PGRADING THE
VCX V7111
To upgrade the VCX V7111 (load new software or auxiliary files onto the VoIP gateway) use
the Software Update feature, available through the Embedded Web Server.
The ‘Software Update’ menu comprises two submenus:
ƒ Software Update Wizard (see “Software Upgrade Wizard”).
ƒ Auxiliary Files (see “Updating the Auxiliary Files” on page 54).
When you upgrade the VCX V7111 software you
must
load the new
cmp
file with
all other related configuration files: coefficient, Call Progress Tones, Voice Prompts
and Prerecorded Tones.
Software Upgrade Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard guides users through the process of software upgrade:
selecting files and loading them to the gateway. The wizard also enables users to upgrade
software while maintaining the existing configuration. Using the wizard obligates users to
load a
cmp
file. Users can choose to also use the Wizard to load the auxiliary files (e.g., Call
Progress Tones
)
but this option cannot be pursued without loading the
cmp
file. For the
auxiliary file type, users can choose to reload an existing file, load a new file or not load a file
at all.
The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the device to be reset at the end of the
process. This disrupts any traffic existing on the device. To avoid disruption,
disable all traffic on the device before initiating the Wizard.
To use the Software Upgrade Wizard, follow these steps:
1
Stop all traffic on the device (see the note above).
2
Open the ‘Software Upgrade Wizard’ (
Software Update
menu >
Software Upgrade
Wizard
); the ‘Start Software Upgrade’ screen appears.
