Firmware Update Changes
When upgrading an 8620, 8622, or 8662 endpoint, use the following version strings. For
instructions on how to update firmware, see “Updating Firmware” below.
• From 1.01S to 1.0.31
86xx_image_ver: 1.0.31 (where the 86xx indicates the model type, such as 8622)
86xx_image_url: 192.168.200.202/86xx/86xx_1_0_31.bin
• From 1.01S or 1.0.31 to 1.0.33
86xx_image_ver: 1.0.33
86xx_image_url: 192.168.200.202/86xx/86xx_1_0_33.bin
• From 1.0.33 and earlier to 1.1.5
86xx_image_ver: HWID 1 1.1.5
86xx_image_url: 192.168.200.202/86xx/86xx_1_1_5.bin
If upgrading an 8622 from 1.01S to 1.1.5, use the following image version string:
8620_image_ver: 8620 HWID 1 1.1.5.
• From 1.1.5 and earlier to 2.0.06
86xx_image_ver: HWID 2 2.0.06
86xx_image_url: 192.168.200.202/86xx/86xx_2_0_06.bin
• For future releases (2.0 and later)
itphone_image_ver: v.v.vv (where v.v.vv indicates the firmware version, such as 2.0.06)
itphone_image_url: 192.168.200.202/itphone/itphone_v_v_vv.bin (where v_v_vv.bin
indicates the firmware version, such as 2_0_06)
After an endpoint is updated to v2.0.06 or later firmware, the 86xx_image_ver and _url
strings are no longer necessary. There are only two lines in the configuration files that
need to be modified (itphone_image_ver and itphone_image_url), and one image to be put
on the TFTP server to update all of the multi-protocol endpoints (excluding the Model
8690).
Updating Firmware
Always upgrade all multi-protocol IP endpoints to the latest firmware release. This will minimize
potential conflicts when installing new endpoints at an existing site. The multi-protocol IP
endpoint firmware is available at the Mitel edGe S
oftware Downloads (www.inter-tel.com/
software) Web site. You can update endpoints or other IP devices using any of the following:
• Onboard TFTP Server: The Mitel 5000 now includes a Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP) server to provide firmware downloads to the Mitel IP endpoints and Models 8600,
8620/22, and 8660/62 IP endpoints. See “Onboard TFTP Server” on page 5-149. The
Administrative Web Session interface is the mechanism used to get the firmware to the
endpoints, using the same method as to upgrade system software. Refer to the
instructions that accompany the endpoint-firmware package download.
• TFTP server. The Model 8690 endpoints use a TFTP server to update firmware, as in
prior releases. The TFTP server allows the endpoints to pull firmware updates from a
TFTP server automatically, rather than push firmware updates to individual endpoints.
• Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Download: Included with the IP devices CD-ROM,
or you can download it from the Mitel edGe Software Downloads (www.inter-tel.com/
software) Web site.
• Upload Utility: Included with DB Programming.
