Publishing the configuration settings

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Publish the configuration settings to override the user settings for the specified user, the group settings for the specified group, the platform settings for the specified platform, the phone model settings for the specified model, or all global settings specified.

After publishing the endpoint settings, Avaya Aura® Device Services generates a new 46xxsettings.txt file for the selected endpoint series and stores this file on the Utility Server. The file is stored in the /var/www/html/<endpoint group ID>/ directory, where <endpoint group ID> is the group identifier assigned to the endpoint model. If you publish Global settings, then Avaya Aura® Device Services generates new 46xxsettings.txt files for all supported endpoint series.

If you change the group identifier assigned to an endpoint model, Avaya Aura® Device Services automatically generates a new 46xxsettings.txt file in the /var/www/html/<new endpoint group ID>/ directory.

Important:
  • If the Utility Server is disabled, Avaya Aura® Device Services will not generate 46xxsettings.txt files after publishing Global or Phone Model settings.

  • Avaya Aura® Device Services generates 46xxsettings.txt files only for supported models of Avaya 9600 Series IP Deskphones, Avaya J100 Series IP Phones. If you want to use a 46xxsettings.txt file that contains configuration for other supported models, you must manually upload it to the Utility Server. For more information, see Uploading settings file to the Utility Server and Uploading an IP phone custom file.

  • Avaya Aura® Device Services cannot generate 46xxsettings.txt files that contain conditionals, such as IF or GOTO commands. If you want to use a 46xxsettings.txt file that contains conditionals, you must manually upload it to the Utility Server. For more information, see Uploading settings file to the Utility Server.

  • If you change the Default Configuration parameters, such as Lock settings, Obscure lock settings, or Split Horizon DNS mapping, you need to republish the Global and Phone Model settings to include these changes to 46xxsettings.txt files.

Before you begin

  • If you are publishing Phone Model endpoint settings, make sure that a group identifier is assigned to the required endpoint series on the Device Settings page. Otherwise, Avaya Aura® Device Services does not generate the 46xxsettings.txt file for the selected endpoint series and displays an error message.

    Note:

    If you are publishing Global settings, Avaya Aura® Device Services generates 46xxsettings.txt files for endpoints with assigned group identifiers only, but does not display any warning messages.

  • Test configuration settings before publishing them. For more information, see Testing configuration settings.
