Upgrading the ISDN gateway

If you need to upgrade the firmware or activate features on the ISDN gateway, refer to these topics:

● Upgrading the Main ISDN gateway Software Image

● Upgrading the Loader Software Image

● Enabling ISDN gateway features

Upgrading the Main ISDN gateway Software Image

The main ISDN gateway software image is typically the only firmware component that you will need to upgrade.

Follow these steps to upgrade this image:

1. Check the Current version field to verify the currently installed version.

2. Log onto the

Codian support pages to identify if a more recent image is available.

3. Download the latest available image and save it to a local hard drive.

4. Unzip the image file.

5. Log on to the ISDN gateway web browser interface.

6. Go to Home > Settings > Upgrade.

7. Click on the Browse button to locate the unzipped file on your hard drive.

8. Click the Upload software image button. The browser begins uploading the file to the ISDN gateway, and a

new browser window opens to indicate the progress of the upload. When finished, the browser window

refreshes and indicates that the "Main imagine upgrade completed."

9. Shutdown and restart the ISDN gateway (see

Shutting Down the ISDN gateway).

Upgrading the Loader Software Image

Upgrades for the Loader software image are as frequently available as upgrades to the main software image.

Follow these steps to upgrade this image:

1. Check the Current version field to verify the currently installed version.

2. Log onto the

Codian support pages to identify if a more recent image is available.

3. Download the latest available image and save it to a local hard drive.

4. Unzip the image file.

5. Click on the Browse button to locate the unzipped file on your hard drive.

6. Click the Upload loader software button. The browser begins uploading the file to the ISDN gateway, and a

new browser window opens to indicate the progress of the upload. When finished, the browser window

refreshes and indicates that the "Loader upgrade completed."

7. Shutdown and restart the ISDN gateway (see Shutting Down the ISDN gateway).

Enabling ISDN gateway features

The ISDN gateway requires activation before calls can be placed through it. If the ISDN gateway had not yet been

activated, the banner at the top of the web interface will show a prominent warning; in every other respect the web

interface will look and behave normally.

If this is a new ISDN gateway you should receive the unit already activated; if it is not, you have upgraded to a newer

firmware version, or you are enabling a new feature, you may need to contact Codian or your supplier to obtain an

appropriate activation code. Activation codes are unique to a particular ISDN gateway so ensure you know the unit's

serial number such that you may receive a code appropriate to your ISDN gateway.

Regardless of whether you are activating the ISDN gateway or enabling an advanced feature, the process is the same:

1. Check the Activated features (ISDN gateway activation is shown in this same list) to confirm that the feature

you require is not already activated.

2. Enter the new feature code into the Activation code field exactly as you received it, including any dashes.

3. Click the Update features button. The browser window should refresh and list the newly activated feature,
