The following requirements must be met to download firmware by over-the-air file transfer:

•Α wireless LAN must be properly configured and operational through the use of 802.11b SVP-compliant wireless APs.

•Τhe Nortel Networks WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 must be connected to the network and completely operational.

•Α TFTP Server must be available on the network to load the appropriate firmware into the wireless handsets.

•The ESSID (you can get this from the AP installer).

•The IP addresses of the WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 and TFTP server to configure the handsets.

•Τhe battery pack on the wireless handsets must be fully charged.

Downloading the firmware

1Download the latest WLAN Handsets 2210/2211 firmware (.zip file) from the Nortel Networks web site.

2Extract the three firmware files from the .zip file and place them on the TFTP Server. Ensure the TFTP Server is on before completing the following steps.

3If statically assigning IP addresses, ensure that the wireless handset IP address, TFTP Server IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway information are accurate in the Admin Menu of the wireless handset. If using a DHCP Server, ensure that the DHCP options are configured.

4Ensure the wireless handset has properly configured ESSID and Reg Domain Information within the Admin Menu. If broadcast ESSIDs are accepted at the APs, the handset automatically learns the ESSID information when powering on.

5Using the Admin Menu on the wireless handset, ensure the License Management menu option is set to 010. This ensures the handset will check for the proper UNIStim firmware files each time it powers on.

6Power on the wireless handset.

The firmware now downloads to the wireless handset. The status bar increments fully across the wireless handset display for each function that is being performed in the download process.

Upon completion of the update process, the wireless handset re-boots with the new firmware.

7Register the wireless handset with the BCM as if it were an IP Phone 2004.

8Properly label the wireless handset with the appropriate extension number.

For future firmware upgrades, simply update the firmware files that are stored on the TFTP Server. Each time the wireless handset is powered on, it checks with the TFTP Server to ensure it has the proper firmware version. It downloads the new firmware, when found.
