TFTP

This section describes how to set up a TFTP server for downloading software updates to the 4600
Series IP Telephones.
WARNING:
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.
You can use any TFTP application you want. However, we strongly recommend
using the TFTP application available for free download at http://avaya.com/support.
The site also contains instructions for installing and configuring the Avaya TFTP
server.

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 line 6 of Table 4-1. 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.
In addition, you may wish to enable the transfer size option (tsize) if your TFTP server
supports it. This will allow the IP telephone to display the progress of the transfer by displaying
the total number of data blocks.
Download the upgrade script file and application file from the Avaya website (http://avaya.com/
support) to the directory as specified by the file path.
