The GROUP System Value

Contents of the TFTP Settings File 4
As seen by the last lines of the Upgrade Script file (above), after checking the application software,
the 4600 Series IP Telephone looks for a 46xx settings file. This optional file is under your control
and is where you would identify non-default option settings, application-specific parameters, etc. A
template for this file is available for download at the Avaya support website, and an example of
what the file could look like is displayed below.

The GROUP System Value 4
There may be situations where you have different communities of end users, all of which have the
same model telephone, but which require different administered settings. For example, you might
want to restrict Call Center agents from having the ability to Logoff, yet that might be an essential
capability for “hot-desking” associates.
As of Release 2.0, the simplest way to separate groups of users is by associating each of them
with a number, and editing the 46xxsettings file so that each group is assigned the appropriate
settings. The GROUP system value is used for this purpose. The GROUP system value cannot
be set in the 46xxsettings file - only on a phone-by-phone basis. Instead, you should first identify
which phones are associated with which group, and designate a number for each group. The
number can be any integer from 0 to 999, with 0 as the default (i.e., your largest group would be
assigned as Group 0).
Then, at each non-default phone, instruct the installer or end-user to invoke the GROUP Local
(dialpad) Administrative procedure as specified in the 4600 Series IP Telephone Installation Guide
and specify which GROUP number to use. Once the GROUP assignments are in place, edit the
The sample below is intended as an example only; your settings will most likely vary from
the settings shown. This sample assumes specification of a DNS Server, parameters for
the 4630/4630SW Directory application, and a 4620 web browser. See Administering
Options for the 4600 Series IP Telephones, on page 4-30, for details about specific values.
You need only specify settings that vary from defaults, although specifying defaults is
harmless.
