268 Install PC - Upgrade DECT Messenger
This section applies to you if you have a release 4.0 environment and you
followed the installation instructions, upgrade instruction, or both. Also you
must covered “prerequisite” steps as well as other steps involved in setting
up release 4.0.
Naming conventions
At general availability of release 4.0, a CD-ROM was produced with the
naming convention "Nortel DECT Messenger - Release 4.0.0 - build
2008.04.23" The “4.0.0” indicates release 4.0 and the "0" indicates the
initial release. The “2008.04.23” refers to the internal release date of the
build of April 23, 2008.
The CD-ROM image contains a directory structure, with a subdirectory “08
- Updates - 2007.08.11”. This directory typically is empty at initial release.
Updates may be available in a future build of a next CD-ROM or through
ShareNet.
Applying updates
New updates are published in the subdirectory “08 - Updates -
YYYY.MM.DD” structure, where the date reveals the last update time.
If you used, for example build “2007.08.11” and the directory of a future
4.0.0 build has directory structure ““08 - Updates – 2007.12.31”, it indicates
between 2007.06.11 and 2007.03.31, some updates exist, and must be
applied.
The “08 – Updates – YYYY.MM.DD” directory contains one or more
subdirectories.
For example, a subdirectory can exist with name “2007.12.31 -
eKERNEL_4.0.1”. This indicates the update provides an update of
eKERNEL and introduces eKERNEL 4.0.1.
A “readme” file is typically available giving details on the implemented
changes. For example, eKERNEL 4.0.1 can state that is has been
enhanced to support a new interface to handle a new module “eFCS” to
interface with an add-on module “eFCS” towards a hospitality solution of
a specific customer.
Unless stated otherwise, replace the old version of the software with the
new version of the software. For example, replace eKERNEL 4.0.0 with
4.0.1. This usually involves the following actions.
• pausing the task manager
• ending the old program
