3.7 Upgrading the Device
You can upgrade the device with the following files:
 Firmware (cmp) file using the Web interface's Software Update Wizard (refer to
‘Upgrading Firmware’ on page 49).
 Auxiliary and ini files usi
ng the Web interface's 'Load Auxiliary Files' page (refer to
'Upgrading the ini and Auxiliary Files' on page 53).
Note: When upgrading the firmware (cmp), you can also use the Software Update
Wizard to load the ini and auxiliary files.
3.7.1 Upgrading Firmware
The Software Upgrade Wizard allows you to easily upgrade the device's firmware (cmp
file). The wizard can also be used to load an ini file and/or auxiliary files (e.g., Call Progress
Tones). however, this can only be done if a cmp file is also loaded to the device at the
same time. For the ini and each auxiliary file type, you can choose to load a new file, or not
load a file but use the existing file (i.e., maintain existing configuration) running on the
device.
Warnings:
• Before upgrading the device, it is recommended that you save a copy of
the device's configuration settings (i.e., ini file) to your PC. If an upgrade
failure occurs, you can then restore your configuration settings by
uploading the backup file to the device. For backing up and restoring
configuration, refer to 'Backing Up and Restoring Configuration' on page
47.
• The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the device to be reset at the end
of the process, which may disrupt traffic. To avoid this, disable all traffic
on the device before initiating the wizard, by performing a graceful lock
(refer to 'Saving Configuration and Resetting the Device' on page 44).
Notes:
• Before you can load an ini or auxiliary file, you must first load a cmp file.
• When you activate the wizard, the rest of the Web interface is
unavailable. After the files are successfully loaded, access to the full Web
interface is restored.
• You can schedule automatic loading of these files using HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP, or NFS (refer to the Product Reference Manual).
