Important:
4625SW IP Telephone from H.323 to SIP software, or from SIP to H.323
software. However, depending on the telephone model and the software version
you start from, additional steps may be required from those mentioned in this
section. When converting from one protocol type to another on a given
telephone, please see "Converting Software on Avaya 4600 Series IP
Telephones" in the 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide (Document
Number 555-233-128).
The files necessary to operate the 4600 Series IP Telephones are available on the Avaya Web
site at: http://www.avaya.com/support.
Two files on the file server are essential. Other files are needed when the Avaya IP Telephones
need an upgrade. The essential files are:
An upgrade script file, which tells the IP telephone whether the telephone needs to
●
upgrade software. The Avaya IP Telephones attempt to read this file whenever they reset.
The upgrade script file is also used to point to the settings file. There are separate upgrade
script files for the 4630 Telephones.
Note:
The 4630 IP Telephones have a different upgrade process than the other
Note:
telephones. This is because the 4630 touch screen operation is significantly more
complex than any of the other Avaya IP Telephones. There are some common
elements between the 4630 and other IP telephones. Any differences are
highlighted as appropriate in this section.
The settings file contains the option settings that enable many of the options you will need
●
to customize the Avaya IP Telephones for your enterprise. You can use one settings file for
all your Avaya IP Telephones.
In addition to the upgrade script and settings files you need the latest binary code used in the
Avaya IP Telephones.
The upgrade script file and settings file are available from the Avaya Web site. The files allow
you to upgrade to new software releases and new functionality without having to replace IP
telephones. These two files, plus other useful information such as a ReadMe file, information
about infrared capabilities, and a settings file template, are contained in a self-extracting
executable file you download to your file server. Application files for all current 4600 Series IP
Telephones except the 4630/4630SW, and an upgrade script file, are bundled together in that
self-extracting executable file. The self-extracting executable file comes in both zipped and
unzipped format. See
for more information.
