Software Maintenance
SpectraLink 8002 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
END
key.
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).
Upgrading handsets
After software updates are obtained from Polycom, they must be
transferred to the appropriate location in the LAN to update the code
used by the handsets.
SpectraLink 8002 Wireless Telephones allow over-the-air transfer of
software updates from the designated TFTP server to the handsets.
The downloader function in the handset checks its software version
every time the handset is turned on. If there is any discrepancy the
handset immediately begins to download the update.
Normal download messages
When the handset is powered on, it displays a series of messages
indicating that it is searching for new software, checking the versions,
and downloading. The normal message progression is:
Message
Description
Checking Code
Handset is contacting the TFTP server to determine if it has a newer version of
software that should be downloaded.
Erasing Memory
Handset has determined that a download should occur and is erasing the current
software from memory. This message also displays a progress bar. When the
progress bar fills the display line the erase operation is complete.
