Updating the path to the 46xxsettings.txt file in an upgrade file

Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Phones start the upgrade procedure by downloading and interpreting the content of the upgrade file. This file contains upgrade instructions, including information about downloading the 46xxsettings.txt file. You must update the default path to the 46xxsettings.txt file, which is specified in the upgrade file. This enables the phone to download the 46xxsettings.txt file generated by Avaya Aura® Device Services and stored on the Utility Server.

Note:

The file name of the upgrade model is based on the phone model. For example, 96x1 phones use the 96x1Hupgrade.txt file name.

Before you begin

  • Activate the firmware package for the phone model.

  • Assign the group identifier to the phone model on the Avaya Aura® Device Services web administration portal.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Avaya Aura® Device Services as an administrator using an SSH connection.
  2. To open the required upgrade file in the vi text editor, run the following command: 
    sudo vi /var/www/html/<UPGRADE_FILE>

    In this command, <UPGRADE_FILE> is the upgrade file name. For example, to open the upgrade file for 96x1 series phones, run the following command:

    sudo vi /var/www/html/96x1Hupgrade.txt
  3. In the upgrade file, replace the GET 46xxsettings.txt entry with GET <GrouID>/46xxsettings.txt, where <GroupID> is the group identifier assigned to the phone model.

    For example, if you assigned 123 to the 96x1 phone model, the updated entry must look as follows: GET 123/46xxsettings.txt.

  4. Save the upgrade file.
