Enhanced UNIStim Firmware Download for IP Phones
CS 1000 Release 4.5 introduces the Enhanced UNIStim Firmware Download
for IP Phones feature. This feature provides an improved method of
delivering new firmware for Nortel IP Phones.
Specifically, this feature introduces the following functionality:
• Enhanced firmware file header that includes the IT_TYPE and name
string for each IP Phone type. Element Manager and the LTPS can read
this information and automatically display the mapping to the
administrator.
• Revised definition of the IP Client’s IP Phone identification.
• Maximum number of simultaneous firmware downloads from the
Signaling Server’s UNIStim FTP (UFTP) server is 100.
• New Maintenance Mode for the Signaling Server that allows even more
simultaneous firmware downloads from the UFTP server.
• Maintenance Mode (Turbo Mode) that is manually initiated by the
administrator in which pre-marked node Signaling Servers utilize all
possible resources for processing firmware upgrade jobs.
Note: Turbo Mode is not applicable to Voice Gateway Media Cards.
• Improved identification of the registered IP Phones using string names
and providing more detailed identification of telephones that register as
emulations of the base IP Phone 2001/2002/2004 types
• UNIStim IP Phones are allowed to register with an older version of
firmware if the UFTP servers are busy, then periodically offers the option
to start the firmware upgrade to the IP Phone’s user.
• Introduction of missing firmware file retrieval to the Branch Office from
the Main Office.
This new functionality requires a Signaling Server to be present in the node.
Without a Signaling Server, as in the Meridian 1, the only firmware files
available for downloading are the three available in CS 1000 Release 4.0 for
the Phase 0/1/2 IP Phones type 2001/2002/2004.
