9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Scripts and Binary Files
Choosing the Right Binary File and Upgrade Script File
The software releases containing the files needed to operate the 9600 Series IP Telephones are
bundled together. You download this self-extracting executable file to your file server from the
Avaya support Web site at: http://www.avaya.com/support
. The file is available in both zipped
and unzipped format. You must select one of two software “bundles" to download the latest
software, depending on whether your telephone environment is primarily SIP-centric or
H.323-centric.
Each bundle contains:
● An upgrade script file, 96xxupgrade.txt, which allows you to upgrade to new software
releases and new functionality without having to replace SIP IP telephones. The upgrade
script tells the telephone whether a software upgrade is needed. All Avaya IP Telephones
attempt to read this file whenever they reset. The upgrade script file is also used to point to
the settings file. An alternate file may be included, depending on which software bundle
you download.
● Binary files for all current 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones.
● Other useful information such as a ReadMe file and the latest binary code.
In addition to the upgrade script, binary files and Read Me file you need the latest binary code
the Avaya SIP IP Telephones use, which is part of the software bundle you choose for your site.
All these files are in self-extracting executable file comes in both zipped and unzipped format.
When the majority of your IP telephones are SIP-based, select the software bundle identified as
“SIP” from the Avaya Support Web site. The binary files in this SIP software bundle are the
same as in the H.323 bundle. The difference is a modified upgrade script file that assumes SIP
is the default protocol for your 9600 Series IP Telephones, and that H.323 is the exception. For
more information on SIP-centric environments, see "Converting Software on 9600 Series IP
Telephones" in the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones
