Chapter8 Upgrading the Cisco ATA Signaling Image
Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually
Syntax
ata186us [-any] {-h[host_ip]} {-p[port]} {-quiet} [-d1 -d2 -d3] <image file>
Definitions
•-any—Allow upgrade regardless of software and build versions (recommended).
•-h[host_ip]—Set the upgrade server to a specific IP address in cases where there may be more
than one IP address for the host. The default behavior is that the program will use the first IP address
it obtains when it runs the gethostbyname command.
•-p[port]—Set the server port to a specific port number (the default port number is 8000; use a
different port number only if you are setting up an upg rade server other than the default).
•-quiet—Quiet mode; send all output to log file named as [port].log (useful when running the
upgrade server as a daemon).
•-d1,-d2,-d3—Choose a verbosity level for debugging, with -d3 being the most verbose.
•image file—This is the name of the signaling image file to which the CiscoATA will upgrade.
Example
To upgrade the Cisco ATA to the signaling image ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup, you can use the following
syntax:
ata186us -any -d1 ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup
Upgrade Procedure and Verification
To perform the upgrade, follow these steps:
Procedure to Upgrade Signaling Image
Step 1 Run the executable file (see the “Syntax” section on page8-4) from the Microsoft Windows DOS or
command prompt. You will receive instructions on how to upgrade.
Step 2 On the Cisco ATA, press the function button to invoke the voice configuration menu.
Step 3 Using the telephone keypad, enter the following:
100# ip_address_of_PC * port #
This is the IP address of the PC and the port number at the DOS prompt where you invoked the
ata186us.exe file.
For example, if the IP address is 192.168.1.10, and the por t number is 8000 (the default), then enter:
100#192*168*1*10*8000#
When the upgrade is complete, the "Upgrade Successful" prompt will sound.
Note When upgrading many Cisco ATAs manually, you can save the software-upgrade dial-pad sequence in
your telephone's speed-dial, and use this sequence repeatedly.
