Creating/Editing The Settings File - Avaya IP Office H.323 Telephone Installation Manual

2.4.2 Creating/Editing the Settings File

During installation, the phones request files first downloading an xxupgrade file from the file server. They then follow
the instructions within that file to request further files if necessary. Various different xxupgrade files exist for the different
phone series. These are provided as part of the
in any way.
The last line of all the xxupgrade files instructs the phones to request the 46xxsettings.txt file. This file can be used to
set site specific settings for all the Avaya H.323 IP phones being supported on a particular site.
When using the IP Office system as the file server, the IP Office system will
file based on various IP Office system configuration settings. It will only do this if there is no actual 46xxsettings.txt file
available on the server.
Manually Editing the File
1. Locate the 46xxsettings.txt file on the file server.
2. Using Windows Notepad or any other plain text editing tool, open the 46xxsettings.txt file.
3. Edit the file as required. The file contains numerous comments and notes. Further details of the various settings
are contained in the appropriate LAN Administrator Manual. This manual only contains a limited number of
examples of the settings available. Note also that the files contain a wide range of settings used on other Avaya
telephone systems that may not work with IP Office systems.

4. A # character at the start of a line comments out the command on that line. Note however that for some options
the phones will assume a default value if the option in the 46xxsettings.txt file is commented out. For example
if SET PHNOL is commented out, the phones will assume the addition of a dial 9 prefix to numbers.
Dialing Prefix
For IP Office systems the addition or removal of dialing prefixes is normally done by the IP Office system rather than
individual phones or applications. For IP Office operation the following changes are recommended in the ENHANCED LOCAL
DIALING RULES section of the 46xxsettings.txt file.
· Change ## SET ENHDIALSTAT 0 to ENDIALSTAT 0.
· Change ## SET PHNOL 9 to SET PHNOL "".
802.1Q Tagging
Unless specifically required for the customer network, for IP Office operation it is recommended that ## SET L2Q 0 is
changed to SET L2Q 2.
WML Web Server Setup
If a WML web site has been setup for viewing by phone users, see
the 46xxsettings.txt file. Change ## WMLHOME http://..... to WMLHOME followed by the required address.
