Software Maintenance
Both the AVPP and the 3600 Series phones check and obtain their software via TFTP. Therefore TFTP
transfer must be supported across the LAN between these devices and their configured TFTP
server. Both types of device check their current software against that available whenever they are
restarted.
When necessary Avaya, or it authorized distributors will provide information about software updates and
how to obtain that software. That software should be unpacked to the appropriate TFTP server and the
devices restarted.
• 3600 Series Wireless Phones
The wireless phones use proprietary software programs. The software versions that are running
on the wireless phones can be displayed during power on by holding down Power On/Start Call
button. For 3600 Series phones, the location of the TFTP server is allocated by the DHCP server
or if statically addresses set through the phone's Admin menu.
• AVPP
The AVPP uses proprietary software programs. The software versions that are running on the
system components can be displayed via the System Status | Software Version menu. At startup,
the AVPP uses TFTP to check the software version it is running against the version in the TFTP
location. If there is a discrepancy, the AVPP will download the version in the TFTP location. For
the AVPP the location of its TFTP server is set by the SVP-II TFTP Download Master field in its
Network Configuration settings.
