The media server displays a list of files in the FTP directory. Verify that the directory contains the
Communication Manager .tar.gz file you have uploaded, if any.

latest software file. (For example, 03.0.219.0-4925. Do not use the .tar.gz extension at the end of
the file name). Press Enter.
The system may initiate a software reset system 4. You must wait until the restart/reset has
