Server Options for 1600 series firmware
by DougR on Dec.04, 2008, under Avaya, Best Practices, Documentation, IP Office, Windows
The new 1600 series phones are a value version of the 9600 series phones. The phones are different from the 4600 based phones that have been used in the past. The first difference is that the phones use the SSON (Site Specific Option Number) 272 in DHCP to set the options for the phone. The second difference deals with how the phone firmware is updated.
Traditionally phones contacted a server via TFTP to download firmware and settings files. The 1600 and 9600 series phones use HTTP. This offers several advantages and makes administration a bit more main stream. Here are a few options for the HTTP server required for these phones.

Well I had to come off the excitement of serving on jury duty to write about what is likely some of the best news to hit Avaya IP Office users this year. Firmware version 4.2(4) was just released on Monday, Aug 11th. Now, in the past the knee jerk reaction was if the release was less than (10) it was not worth messing with. I have to say that with the new Avaya System Verification and all the testing that went into this new code train, the 4.2 release looks very stable. Combine that with the above par feature set, and IP Office is the best option for any small or medium business. Read more to look at some of the new features and links to downloads…
