Maintaining 1600 Series IP Telephones
Note:
You can use one settings file for all your Avaya IP Telephones including the 1600
Note:
Series IP Telephone, 9600 Series IP Telephones, and 4600 Series IP
Telephones.
In addition to the upgrade script and settings files, you need the latest binary code used in the
Avaya IP Telephones.

Download Procedure

The Avaya-provided upgrade script files and the binaries included in the zip files upgrade the
Avaya IP Telephones. You should not need to modify them. It is essential that all the binary files
be together on the file server. When downloading a new release onto a file server with an
existing release already on it, we recommend that you:
Stop the file server.
●
Back up all the current file server directories as applicable.
●
Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file to a backup location.
●
Remove all the files in the download directory. This ensures that you do not have an
●
inappropriate binary or configuration file on the server. The only system values that can be
used in the Conditional statement are: BOOTNAME, GROUP, and SIG.
Download the self-extracting executable file, or the corresponding zip file.
●
Extract all the files.
●
Copy your 46xxsettings.txt file back into the download directory.
●
Check the Readme files for release-specific information.
●
Modify the 46xxsettings.txt file as desired.
●
Restart the HTTP/HTTPS server.
●
Reset your Avaya IP Telephones.
●
You can download a default upgrade script file, sometimes called merely the "script file," from
http://www.avaya.com/support. This file allows the telephone to use default settings for
customer-definable options. Of course, these settings can also be changed with DHCP or in
some cases, from the telephone's dialpad itself. However, you might want to open the default
file and administer the options to add useful functionality to your Avaya IP Telephones. This file
must reside in the same directory as the upgrade script file, and must be called
46xxsettings.scr or 46xxsettings.txt. The Avaya IP Telephones can operate without this file.
Note:
Most Windows systems interpret the file extension *.scr as a screen saver. The
Note:
4600 IP Telephones originally used *.scr to indicate a script file. We highly
recommend that the settings file have the extension *.txt.
