program updates. The configuration file is a file that redirects Avaya IP Agent to the
location of the current update. This file can be created in any ASCII text editor or you

- The Version entry is mandatory. This entry specifies the version of the available
update. Avaya IP Agent compares the current version of the application against the
version listed in the configuration file. If the version in the configuration file is later

location specified in the PathToUpdate entry.
- The PathToUpdate entry is optional. This entry specifies the URL or IP address
where the Avaya IP Agent update is available. If a location is not specified in this
entry, Avaya IP Agent searches the directory containing the configuration file for
AvayaIPAgent.exe.
- The NewCfgAddress entry is optional. This entry specifies the URL or IP address
where another configuration file is located. If the other configuration file is found,
Avaya IP Agent uses the information in this file rather than the information in the
previous configuration file. Using this feature eliminates the need for the
