User's Manual

In configurations where the upgrade script and the application files are in the default directory
on the HTTP server, do not use the command HTTPDIR=<path>.
HTTP Generic Setup
About this task
You can store the same application software, script file, and settings file on an HTTP server
as you can on a TFTP server. The B189 Conference IP phones do not support TFTP. With
proper administration, the B189 Conference IP phone seeks out and uses the application
software, script file, and settings file. The B189 Conference IP phone might lose some
functionality, if you reset the HTTP server or the HTTP server is unavailable. For more
information, see
Administering the DHCP and File Servers on page 39.
Caution:
Ensure that the files defined by the HTTP server configuration are accessible from all B189
Conference IP phones that need those files. Ensure that the file names match the names
in the upgrade script, including case, as UNIX systems are case-sensitive.
Note:
Use any suitable HTTP application. Commonly used HTTP applications include Apache
®
and Microsoft
®
IIS
™
.
Important:
You must use the Avaya Web configuration server to get HTTPS so that information is
authenticated. The Avaya Web configuration server does not support backup or restore. If
you intend to use HTTP for backup and restore purposes, you must use an HTTP server
that is independent of the Avaya Web configuration server.
To set up an HTTP server:
Procedure
1. Install the HTTP server application.
2. Administer the system parameter HTTPSRVR to the addresses of the HTTP
server.
Include the parameter in DHCP Option 242, or the appropriate SSON Option.
3. Download the upgrade script file and application files from the Avaya website
avaya.com/support to the HTTP server.
