Provisioning the FTP update server 39
If the IP Phone 1535 reaches a [software version] folder and finds the FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file is the same version number as the folder in which it resides, the IP Phone will consider itself updated fully and never go looking for folders that contain newer versions. Thus,
it is extremely important to the Update process for you to place the FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file for any new firmware version you receive into the folder for the previous update version - otherwise, the IP Phone 1535 will not update itself.
ATTENTION
In order to maintain an unbroken sequence between one version of an available firmware updates and the next, it is very important that when you place the newest available FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file into the folder for the previous update version, you DO NOT forget to move, in turn, the FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file for the previous version to the folder of the update previous to that folder.
For example: You receive an update package for firmware version
0.9.44.To point the IP Phone to the new update folder, you place the
0.9.44FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file to the folder for 0.9.42. The FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file for version 0.9.42 does not get destroyed, however, but moved to the folder for version 0.9.41, and so on.
As an added note, be sure and keep a copy of the FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file for the latest version in the latest version folder, so that the IP Phone 1535 will determine itself to be current after reaching that folder.
For example: For the firmware version 0.9.44, you would copy the 0.9.44 FirmwareUpdateRequest.acfg file into the 0.9.42 folder (as above), and also leave a copy in the 0.9.44 folder. Then, when the IP Phone 1535 reaches the
0.9.44folder, it uses this file to determine that this is the final version available and completes its update process.
