Avaya IP phones request a number of files from the file server when the phone is restarted. For example phone configuration and firmware files.
When using the IP Office system as the file server, when the phone requests a file, if that file is not available the system may auto-generate a file. The auto-generated file will use a combination of default options and settings from the system configuration. Once supplied to the requesting phone the auto-generated file is not retained on the system.
This feature is used for most of the file types except for actual firmware files (example .bin, .zip, .tar) and certificate files. If an actual file is uploaded to the system , auto-generation of that particular file stops.
Within the auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt file:
Those settings based on IP Office configuration entries, for example language settings, appear in the sections labeled "AUTOGENERATEDSETTINGS".
Those settings that remain the same for all IP Office systems using the same release of software appear in the section labeled "NONAUTOGENERATEDSETTINGS".
Testing the File Server
You can use a web browser to perform a basic test of the file server. For example, if using HTTP, entering http://<server_address>/46xxsettings.txt should display the 46xxsettings.txt file.
If using the IP Office system to auto-generate files, the settings file includes text indicating that it was automatically generated by the system in response to the file request. This is useful to not only check the file server operation but to also see the settings being supplied by the IP Office system.
