HTTP Generic Setup
Issue 5 April 2010 55

Activating the New Scope

Use the following procedure to activate the new scope.
1. In the DHCP console tree, click the IP Telephone Scope you just created.
2. From the Action menu, select Activate.
The small red down arrow over the scope icon disappears, indicating that the scope was
activated.
HTTP Generic Setup
You can store the same application software, script file, and settings file on an HTTP server as
you can on a TFTP server. TFTP is not supported for 1600 Series IP Telephones. With proper
administration, the telephone seeks out and uses that material. Some functionality might be lost
by a reset if the HTTP server is unavailable. For more information, see DHCP and File
Servers on page 43.
!CAUTION:
CAUTION: The files defined by HTTP server configuration must be accessible from all IP
telephones invoking those files. Ensure that the file names match the names in
the upgrade script, including case, since UNIX systems are case-sensitive.
Note:
Note: Use any HTTP application you want. Commonly used HTTP applications include
Apache® and Microsoft® IIS™.
!Important:
Important: You must use the Avaya Web configuration server to obtain HTTPS so
information is authenticated.
The Avaya Web configuration server does not support backup/restore. If you
intend to use HTTP for backup/restore purposes, you must use an HTTP server
that is independent of the Avaya Web configuration server.
To set up an HTTP server:
●Install the HTTP server application.
●Administer the system parameter HTTPSRVR to the address(es) of the HTTP server.
Include these parameters in DHCP Option 242, or the appropriate SSON Option.
