200 Digital Telephone IP Adapter Installation and Administration Guide
Administration Standard 2.1
Automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade
When you configure the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit to perform an
automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade using the Auto Upgrade
Configuration property sheet, the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit queries the
predefined TFTP server and upgrades the firmware automatically. Refer to
“Auto upgrade configuration” on page 133 for further details.
Nortel recommends the following when performing an automatic or scheduled
firmware upgrade:
1Complete the procedures in “Before you begin” on page 197 prior to
configuring the automatic or scheduled upgrade.
2Complete the procedures in “Creating a backup configuration file” on page
159 before performing an automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade.
Note: The automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade only performs upgrades on
the Remote Gateway 9100 Series units you configure on the Auto Upgrade
Configuration property sheets. In order for the automatic or scheduled firmware
upgrade to complete, place the ro-ver.txt file in the same TFTP server directory
as you place the .upg file.
