Once the new firmware has been downloaded it is automatically installed.
This process can take up to 30 seconds and must not be interrupted.
A screen is then shown with the option to restart the hardware using the
new firmware or to continue without restarting.
Reset to defaults
An option is available from the firmware update screen to reset the
settings to the factory defaults. This looses any modifications that have
been made to the settings but is useful if the configuration has been set to
something that doesn’t work properly.
This does not delete addresses from the contacts list but it does delete all
of the other configuration information. If the device was obtained from a
service provider it should recover its settings on restarting, otherwise the
account setting will have to be entered again.
If there are specific settings that you wish to keep then the web page
configuration provides the ability to select what is reset and what is
preserved.
VLAN
The Flexor 500 supports the IEEE 802.1Q standard for dividing a physical
network into virtual networks or VLANs. If your Flexor 500 is attached to a
network that has been partitioned in this way the settings can be
configured to use this.
There are options to disable the feature (default) or to use it for the voice
data only or for all data. The other settings are the VLAN identifier (0-
4095) and the priority (0-7) that will be included in the Ethernet frames.
This feature should only be enabled if your LAN has been configured to
use it. Incorrect settings can result in a loss of connection to the network.
