The auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt settings files are suitable for most installations, see File Auto-Generation. However, in some scenarios it may be necessary to amend the value of the file settings or to add additional settings. This can be done in a number of ways:
Use a 46xxspecials.txt File:
If a file called 46xxspecials.txt is present on the system, then the auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt file instructs the phone to request that file. This allows you to upload a special file that contains any additional settings or override selected settings in the auto-generated file. See 46xxspecials.txt.
The 46xxspecials.txt file is supported for the Avaya Workplace Client for IP Office R11.1.2.4 and higher.
Use NoUser Source Numbers:
There are a number of NoUser source number settings that can be used to add special values to the auto-generated settings file. See NoUser source numbers.
Using Static Files:
Replace the auto-generated file with an actual file. The method is only recommended for those experienced with the editing of Avaya phone settings files. The major drawback is that you no longer benefit from the automatic changing of settings to match changes in the IP Office configuration. See Configuration File Editing.
The following are some of the frequently used additional commands. For full details of commands available refer to the appropriate Avaya administrator's manual for the particular series of phones.
Description

For Avaya Workplace Client on PCs and Vantage phones, L100 headsets can be used to control calls. This is enabled/disabled through the phone settings. This setting is automatically enabled in the auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt file.
SET AUDIO_DEVICE_CALL_CONTROL_ENABLED 1
There are several NoUser source numbers used for remote extension. They operate differently in that they change existing values in the auto-generated settings file given to a phone when the system detects that the phone requesting the file is a remote extension. Refer to the Deploying Remote IP Office SIP Phones with an ASBCE manual.
