• You can view an IP Office system's files by entering https:// followed by the system address, then /, and then the file name. For example: https://192.168.0.42/46xxsettings.txt
  • Note: Viewing the files in a browser is not supported if the IP Office system has SystemSystemAvaya HTTP Clients Only enabled.
• You can view both auto-generated and static files using the method above.
• Auto-generated files are ephemeral. The IP Office creates the file when requested and deletes it after delivery.
• The existence of a static file overrides creating of an auto-generated file of the same name.
  • For the 46xxsettings.txt file, Avaya strongly recommend that you let the IP Office auto-generate the file. Avaya recommend that you put any custom settings in a 46xxspecials.txt file.
• For IP Office operation, Avaya only supports settings listed as supported by IP Office and by the phone/client with which you are using the setting.

How the phones/clients use the settings:

• If a setting is not included in the settings files, the phones or clients assumes the default value.
• If a setting is included in the settings files, the IP phone/client applies the setting if supported.
• If a previously sent setting is removed from subsequent settings files:
  • Phones return to assuming the setting's default value.
  • Clients continue using the previously received setting value. To default settings values used by clients, you must send a settings file containing either the specific default value or " " as an empty value.
