Upgrading the System

Periodically, Verilink may provide new software that you will download to the IAD to upgrade the system. You must use TFTP to perform the file transfer when upgrading the entire system.

NOTE Some gateways directly support file transfer as a means of upgrading IADs. For information, refer to the Voice Gateway manufacturer’s operating manual.

To use TFTP, you must configure both the IAD and the computer that contains the TFTP Server program, a program that you license separately.

Using TFTP Servers via LAN or WAN

Before the IAD can access a LAN or Intranet-based TFTP server, you must configure the IP address of the Ethernet port (page 13) on the same subnet as your TFTP server, and the IAD must be connected to the LAN.

To access a WAN-based server, you must configure the T1/E1 or xDSL Interface with a management DLCI or PVC and a WAN IP address. For information about setting the IP address of the WAN port, see Chapter 6, WAN Configuration on page 51.

Copying the Source Files

Typically, you will receive two ZIP files (a core ZIP file and an application ZIP file) for each upgrade.

First, extract each file into a single directory on your PC. Then, set the directory as the path that the TFTP Server will use to send files to the IAD (often identified as upload/download or outbound directory).

Upgrading via TFTP

If your TFTP Server is not running, start it now and note the IP address of the computer it is running on. To upgrade the IAD software:
