Embedded File Management and SD Card Handling
In order to make it easier to manage
files on the SD card, the additional
option "Embedded File
Management" can be used.
Selecting Embedded File
Management initiates a connection
to an IP Office.

Embedded File Management: Formatting SD Card
WARNING
Avaya-supplied SD cards should not be formatted using any other method than the
format commands within IP Office Manager and IP Office System Status
Application. Formatting the cards using any other method will remove the feature
key used for IP Office licensing from the card.
LOCK
System SD
IPO MU-LAW PCS0X
700XXXXXX
FK 1234567890
This process will erase all existing files on the card.

SD Card Fundamentals
The SD card in the IP Office 500V2 serves
as the home for the Embedded Voicemail Program.
It is also a place to store several kinds of files:
All the prompts and voicemail messages in
Embedded Voicemail
Backup files
License files
The .bin (binary) files needed by phones and IP Office modules
The IP Phone startup script files such as 46xxsettings.txt and 9600upgr.scr
With the binary files stored on the SD card, the IP Office and its IP phones can be
independent from all other IT except the LAN. The IP Office can conduct its own
DHCP, TFTP and HTTP, and does not even need a Manager PC.
In this exercise, you will get familiar with file operations and locations you need
when working with the SD card.

Lab Object Overview
Lab Objective:
Verify that the old 46xxSettings.txt file in the SD card has been
replaced by a new version you have edited.
Lab Goal:
Become familiar with file locations in the SD card/file
management.
Gain experience with file operations with the SD card.
Get a first look at the 46xxSettings.txt file
Note:
Dependent on the lab you are working, this
exercise can be executed either on 500V2
or on Server Edition machines.

Exercise Introduction
In this lab you will locate one of the startup files
called 46xxsettings.txt, which is used by IP
Office IP phones to get initial settings.
Using Microsoft WordPad or Notepad, edit two
of the many settings in this long script file:
– Set the phones to select an outside line when 9
is pressed
– Set the IP phone screensaver timeout from 4
hours to 1.
Finally, you will use the Embedded File
Management function in Manager to overwrite
the existing 46xxsettings.txt with your edited
version, and confirm that it has been replaced.

Debrief about Lab
Review each of the steps from the Lab. What
worked, what did not work, what were the
challenges?
Do a round table discussion with all students
for any additional questions and further
discussion points.
What you have learned is:
Get practice with editing 46xxSettings.txt
File locations in the Manager PC and in the
SD card
File operations using the Manager’s
Embedded File Management feature

Debrief about Lab - optional
46xxsettings.txt:
4600, 5600, 1600, 9600 and other IP phones read this file whenever they boot up,
in both CM and IP Office environments.
There are many settings in this file, such as
for VPN, that are only settable in this file or
on the phone itself. Some, like the website
address to be displayed on the phone here,
are only in the settings.txt file.
It is a little known fact that with this file you
can define groups of phones with special
settings for different groups of users.
Your familiarity with this file can separate you from the rest.
