Module Maintenance: Upgrading Software
7.8 Module Software Reinstallation
A full reinstall of the module software can be done using a .iso image file copied onto on a specially prepared USB2
memory device. The Unified Communications Module can be made to boot from the USB2 memory device at which point it
will load and run the .iso file.
When necessary, Avaya will make such images available along with appropriate installation notes for setting up the USB2
memory device. This method of upgrading should only be used when absolutely necessary. Upgrading by
uploading and
installing new .rpm files
should always be used where possible.
This process takes at least 45 minutes.
