User's Manual 32. Software Upgrade

To install a Software License Key using the AcBootP utility:
1. Change the file extension name of the Software License Key file from .txt to .ini.
2. Place the Software License Key file in the same folder in which the device's cmp file is
located.
3. Start the AcBootP utility.
4. Click the Client Configuration tab, and then from the 'INI File' drop-down list, select
the Software License Key file.
5. From the 'BootP File' drop-down list, select the device's cmp file.
6. Configure the initial BootP/TFTP parameters as required, and then click Apply .
7. Reset the device; the cmp and Software License Key files are loaded to the device.
32.3 Software Upgrade Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard allows you to upgrade the device's firmware. The firmware
file has the .cmp file extension name. The wizard also enables you to load an
ini file and/or
auxiliary files (typically loaded using the Load Auxiliary File page described in 'Loading
Auxiliary Files' on page
369 ). However, it is mandatory when using the wizard to first load a
.cmp file to the device. You can then choose to also load an ini file and/or auxiliary files, but
this cannot be done without first loading a .cmp file. For the ini and each auxiliary file type,
you can choose to load a new file or not load a file but use the existing file (i.e., maintain
existing configuration) running on the device.
Warning: The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the device to be reset at the end of
the process, which may disrupt traffic. To avoid this, disable all traffic on the device
before initiating the wizard by performing a graceful lock (see 'Basic Maintenance' on
page
363 ).
Notes:
•
You can get the latest software files from AudioCodes Web site at
http://www.audiocodes.com/downloads.
•
Before upgrading the device, it is recommended that you save a copy of the
device's configuration settings (i.e.,
ini file) to your computer. If an upgrade failure
occurs, you can then restore your configuration settings by uploading the backup
file to the device. For saving and restoring configuration, see 'Backing Up and
Loading Configuration File' on page
388 .
•
If you wish to also load an ini or auxiliary file, it is mandatory to first load a .cmp
file.
•
When you activate the wizard, the rest of the Web interface is unavailable. After
the files are successfully loaded, access to the full Web interface is restored.
•
If you upgraded your .cmp and the "SW version mismatch" message appears in
the Syslog or Web interface, then your Software License Key does not support the
new .cmp file version. If this occurs, contact AudioCodes support for assistance.
•
If you use the wizard to load an ini file, parameters excluded from the ini file are
assigned default values (according to the .cmp file running on the device) thereby,
overriding values previously defined for these parameters.
•
You can schedule automatic loading of these files using HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, or
NFS (see 'Automatic Update' on page
389 ).
