Restart IP Phones
If selected, following the upgrade and reboot, all Avaya IP phones are also restarted. This will cause them to
recheck whether the firmware they currently have loaded matches that on their configured file server. Use
this option if the IP Office system is the file server and the upgrade included new IP phone firmware.
6. Select Upgrade. The system password for each system will be requested. Enter it and click OK. The next steps
depend on the upgrade options selected. Do not cancel or close the upgrade wizard while these processes are
running.
·
Validated Upgrade
If using the Validated option, a number of actions take place as follows;
a. The upgrade wizard checks the amount of free RAM memory available in the control unit to temporarily
store the new BIN files. If insufficient memory is available, you will be prompted whether to continue with
an off-line upgrade or cancel upgrading.
·
If offline is selected, the IP Office is rebooted into offline mode. It may be necessary to use the
Refresh option within the Upgrade Wizard to reconnect following the reboot. Validate upgrade can
then be attempted to again check the amount of available RAM memory for transfer of BIN files. If
the memory is still insufficient, the option is offered to either do an unvalidated upgrade or cancel.
b. The bin files required are transferred to the system and stored in temporary memory.
c. The backup system files and upload system files actions are performed if they were selected.
d. Once all file transfers are completed, the upgrade wizard will prompt whether it okay to proceed with the
upgrade process. Select Yes to continue. The control unit reboots and upgrades itself first. It then
proceeds with upgrading the external expansion modules.
·
Unvalidated Upgrade
This method of upgrading should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. It is only required for IP Office
systems with pre-2.1 software and should only be done from a IP Office Manager PC with a fixed IP address
running on the same LAN segment and subnet as the IP Office system. During the upgrade, the units and
modules erases their current software and then request the new software file from IP Office Manager.
7. Following the upgrade check that the upgrade wizard now shows that the selected units and modules have
upgraded. It may be necessary to select Refresh to update the information in the upgrade wizard display.
8. Repeat the process as required.
