Problems with the 46xxsettings file on an S8300

[phonegoober]

hello all,

i am updating the version of IP phone code and the 46xxsettings file on the S8300 as it is serving as a TFTP server for one of our remote sites. I have the phone code loaded and verified on the TFTP directory, but for some reason, it won't take the 46xxsetttings.txt file. I tried to load it as a text file as well as created a .tar file that just contained the 46xxsettings file.

any thoughts? i am trying to use the newest version of code, ver 2.8.3.

thx

Yes, here is what you need to do, do this, and it WILL work:

On your DHCP Server Option 242, which looks like this:
MCIPADD=x.x.x.x,MCIPORT=1719,HTTPSRVR=y.y.y.y

Change this to:
MCIPADD=x.x.x.x,MCIPORT=1719,TLSSRVR=y.y.y.y

y.y.y.y would be the IP address of your S8300

Next, on your 46xxsettings.txt file, you MUST put in the line:
HTTPSRVR = y.y.y.y

Don't ask me to explain all of the logic behind this, but it does work. The S8300 uses ports 81 for HTTP and 411 for TLS (Secure), and by doing these 2 steps, it WILL work for you.

phonegoober,

This is what I do but if there is an easier way someone please advise.

1. Edit you 46xxsettings.txt and save it.
2. Download it to your S8300 thru the maintenance pages.
3. Telnet to your S8300 and log in.
4. change your working directory by typing
cd /var/home/ftp/pub

5. type ls and you should see the 46xxsettings.txt file there.
6. move it to the tftpboot directory by typing
mv 46xxsettings.txt /tftpboot

hope this helps.

Just noticed you are trying to update 4600 phones (R2.8.3), my advice was for 9600 phones.

thanks all. I have done this at several of our 8300's and had no problems. i copied and after it was successful, i was able to view the 46xxsettings file in the maint page via the web browswer and then make my edits from there. I will try the manual way as gonzalez mentions and advise.
thx
