46xxsettings.txt file issue

[phonegoober]

hello all,
i am having a problem with installing the 46xxsettings.txt file on a local s8300 lsp. I have downloaded the .tar file and can view that via the TFTP software screen. When i download the "46xxsettings.txt file", it took in only when i unchecked "install local"

it's now showing up in the web browser of the S8300 and i can't view the "46xxsettings" via the web browser as it thinks it's not there.

For now, i am just using TFTP and not HTTPs/http web server.

thx

if you are using the LSP as the TFTP server this is what I do..

download the 46xxsettings file (don't check install file on local server)

once it is downloaded cd/var/home/ftp/pub then 'ls' to list the contents
if it is there do a cp *.txt /tftpboot

then cd /tftpboot and 'ls'
if the file is in the tftpboot directory it should be picked up by the handsets.

Thanks Definityandmuk,

I have downloaded the file as you mention and it did take it when i don't check the "install on the local server", but when i open up the s8300 browser and cick IP phones view the 46xxsettings, it say's it's not there.

You need to install the file, form the AVAYA website with the xxxxxx.tar.gz, this installs the web browser links to allow viewing and the modifying of the file.

Here is the 9600 link:

http://support.avaya.com/japple/css...eID=314364&temp.bucketID=108025&PAGE=Document

The file 96xxH323_cm3_1_wi2_4_ip1_50_050707.tar is for CM 3.1, and isntlals the 9600 firmware in your /tftpboot directory... There are also ones for 4600 firmware as well.
click on "install" when you download in the maint. web page, this will then allow you to view your 46xxsettings.txt file in the /tftpboot directory, as well as instlaling the firmware in that directory as well.

P.S. I do this on EVERY system I install, and also test them, with an inhouse DHCP server (Option 176 & 242). Always works great, when its setup properly.

Mitch672,
I tried it and downloaded the file you mention. I then go in the IP phone menu to verify and manage the IP phones
46xxsettings file and i get:
System Failure

A system failure occurred. Click continue to return to the main page.

System failure occurred trying to generate web page. Try again.

When i telnet to my S8300, i get the pbx command line stuff and would like to know how i can do the linux ls commands, etc.
thx

phonegoober,

my maintenance web page gives me the same response...it's probably better just to edit the file outside of the web interface, then download it and move it over to the tftp folder via definityandcmuk's instructions above.

here's my question...does anyone have a good option 176 dhcp string for an http server? i'm seeing different things and am not sure what's working.

definityandcmuk,
i haven't edited my settings file per your suggestion...but that kinda defies logic (i know you asked not to ask). if the phone is reading the settings file, it already knows where the server is, so why (and this is rhetorical) would you have to tell it there?

thanks!

I have said this before, i will say it again.

If you use an S8300 as the TFTP OR HTTP/S server, AVAYA supports ports 81, and 411 for HTTP and HTTPS downloads.
as well as port 69 for TFTP.

Make sure those are enabled in your firewall, and, in your DHCP Option 242, you MUST use "TLSSRVR=", NOT "HTTPSRVR=", then in the 46xxsettings.txt file that you have placed in the /tftpboot directory, make the first line "SET HTTPSRVR x.y.z.y" which would be the IP address of your S8300. It needs TLS (HTTPS) to get the initial files from the S8300, but works better after that to use HTTP. This has been my experience, I have done over 100 systems.

Its also not that important to be able to edit the file with the "IP Phone" selection. "vi" works very well, and I suggest everyone learns a few of the commands, it's not that hard. Here are the command syou need to know: "i" is insert (lets you modify). "esc" exits "i" (insert) mode. ":w!" writes the file, ":q" quits. use the cursor keys to move around. there you go, now you are a vi expert Oh yeah, "cd /tftpboot", and "vi 46xxsettings.txt" to get you started.

TIFWIW

Mitch672,

Thanks for the info. How do i telnet to the s8300 and be able to do the ls (linux) commands.
I can telnet, put in my password, but i get a sat login and can only do PBX commands. I need to know how to get to the linux side when i telnet to the s8300/lsp.
thx. It as me for term type and would like to know that as well. thanks.

 

[Mitch672]

If you telnet to port 23, that IS the linux side. Port 5023 is ASA admin only.

Try telneting to the S8300. Terminal type doesn't matter, unless you are going to do a "sat" session, then make sure you say "W2KTT".

once you are at the command prompt, "cd /tftpboot", "ls", etc.

Thanks Mitch672.

I tried port 23 and i still got the Sat Session in the LSP.
i am using my normal switch login
Do i need to use a dadmin or something else?

thx
