9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Scripts and Binary Files

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:

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:

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.
