Software Maintenance
The SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones use proprietary
software programs written and maintained by Polycom Corporation.
The software versions that are running on the handsets can be
displayed during power on by holding down the

button.
Firmware
Version
is also an option on the Config menu.
Polycom Customer Service or an authorized dealer will provide
information about software updates and how to obtain the software
(for example, downloading from a website).
After software updates are obtained, they must be transferred to the
appropriate provisioning server located on the LAN to update the
code used by the Wireless Telephone.
The handset allows over-the-air transfer of software updates from the
provisioning server to the handsets. The download function in the
Wireless Telephone checks its software version every time the
handset is powered on, when the TFTP server is active. If there is a
different version available, the handset immediately begins to
download the update.

discrepancy the handset immediately begins to download the update.
