Multiple Managers

BIN files from a different Manager than the one that started the upgrade process. Ensure that only one copy of
Manager is running when upgrading an Essential Edition - PARTNER® Version system.
Procedure: Upgrade Procedure
1. Using Manager, click
and receive the configuration from the Essential Edition - PARTNER® Version. If not

- PARTNER® Version admin tool screen. This action also confirms communication between the Manager PC and the
Essential Edition - PARTNER® Version.

be completed before upgrading any IP Office system.

and click Refresh if the expected modules are not shown.

and the software version of the .bin file that Manager has available.

unit or module is automatically selected.

is available the check box may have already been automatically ticked.
8. Select Upgrade.

11.Once all the files have been transferred, the upgrade wizard will prompt whether it okay to proceed with the
upgrade process. Select Yes to continue.

upgraded. It may be necessary to select Refresh to update the information in the upgrade wizard display.
5.7.3 Changing the IP Address Settings
By default the IP Office system name is set to match its MAC address. This can be changed to something more
distinctive.
When a new or defaulted IP Office is switched on, the control unit makes a DHCP requests for IP address settings on each
of its LAN interfaces (LAN1 and LAN2).
