Prolog information
Avaya J100 Series IP Phones support SIP and H.323 protocols. The signaling protocol specifies the phone software and controls the upgrade file request for a phone restart or reset.
Use one of the following options to set or update the signaling protocol:
  • The phone administration menu.
  • The SIG parameter in the 46xxsettings.txt file.
  • The DHCP option, Option 242 or Option 43.
When you change the signaling protocol, the phone retains configuration parameters, such as Group and SSON.
