Centralized Automatic Software Upgrade

Centralized Automatic Software Upgrade allows a new version of software to be automatically loaded on the MG 1000S after the Call Server software is upgraded. To reduce service impact, a sequential upgrade mode upgrades only one MG 1000S at a time.

Centralized upgrade

Centralized upgrade enables the IP telephony components (Voice Gateway Media Cards) to be upgraded from the Element Manager interface. The Element Manager host, the Signaling Server, is a file server for software upgrade files for the Voice Gateway Media Cards. IP Phones also automatically upgrade from a centralized file location (their TPS).

Centralized patching

Centralized patching enables IP telephony components, the Call Server, and MG 1000S systems, to be patched from a central location through Element Manager.

File uploading

File uploading enables software upgrade files and patches to be uploaded to the Element Manager host, the Signaling Server, for centralized upgrading or centralized patching. The file is uploaded from the management PC (web browser) to the Element Manager host (web server).

Patching implementation

The Call Server, MG 1000S, Signaling Server, and the Voice Gateway Media Cards are patchable. Installing a patch enables a fix to be delivered, without requiring a new version of software.
