4600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files
4-21
You can change the name of the settings file, if desired, as long as you also edit the corresponding
GET command in the upgrade script file. In general, however, you are encouraged 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. You are strongly encouraged to use the 46xxsettings file to
manage your customization instead.
For more details on customizing your settings file, see Contents of the TFTP Settings File

Choosing the Right Application File and Upgrade Script File 4
As mentioned in 4600 Series IP Telephone Scripts and Application Files
, the 4600 IP Telephone
software Releases are bundled together in *exe and *zip files on the Avaya support website. As of
Release 2.0, there are 4 “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 4620SW software do you need in that environment?
■ Are the majority of your 4602/4602SW telephones in that environment H.323-based or SIP-
based?
The 4620SW IP Telephone supports 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 4620SWs that supports
Chinese and Russian, and a separate multi-byte version for 4620SWs that supports Japanese and
Russian. If multi-byte support is not relevant to you, you want the default bundle, even if you do not
have any 4620SWs. Otherwise, you want the software bundle that includes Chinese or Japanese,
as appropriate.
The 4602 IP Telephones can support either H.323 or SIP signaling protocol. If a majority of your
4602s are H.323-based (the standard), or if you have no 4602s at all, you can use any of the
software bundles identified above. If a majority of your 4602s are SIP-based, you want the fourth
software bundle, identified as the “SIP” software bundle on the website. The application files in this
SIP bundle are the same as in the default bundle, but the upgrade script file in the SIP bundle has
been modified to assume that SIP is the default protocol for 4602s, and that H.323 is the
exception.
If your environment contains a mixture of 4602 H.323 and SIP telephones, you will want to use the
SIG system value to ensure each of those telephones have their appropriate software
downloaded. The SIG system value has three legal values: the default value “0” (meaning “use the
default protocol”), “1” meaning “use H.323”, and “2” meaning “use SIP.” You decide the meaning of
“the default protocol” - if the majority of your 4602 IP telephones are H.323-based, that should be
the default, otherwise, SIP is the default.
All bundles include the complete software for the other, non-4620SW telephones
(including the 4620 but not including the 4630/4630SW, which remains separate). The
only differences between the three bundles are the software for the 4620SW, and a slight
change in the associated upgrade script file.
