Updating Base Station Firmware

Last Updated : Mar 25, 2013 |

About this task

The base station may need to be upgraded to match the software version supplied for use with the IP Office. The base station software consists of two parts, a firmware file and a boot file. All base stations in a DECT system should use the same version of software.

Procedure

  1. Browse into the base station configuration and note the software levels shown by the Version line.




  2. Check that these match the versions supplied with the IP Office administration software.

    Ensure that you are checking against the correct folder for an IPBS1, IPBS2 or IPBS3 base station. If they do not match, you must upgrade the base station.





    If both software files need to be upgraded, the boot file should be upgraded first.

  3. In the left-hand column, under the Administration menu, select Update and then select the Boot tab.




  4. Click on the Browse button and browse to the IP Base Station sub-folder of the Avaya Wireless DECT software.
  5. Select the appropriate boot file for the upgrade you are performing.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Click on the Upload button.

    The browser shows the progress of the upload and upgrade. It will indicate when the process has been completed.





  8. If necessary, repeat the process to upgrade remaining base stations.
  9. To upgrade the base station firmware file, select Update and then select the Firmware tab.




  10. Click on the Browse button and browse to the IP Base Station sub-folder of the Avaya Wireless DECT software you previously extracted onto the programming PC.
  11. Select the appropriate firmware file for the upgrade you are performing,
  12. Click OK.
  13. Click on the Upload button.

    The browser shows the progress of the upload and upgrade. It will indicate when the process has been completed.

  14. Click on Reset.
  15. Log in again. The General > Info tab should now list the new firmware.

    If necessary:

    • Repeat the process for the remaining base stations using the Update > Firmware menu.

    • Update the base station firmware for base stations that will connect to an IP DECT Gateway using the Update > RFPs menu.
