Upgrading the AIWS Firmware

About this task

The AIWS is supplied with a default set of firmware. This must be upgraded to the firmware version provided with the IP Office application software. Only the firmware supplied with the IP Office application software or indicated in IP Office Technical Bulletin should be used with AIWS units on IP Office.Avaya Wireless DECT systems.

By using a USB memory stick with a Boot software (autoupdate.bin), the module can be upgraded on the field.

Procedure

  1. Insert the USB memory stick in the upper USB connector marked 1.
  2. Perform a controlled restart via the Restart button, by pressing the button and releasing it within 4 seconds.

    The Status LED indicates shutting down with quick flashing blue light. Before starting up again, the Status LED will indicate “waiting” for one minute with flashing yellow light.

  3. When the Status LED indicates starting up with quick flashing blue light , press the Mode button within 3 seconds.

    The Mode button should indicate boot mode by showing fixed blue light.

Result

The module now detects the memory stick and begins the upgrade process which is indicated by the Status LED with fixed yellow light . The upgrading process takes approximately 7-8 minutes.

After the upgrade process has finished, the module will continue and start up the last used application software. The complete operation may take up to 10 minutes.

To verify a successful upgrade, you can put the USB stick back in your PC and open the file autoupdate.log. In the end of that file, you should see the text “Upgrade finished successfully”.

Note:

If the USB memory stick contains faulty Boot software, the module will start up in Boot Mode.
