SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway Administration Guide

Updating Wireless Telephone Software

 

SpectraLink handsets allow over-the-air transfer of software updates

 

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

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.
