The SpectraLink 6020 Wireless Telephones use proprietary software
programs written and maintained by Polycom. The software versions
that are running on the handsets can be displayed during power on
by holding down the END button. If using the Handset Administration
Tool, the version displays under the Firmware tab in the handset ver
window.
Obtaining software updates
Polycom Customer Service or an authorized dealer will provide
information about software updates and how to obtain the software
(for example, downloading updates from a website.)
Upgrading handsets via the Handset Administration
Tool
See Chapter 4, section Software Updates.
Upgrading handsets via over-the-air downloading
(SpectraLink 6300 WTS only)
After software updates are obtained from Polycom, they must be
transferred to the SpectraLink 6300 MCU by Polycom Customer
Service or an authorized dealer.
With over-the-air downloading (OTAD), the download function in
the SpectraLink 6020 Wireless Telephone checks its software version
periodically during normal operation. If there is any discrepancy the
handset immediately begins to download the update from the MCU.
This normally takes less than a minute. During the download, the
downloader icon displays on the status bar. While memory is
being erased and reprogrammed Do Not Power Off displays in the text
area of the handset.
When the update is complete, the handset reboots. The handset
displays the extension number once it is ready for use.
