The following phases are involved in setting up a TFTP server.
Install the TFTP server software. The section below describes 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 4-2 . For increased security, it is also recommended that you disable the ability to upload to the server. Note that this option may be not available to all TFTP servers.
You may also enable the transfer size option (tsize) if your TFTP server supports it. Doing so allows the IP telephone to monitor the transfer’s progress by displaying the total number of data blocks.
Download the upgrade script file and application file from the Avaya website (http://www.avaya.com/support) to the directory as specified by the file path.
NOTE:
Many LINUX servers distinguish between upper and lower case names. Be sure to accurately specify the 46xxsettings filename, as well as the names and values of the data therein.
