP phones.
