Norstar Version - IP Office Info

5.1.7.4 Upgrade
This command starts the Upgrade Wizard tool. This tool is used to compare the software level of the control unit and
expansion modules within IP Office systems against the software level of the .bin binary files Manager has available. The
Upgrade Wizard can then be used to select which units to upgrade.
· WARNING
Incorrect use of the upgrade command can halt IP Office operation and render units in the system unusable. You
must refer to the IP Office Technical Bulletins for a specific release for full details of performing software upgrades
to that release.
· Performing any other actions on a system during an upgrade or closing the upgrade wizard and Manager during an
upgrade may render systems unusable.
· During an upgrade the IP Office system may restrict calls and services. It will reboot and disconnect all current calls
and services.
The list area shows details of IP Office systems found by the Upgrade Wizard and the software currently held by that
system. The Version column details the current software each unit in the systems is running whilst the Available column
shows the version of .bin file Manager has available for that type of unit (a – indicates no file available).
· The check boxes are used to select which units should be upgraded. Upgrading will require entry of a valid name
and password for the selected IP Office system.
· The Validate option should remain selected wherever possible. When selected, the upgrade process is divided as
follows: transfer new software, confirm transfer, delete old software, restart with new software. If Validate is not
selected, the old software is deleted before the new software is transferred.
· The Backup system files option will cause the IP500v2 to backup its memory card files as part of the upgrade.
· The Upload system files option will upload copies of the new system binaries to the unit's memory card.
