You can instruct the J100 phones to regularly check for any updates to their firmware and settings files.

Enabling the default upgrade settings

For IP Office R11.1 FP2 and higher, you can add the NoUser source number ENABLE_J100_AUTO_UPDATE_POLICY to the IP Office system configuration (see NoUser source numbers).
  • This adds the following commands to the auto-generated 46xxsettings.txt file:
    SET AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_POLICY 1
    SET AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_REBOOT_PROMPT 1
    These instruct the phones to:
    • Poll the server daily for updated settings or firmware. The default is for this to occur between 02:00 and 04:00.
    • Show a reboot prompt to the user to allow or cancel the update.

Changing the upgrade settings

You can add upgrade policy settings to a 46xxspecials.txt file on the IP Office system. If used, these settings override the default upgrade settings above if enabled.
The possible settings are:
Command
Description
AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_POLICY
Sets the frequency of the update checks:
  • 0 = Disabled (Default)
  • 1 = Daily
  • 2 = Weekly
  • 3 = Monthly
AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_WINDOW
Sets the hours during which phones check for updates. The actually time within this period is determined randomly by each individual phone.
  • If this command is not specified, the default is to update between 02:00 and 04:00.
  • To specify a different period, set the start hour and end hour with a comma between them. For example:
    • AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_WINDOW 3,4 sets the update period to between 03:00 to 04:00.
    • AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_WINDOW 3,3 or similar sets the update period to any time in the 24-hour period.
    • The period can run past midnight. For example, AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_WINDOW 20,4 sets the update period to between 20:00 on the first day and 04:00 on the next day.
AUTOMATIC_REBOOT_PROMPT
Set whether the user is prompted to allow the update.
  • 0 = Do not prompt the user. Update during the specified AUTOMATIC_UPDATE_WINDOW period or otherwise between 02:00 to 04:00.
  • 1 = Prompt the user to allow the update or cancel it. If canceled, the phone will prompt again following the next check for updates.
