Avaya 4610s and 4620s IP Phones

[mhints]

Hi there,

I would like to know how to upgrade the software/firmware on our IP phones. Is this done from a ftp or tftp server?

Many Thanks

Marc

You can use a tftp server, if you are using dhcp for the ip address assignment just make sure you have an option there telling the phone what ip address to go to for its firmware files.

Some additional documents for reference:

Beginning with Avaya IP Telephone Release 2.2, Avaya IP phones can download scripts and firmware from web servers using the HTTP or TLS (HTTPS) protocols, in addition to TFTP. Preliminary testing at Avaya Labs indicates that HTTP servers can support more simultaneous downloads than TFTP servers, suggesting that HTTP/TLS are better suited for large IP telephone deployments than TFTP. To specify TLS or HTTP script/firmware downloads, in option 176 of the DHCP scope apply the TLSSRVR (for TLS) or HTTPSRVR (for HTTP) parameter in lieu of TFTPSRVR. If TLSSRVR, HTTPSRVR, and TFTPSRVR are all set, the phone will attempt to download firmware using TLS first on TCP port 411, then HTTP on TCP port 81, then HTTP on TCP port 80, then TFTP on UDP port 69. Note: Avaya IP telephones only establish encrypted TLS connections with servers using an Avaya-signed digital certificate (ie, an Avaya S8300 or S8500 Media Server).
