Upgrading the Wave Server
Wave software upgrades are distributed in a cabinet (CAB) file, a compressed archive that
includes all of the files required for the upgrade.
Obtaining a CAB file
You can obtain an upgrade CAB file in either of the following ways:
• Via an Upgrade CD that you obtain from your Wave provider.
• By downloading the upgrade CAB file from the Vertical Web site.
For information about a specific upgrade, see the Release Notes included with that base release,
HotFix, or Service Pack.
Upgrading the Wave Server consists of the following:
• Uploading the CAB file to the Wave Server. See “Uploading a CAB file” on page 23-6.
• Performing the upgrade. See “Performing an upgrade” on page 23-8.
Scheduling an upgrade
You can choose to perform the upgrade immediately after the upload, or you can upload at one
time (for example, during your lunch hour), and then upgrade later when the system is not in use.
• Uploading does not interrupt phone or data services running on the Wave Server.
• The upgrade process includes multiple system restarts, so you should schedule your
upgrade so that normal phone service will not be interrupted.
Uploading a CAB file
Before you can perform an upgrade, you must upload the CAB file to the Wave Server and add
it to the Upgrade List (the list of upgrades that will be performed).
