SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway Administration Guide
Updating Wireless Telephone Software
| SpectraLink handsets allow |
| from the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway or designated TFTP |
| server to the handsets. |
| The downloader function in the handset checks its software version |
| every time the handset is turned on. If there is any discrepancy in the |
| functional code (pdt02c.bin or pft02c.bin or pd11spc.bin or |
| pdt06c.bin) or the image (phintl.bin or phintl24.bin) the handset |
| immediately begins to download the update. |
| You may use the Checkout all phones option in the Gateway |
| Configuration menu to update all handsets. If the TFTP server is on a |
| PC, this command may be used to upgrade each handset without |
| having to reset the Gateway. This command forces all the handsets on |
| the system to check in with the Gateway. They will check their |
| current software version against the version stored on the TFTP |
| server and download if needed. Any handset in a call will perform |
| their checkout after the call has been completed. |
| Normal download messages |
| When the handset is powered on, it displays a series of messages |
| indicating that it is searching for new software, checking the versions, |
| and downloading. The normal message progression is: |
|
|
Message | Description |
Checking | Handset is contacting the Download Master to determine if it has a newer version of |
Code | software that should be downloaded. |
Erasing | Handset has determined that a download should occur and is erasing the current |
Memory | software from memory. This message also displays a progress bar. When the progress |
| bar fills the display line the erase operation is complete. |
Updating | Handset is downloading new software into memory. The number icons at the bottom of |
Code | the display indicate which file number is currently being downloaded. This message |
| also displays a progress bar. When the progress bar fills the display line the update |
| operation is complete on that file. |
| While the handset is updating, the NO SVC message displays, and the |
| handset should NOT be powered off. |
| When the update is complete, the handset displays the extension |
| number, and is ready for use. |
