Server Administration

HTTP

This section gives general guidance to set up an HTTP server for downloading software updates to 4600 Series IP Telephones.

! 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:

Use any HTTP application you want. In addition to the HTTP application on the Avaya S8300 Media Server, other commonly used HTTP applications include Apache and Microsoft IIS.

HTTP Generic Setup

These are the phases involved in setting up an HTTP server:

Install the HTTP server application.

Administer the system parameters HTTPSRVR and CODESRVR to the address(es) of the HTTP server. Include these parameters in DHCP Option 176, or the appropriate SSON Option.

Download the upgrade script file and application file(s) from the Avaya Web site http://www.avaya.com/support to the HTTP server.

Note:

Many LINUX servers distinguish between upper and lower case names. Ensure that you specify the 46xxsettings filename accurately, as well as the names and values of the data within the file.

If you choose to enhance the security of your HTTP environment by using Transport Layer Security (TLS), you also need to:

Install the TLS server application.

Administer the system parameter TLSSRVR to the address(es) of the Avaya HTTP server.
