TFTP

This section describes how to set up a TFTP server for downloading software updates to the 4600 Series IP Telephones.

! CAUTION:

The files defined by the TFTP server configuration have to be accessible from all IP telephones. Ensure that the filenames match the names in the upgrade script, including case, since UNIX systems are case-sensitive.

Note:

You can use any TFTP application you want. However, we strongly recommend using the TFTP application available for free download at http://www.avaya.com/ support or the TFTP server capability on the S8300’s media server. The Avaya support site also contains instructions for installing and configuring the Avaya TFTP server.

TFTP Generic Setup

The following phases are involved in setting up a TFTP server.

Install the TFTP server software. The two sections that follow describe how to install and configure Avaya’s TFTP application.

Configure the file path parameter to the directory where the files are to be stored. This is the file path in Table 2: Required Network Information Before Installation - Per DHCP Server on page 48. For increased security, we also recommend that you disable the ability to upload to the server. Note that this option might not be available to all TFTP servers.

Download the upgrade script file and application file from the Avaya Web site

(http://www.avaya.com/support) to the directory as specified by the file path.

Note:

Many LINUX servers distinguish between uppercase and lowercase names. Ensure that you accurately specify the 46xxsettings filename, and the names and values of the data therein.
