UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
Update Base Station
Firmware
IP4100 Install Sept., 2013
Before starting an update, ensure that the TFTP Server is running.
• Each base station uses the DECT RF channels to download new
firmware files to its handsets, and it can only update handsets that are
registered to it.
• Each update session takes approximately one hour but, in some
cases may take up to three hours. The base station will complete one
session before starting a new one.
• A base station in a single cell system can update 10 handsets in a
single session (because there are 10 available RF channels), so
Handsets 1 through 10 are updated in session 1, Handsets 11
through 20 are updated in the second session, etc.
• In a multi-cell system, each base station can update 8 handsets in a
session, but all base stations can perform update sessions at the
same time. If you distribute the handset registrations across different
base stations in the same system, you will reduce the amount of time
needed for firmware updates.
1. Login to the base station configuration interface (refer to
STATION" on page
Figure 1-26).
2. Under the Update handsets section, enter the last 3 digits of the
firmware filename in the Required version field. The required version
identifies the firmware file containing the update; for example, if you
want to update the handsets to the firmware file
PegasusSW_4181_v0306.fwu, enter 306 in the Required version
field.
3. Click Save. The download will automatically start to any base stations
with registered handsets that are not at the required version.
You can see the progress of the handset update on the Extensions
screen. The FWU Progress column shows the status of the firmware
update for the handset registered to each extension.
4. Click on Extensions. When the update status is Complete (not 100%)
and version displayed, for all stations, is the same as the value
entered in Step 2 above the update process is finished.
5. When the update process is finished Under the Update handsets
section, enter 0 in the Required version field.
Updating base station firmware involves an automatic reboot of the base
station at the end of the firmware download. This will drop any active
calls. It is recommended to perform this update after normal business
hours.
Before starting an update, ensure that the TFTP Server is running.
1. Backup the the configuration and save to a PC before starting the
next step. In the Configuration menu select Save.
