IP Office 8.0
Additional Processes: Upgrading the IP Office Software
7.7.1 Using the Upgrade Wizard
1. Ensure that you have a backup copy of the IP Office's configuration before performing this action. If a copy of the
configuration cannot be downloaded using Manager, check the Manager application directory for previously
downloaded configurations.
a. Use Manager to download an up to date copy of the configuration. If that is not possible, check in the Manager
application folder for a previous copy of the configuration.
b. Using IP Office Manager, select File | Open Configuration.
c. Using the Select IP Office Menu, locate and select the IP Office system. Click OK.
d. Enter the name and password for a service user account on that IP Office. Click OK. Manager will receive and
display the configuration from the IP Office.
·
If not already done, this action creates a BOOTP entry in Manager for the IP Office system.
·
This action also confirms communication between the Manager PC and the IP Office prior to any following
process.
e. Select File | Save Configuration As... and save a copy of the configuration file onto the PC.
2. Select File | Advanced | Upgrade. The UpgradeWiz is started and scans for IP Office modules using the Unit/
Broadcast address. Adjust this address and click Refresh if the expected control units are not shown.
2. The information displayed depends on the type of control unit.
·
For IP500 V2 control units
The current version of each IP Office .bin file held in the control units memory is shown. That is regardless of
whether that .bin file is currently being used by any module in the system.
·
For other control units
For the control unit and each external expansion module present in the system, the current version of software
installed is displayed.
3. The Version column indicates the current version of software installed. The Available column indicates the version
of software Manager has available. If the available version is higher, the check box next to that row is automatically
selected.
·
If any of the modules have pre-version 2.1 software installed, an upgrade with Validate unticked is required.
If this is the case, only continue with the upgrade process using a PC with a fixed IP address on the same LAN
domain and physical LAN segment as the IP Office control unit and only upgrade the pre-2.1 system.
·
If a multi-stage upgrade is necessary, use the following additional steps to select the appropriate interim
software:
·
Right-click on the upgrade wizard and click Select Directory. Locate and select the directory containing
the bin file for the intermediate software level.
·
The upgrade wizard should now list just the control unit as having upgrade software available.
