 128 Plus upgrade guide

 

 
This guide includes the required steps to upgrade an existing IVX 128 to an IVX 128 Plus. It is highly 
recommended that you review this document prior to beginning the upgrade to familiarize yourself with 
the procedure. 

Important: 

   

•  This upgrade requires system initialization, which will 

erase

 all existing programming,  

  voice mail messages, and greetings. During the upgrade process,  users will be unable  
  to  retrieve voice mail or make programming changes. 
• 

All

 access to programming, including user programming and Help Mode (voice prompts)  

  is restricted once the upgrade is completed. You must contact ESI Technical Support  
  prior to installing the upgrade to schedule activation of the programming interface. 
•  Once completed, this upgrade 

cannot

 be undone. Downgrading to an earlier software  

  version after completing the upgrade will render the IVX128 inoperable. 
• 

Do not

 use this procedure on an 

existing

 IVX 128 Plus. If you need to upgrade an  

  IVX 128 Plus, call ESI Technical Support first. 

Software installation

 

Procedure 1: Using Esi-Access to perform the upgrade 

Notes: 

   

• 

The following instructions assume that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows and Esi-Access.  
If you need more information on Esi-Access, please refer to the Esi-Access Quick Start Guide or  
Esi-Access’s own on-line help. 

• 

Direct connection

 to the IVX 128 maintenance port is recommended due to the necessity of 

loading a large number of files. 

• 

Use Esi-Access version 2.1.0 (or higher). 

 

1. 

Start Esi-Access

2. 

If a site entry doesn’t already exist in Esi-Access for the site being upgraded, click on the 

New

 

button and enter the necessary site information now.   

Note:

  For the system type, select 

IVX 128

3. 

If necessary, perform a backup of system programming, Caller ID, personal greetings, etc. 

4. 

Close Esi-Access

5. 

Insert the IVX 128 Upgrade CD-ROM into your PC’s CD-ROM drive and open Windows Explorer.  
Click on the drive letter corresponding to your CD-ROM drive (often, 

D:

).  

6. 

Copy the two 

.bin

 files (128_1108.bin and 128_2nnn.bin

1

) to the C:\ESI\Bin-IVX128 folder — or, if 

Esi-Tools is installed, the C:\Program Files\Esi-Tools\Esi-Access\Bin-IVX128 folder. 

7. 

Copy 

all

 of the 

prompt files

 (files with the 

.pmt

 file extension) to the site directory of the site you are 

upgrading (e.g., C:\ESI\Sites\[site name]\ — or, if Esi-Tools is installed, C:\Program Files\Esi-
Tools\Esi-Access\Sites\
[site name]\).

  For example, 

128_2110.bin.
