TECHNICAL REFERENCE & INSTALLATION GUIDE

The IPV10's main software is saved as a compressed Flash image in the memory
accompanying the CPU module. When the PBX initially starts running, it first loads
the operating system into RAM memory from the compressed Flash memory, runs
it, and then the system switches to its normal operating mode.
The system does not run any special software on its capacity expansion cards; all
operations are controlled by the main processor. This results in a simpler and more
reliable structure, perfect for a small or medium sized system.
System software updates do not require any changing of chips. There are two
options when considering updates to system software:
1) The version of the software may be changed along with replacing the CPU
module. However, this is a pretty expensive approach.
2) Alternatively, software can be uploaded remotely without interfering with the
system's normal operation by simply connecting to an IP network. This is
cheaper, much more reliable and faster as it does not require any stopping of
the system. So this method is recommended.
IMPORTANT
The system software can be updated while the PBX continues to run.
