Chapter 4: Hardware and software
installation
All hardware components should be turned off while they are installed and connected. Once the installation
is complete, the system is turned on. The control unit will then upgrade all of the connected components,
including phones, to the appropriate level of firmware. In addition, when the system is turned on, it should
not be connected to the customer's data network. This ensures that the control unit will default to known
default IP address settings (unless you have pre-loaded the System SD card with a configuration file with
different settings).
