7.7 Upgrading Software
Most upgrades for the Unified Communications Module will be made available as a set of .rpm files for the components
being upgraded. These will be made available via the Avaya support website
http://support.avaya.com.
Using these is the
recommended method for upgrading rather than a
module software .iso reinstallation
, as it is both quicker and does
not remove the current user data. It is also done remotely from the same PC as logging in with web control rather than
requiring physical access to the system.
Separate .rpm files may be made available for one-X Portal for IP Office, the voicemail server, voicemail language prompts
and voicemail TTS languages. Refer to the IP Office Technical Bulletins for each release to confirm the new .rpms available
and whether any other pre-requisite .rpm files are also needed. For the Unified Communications Module, an unzip
application may also need to be installed or upgraded. A separate unzip .rpm is made available when that is the case.
Note also that .rpm files are also used by other Linux based IP Office solutions. In all cases you must confirm that the .
rpm downloaded is compatible for use with the Unified Communications Module.
The upload process for each .rpm takes a couple of minutes. The installation process for each .rpm also takes a couple of
minutes.
