  • Firmware files (XXX.bin, it's recommended to mount the firmware file to upgrade the phone for the first-time provisioning.)

Add option 242 on your own DHCP server (Not PBX).

This is example of the ISC DHCP server on Ubuntu.

Option 242:

option avaya-242 code 242 = string;
subnet 192.168.29.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.29.160 192.168.29.175;

option avaya-242 "HTTPSRVR=192.168.29.32,HTTPDIR=/,SIG=2";
}
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

The value of option 242 is: HTTPSRVR=192.168.29.32,HTTPDIR=,HTTPPORT=80,SIG=2
