Upgrading firmware and loadware

Last Updated : Jan 04, 2023 |
Device Adapter supports the upgrade of UNIStim IP and digital phone firmware and Media Gateway Controller loadware. However, Unistim phones cannot upgrade from loadware in the VO logged-out state. Phones not upgraded before migration are automatically upgraded the first time they register with the Device Adapter. Device Adapter is configured with the current version of firmware for each type of supported phone.
The following table lists the exact firmware version Device Adapter applies to each UNIStim phone model:
Model

Upgrades are performed using the UFTP protocol. Device Adapter does not provide a built-in TFTP server.
Important:
A two-step upgrade may be required for some 1120E and 1140E IP desk phones. 1120E and 1140E IP desk phones using firmware earlier than 0624C1B and 0625C1B must first be upgraded to this firmware version or newer using CS 1000 before they accept the upgraded firmware from Device Adapter. Avaya recommends upgrading to 0624C3G and 0625C3G firmware for this intermediary step.
Note:
Device Adapter upgrades of UNIStim phone firmware can be disabled using CLI commands or through the Device Adapter management screens in System Manager.
Note:
Avaya strongly recommends upgrading the firmware of 39XX phones to version 7.65 before migrating to Device Adapter. CS 1000 provides functionality for system-wide scheduled upgrades of digital phones. This speeds the migration and deployment of 39XX phones into the Device Adapter solution. After migrating to Device Adapter, 39XX phones can only be upgraded on a phone-by-phone basis.
39XX phones with firmware Release 25.40 or later can patch the present release and then download the 7.65 firmware.
