4600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files
Issue 2.2 April 2005 69
The Avaya-provided upgrade script file includes lines that tell the telephone to GET
46xxsettings.scr and 46xxsettings.txt. These lines cause the telephone to use TFTP/HTTP to
attempt to download the file specified in the GET command. If the file is obtained, its contents
are interpreted as an additional script file. That is how your settings are changed from the
default settings. If the file cannot be obtained, the telephone continues processing the upgrade
script file. The upgrade script file is processed so that if there is no 46xxsettings.scr file, the
telephone looks for a 46xxsettings.txt file. If the settings file is successfully obtained but does
not include any setting changes the telephone stops using TFTP or HTTP. This happens when
you initially download the script file template from the Avaya support Web site, before you make
any changes. When the settings file contains no setting changes, the telephone does not go
back to the upgrade script file.
You can change the settings file name, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding
GET command in the upgrade script file. However, we encourage you not to alter the
Avaya-provided upgrade script file. If Avaya changes the upgrade script file in the future, any
changes you have made will be lost. We strongly encourage you to use the 46xxsettings file to
customize your settings instead.
For more details on customizing your settings file, see Contents of the Settings File

Choosing the Right Application File and Upgrade Script File
The 4600 IP Telephone software Releases are bundled together in *exe and *zip files on the
Avaya support Web site. See 4600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files
for a
detailed description. As of Release 2.0, you have four “bundles” from which to choose. Only one
bundle is likely to be optimal for any one environment.
Which bundle to choose depends on the answer to two questions:
● Which version of 4610SW/4620SW software do you need in that environment?
● Are the majority of your 4602/4602SW, 4610SW, 4620, 4620SW, and 4621SW
Telephones in that environment H.323-based or SIP-based?
The 4610SW, 4620SW, 4621SW, and 4622SW IP Telephones support multi-byte characters, so
the software bundles come in one of three versions:
● a default version which only supports single-byte characters like those used in English,
French, Japanese Katakana, etc.,
● a multi-byte version for 4610SW, 4620SW, 4621SW, and 4622SWs that support Chinese
and Russian, and
● a separate multi-byte version for 4610SW, 4620SW, 4621SW, and 4622SWs that support
Japanese and Russian.
If multi-byte support is not relevant to you, select the default bundle, even if you do not have any
4610SW, 4620SW, 4621SW, and 4622SW phones. Otherwise, select the software bundle that
includes Chinese or Japanese, as appropriate.
