9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Scripts and Binary Files
Issue 2 December 2007 69
Upgrade Script File
An upgrade script file named 96xxupgrade.txt, tells the IP telephone whether the telephone
needs to upgrade software. The 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones attempt to read this file
whenever they reset. The upgrade script file also points to the settings file.
You download the upgrade script file, sometimes called the “script file,” from
http://www.avaya.com/support
. This file allows the telephone to use default settings for
customer-definable options. All files must reside in the same directory.
An "alternate" upgrade script is also included, designed for environments that will support both
the H323 and SIP modes of operation. For such environments, the file needs to be edited in
those sections having headings of “H.323 EDIT INSTRUCTIONS.” Specific instructions are
provided in the Readme file that accompanies each software bundle. Once these changes are
made, the alternate file should be renamed to “96xxupgrade.txt” and placed in the HTTP
download directory. The HTTP download directory holds the telephone backup and application
binaries the telephone will download. Renaming the alternate file causes any “96xxupgrade.txt”
files residing in that directory to be overwritten.
Note:
Note: Avaya recommends that the settings file have the extension *.txt. The Avaya IP
Telephones can operate without this file. You can also change these settings with
DHCP or, in some cases, from the dialpad of the telephone.
Settings File
The settings file contains the option settings you need to customize the Avaya IP Telephones for
your enterprise.
Note:
Note: Use one settings file for all your Avaya IP Telephones. The settings file includes
the 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones covered in this document. The settings file
also includes 9600 Series (H.323) IP Telephones, 4600 Series IP Telephones,
and 1600 Series IP Telephones as covered in their respective administrator
guides.
The settings file can include any of five types of statements, one per line:
● Comments, which are statements with a “#” character in the first column.
● Tags, which are comments that have exactly one space character after the initial #,
followed by a text string with no spaces.
● Goto commands, of the form GOTO tag. Goto commands cause the telephone to
continue interpreting the configuration file at the next line after a # tag statement. If no
such statement exists, the rest of the configuration file is ignored.
