Key 9610 Administration Concepts

Each 9610 seeks a backup/restore file which contains essential administration data in its user interface that enables different capabilities to walk-up users. The backup file concept is common to all phones, but in the case of the 9610, must be created by an administrator to specify the required behavior of the telephone to walk-up users. Backup and retrieval for the 9610 is covered in more detail in 9610 Backup/Restore.

A group of 9610 phones can share a common backup file, or individual 9610 IP Telephones can have individual customized backup files.

Backup files must be created in an editor. There is no capability to store a current configuration from the phone to a backup file as there is for other 9600 Series models.

Within the backup file format, the configuration is split into three portions corresponding to the applications mentioned in General Functionality:

Create a generic backup/restore file named "9610data.txt" that can be used as a default to provide basic functionality and serve as a template for any customized 9610 extensions. Create a backup/restore file named "Ext#_9610data.txt" for the specific extension you want to customize.

See the Avaya support site http://support.avaya.com to download a 9610 backup file example. A sample file also appears on Sample 9610data.txt File.

NOTE: Like other telephone models, the 9610 looks for a 46xxsettings file at startup. In the 46xxsettings file, the system parameter BRURI must be set to the URI where the 9610data.txt file is located. This consists of the HTTP server IP Address and (optional) directory.

If the telephone cannot find the 9610data.txt file or if that file does not exist, the screen displays the default Main Menu (Contacts and Directory).
