IP Office Essential Edition
SD Card Management:
6.1 Booting from the SD Cards
When being powered up, the IP500 V2 control unit look for valid ip500V2.bin file
to load in the following order.
1. System SD card /primary folder.
2. System SD card /backup folder.
3. Optional SD card /primary folder.
4. Optional SD card /backup folder.
·
If no file is found, the control unit will fallback to making BOOTP requests to the
network. IP Office Manager can respond the BOOTP request.
Once an ip500v2.bin file is found, the IP Office control unit will load that firmware and then continue its startup as
follows:
·
The folder from which the control unit file was loaded is used to load further firmware files for the the external
expansion modules and if necessary phones.
·
The folder from which the control unit file was loaded is used for the configuration file. If no configuration file is
already present in that folder, a default configuration file is created and placed into that folder.
·
The card from which the control unit file was loaded is used all other file operations including embedded voicemail if
being used.
The following apply if the IP500 V2 boots using software other than that in its System SD /primary folder:
·
An alarm will be shown in the System Status Application. It will also generate an alarm if the card in any slot is not
compatible. These alarms are also output as SNMP, Syslog or email alarms.
·
The IP Office Manager Select IP Office menu will display an
icon indicating that the IP Office system is running
using software other than from the System SD card's primary folder.
·
The configuration can be read but will be read only. Attempting to send a configuration to the system will cause the
error message Failed to save configuration data. (Internal error).
Bypassing the System SD Card Primary Folder
The control unit can be forced to bypass the System SD card's /primary folder when starting. This is done by pressing
the Aux button while applying power to the control unit.
This action may be necessary if, following an upgrade of the IP Office system, it is determined that a roll back to the
previously backed up firmware and configuration is required. Using the Aux button should restore system operation using
the /backup while the installer then restores the contents of the /primary folder to a previous release.
