These methods of B199 installation uses a separate HTTP file server to upgrade the new phone, if necessary. The phone then gets its settings file from the IP Office system.
The following methods of installation are supported.
Method
Description
1.
Using a Third-Party HTTP Server for B199 phones with R1.0 FP5 or earlier firmware
This method:
The phone requests the avayab199_fw_version.xml file from the third-party HTTP file server.
If necessary to upgrade, the phone requests the firmware-1.0.8.3.2-release.kt file from the third-party HTTP file server.
The phone requests an avayab199.xml settings file from the third-party file server.
The custom avayab199.xml file provided by the third-party file server instructs the phone to connect to the IP Office system.
The phone restarts and now requests the full avayab199.xml file from the IP Office system.
2.
Using a Third-Party File Server for B199 phones with R1.0 FP6 or higher firmware
This method is only supported with IP Office R11.1 FP2 SP4 and higher and B199 phones already running R1.0 FP6 or higher..
The phone requests the avayab199_fw_version.xml file from the IP Office system.
If necessary to upgrade, the phone requests the firmware-1.0.8.3.2-release.kt file from the IP Office. HTTP Redirection is used to redirect this request to the third-party HTTP file server hosting that file.
The avayab199.xml file is provided from the IP Office system.
3.
Installing Without a File Server
In this method of B199 installation, the IP Office system is not acting as a DHCP server and the customer's DHCP server does not redirect the new B199 phones to a file server.
