Software Upgrade Overview (CLI)
The IP-20 software installation process includes the following steps:
1 Download – The files required for the installation or upgrade are
downloaded from a remote server.
2 Installation – The downloaded software and firmware files are installed
in all modules and components of the IP-20 that are currently running an
older version.
3 Reset – The IP-20 is restarted in order to boot the new software and
firmware versions.
Software and firmware releases are provided in a single bundle that includes
software and firmware for all components in the system. When you download
a software bundle, the system verifies the validity of the bundle. The system
also compares the files in the bundle to the files currently installed in the
IP-20 and its components, so that only files that need to be updated are
actually downloaded. A message is displayed for each file that is actually
downloaded.
Note:
When downloading an older version, all files in the bundle
may be downloaded, including files that are already
installed.
Software bundles can be downloaded via FTP or SFTP. After the software
download is complete, you can initiate the installation.
Note:
Before performing a software upgrade, it is important to
verify that the system date and time are correct. See Setting
the Time and Date (Optional) (CLI).
