38 Avaya IP Telephone File Server Application Reference Guide
Acting as a client, the IP Telephone File Server Application server requests firmware updates
from a central file server. When set as the client and optioned for firmware updates, the IP
Telephone File Server Application sever periodically requests a list of any new firmware from
the primary/secondary file server, in that order.
A list of all available firmware or other files stored in the file server Updates directory is
delivered to the IP Telephone File Server Application server acting as a client. The file server
application checks the files in its own Updates directory and requests all files it does not have
using HTTPS GET requests.
On successfully receiving new files, the server unzips them and places copies in each of the
TFTPdata (46xx only), HTTPdata, and HTTPSdata subdirectories. The new files are then
available for telephone download.
To use this feature, assign the following configuration items:
1. Choose the mode for each IP Telephone File Server Application server (client or file
server).
2. Enable the Firmware distribution option in the INI setting.
3. Assign a primary and optional secondary file server address in each IP Telephone File
Server Application client to look for new data.
4. Select the frequency of update. The default is “hourly.”
To check the backup operation, place a file in the Updates subdirectory of the file server. Verify
that it is received and stored in the Updates directory of the IP Telephone File Server
Application basic server. Ensure that zipped files have also been unzipped.
Note:
Note: If you have both Linux and Windows file servers, it might be easier to ZIP file
telephone archives only. Each format can, however, be unpacked in the local IP
Telephone File Server Application server.
Note:
Note: HTTPS proxy support is built in, which allows broader use over an extranet or the
Internet. This mode is currently untested.
