TFTP
This section describes how to set up a TFTP server for downloading software updates to the 4600 Series
IP Telephones.
CAUTION:
The files defined by the TFTP server configuration have to be accessible from all IP
Telephones. Ensure that the filenames match the names in the upgrade script, including
case, since UNIX systems are case-sensitive.
NOTE:
You can use any TFTP application you want. However, we strongly recommend using the
TFTP application available for free download at
TFTP server capability on the S8300's media
instructions for installing and configuring the Avaya TFTP server.

TFTP Generic Setup

The following phases are involved in setting up a TFTP server.
•
Install the TFTP server software. The section below describes how to install and configure
Avaya's TFTP application.
•
Configure the file path parameter to the directory where the files are to be stored. This is the file
path in Table 2, Required Network Information Before Installation - Per DHCP Server,
41. For increased security, it is also recommended that you disable the ability to upload to the
server. Note that this option may be not available to all TFTP servers.
•
Download the upgrade script file and application file from the Avaya Web site
(http://www.avaya.com/support) to the directory as specified by the file path.
NOTE:
Many LINUX servers distinguish between upper and lower case names. Be sure to
accurately specify the 46xxsettings filename, as well as the names and values of the data
therein.
