The software upgrade files are provided by 3Com or your authorized 3Com

 

 

reseller and must be installed using the following sequence of steps.

 

CAUTION: Upgrading software files on a gateway may cause the

 

gateway to reboot. Perform an upgrade in a service window only.

1The software to be upgraded MUST be located in the

<EMS_INSTALL_DIR>/software_upgrades/voice/GatewayUpgrades directory on the EMS server.

There are several types of software upgrade files. Each upgrade file must be placed in the above directory on the EMS server.

2Once the upgrade file is in the correct directory, from the Explorer tab, right-click on the media gateway.

3From the right-hand pane, click the Planned Upgrades tab.

A field appears for each software upgrade file you have copied to the GatewayUpgrades directory. The following figure shows the Planned Upgrades tab with a field for upgrading a CMP file.
