Avaya 4600 User Manual

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 

 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.

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 

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
 (

) 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.
