Upgrade Management Utilities and NETBuilder Upgrade Link

The remote upgrade process consists of providing customers with a reliable, easy, and clearly deﬁned way of upgrading their NETBuilder bridge/routers to a newer version of software and/or ﬁrmware. The following changes have been implemented in this release:

	■ Default support for upgrades from 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, or 11.0 to version 11.1
	■ Support for FTP ﬁle transfers
	■ Named backup and restores
	■ Improved Upgrade Link user interface with the following:
		■	FTP ﬁle transfers
		■	Stage control
		■ Ability to delete old packages
		■ Ability to run in client/server mode
	See “NETBuilder Upgrade Management Utilities” on page 30 for more
	information and Upgrading NETBuilder Family Software for Upgrade Link
	operating instructions.
	Flash Load
	The prior (software versions 11.0 and earlier) ﬂash load process was limited to
	formatting the on-board Flash PROM ﬁle storage and copying the bundle image to
	the ﬁrmware and the NETBuilder core boot ﬁle onto the ﬁle system. With the
	introduction of Web, this process needed to be modiﬁed to include ﬂash copying
	all the appropriate Web Link ﬁles as well. This feature allows for multiple ﬁle
	loading support with the ﬂash load command. This functionality is limited to the
	OfﬁceConnect NETBuilder and SuperStack II SI NETBuilder bridge/router platforms.

New Features	This section provides application notes for the following features:
Application Notes	■ Data over Voice (B-Channel ISDN Speciﬁcation)

	■	Digi64S2
	■	ASCII Boot
Placing a Data Over	In many areas, voice calls over ISDN are charged at a lower rate than data calls.
Voice Call	This release of software allows you to specify that calls to a given number be
	established as voice calls. This feature is sometimes referred to as a TollSaver

capability. Telephone companies often refer to this type of call as Switched 56 Permissive. The answering device must be capable of generating the 2.1KHz tone
