UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
The IP phones support the protocols, TFTP, FTP, HTTP or HTTPS to download configuration
files and upgrade firmware to the phones from a configuration server.
The configuration server should be ready and able to accept connections. For information on
configuration server requirements, see Chapter 1, the section,
“Configuration Server
Requirement”
on
page 1-22
.
You can download the firmware stored on the configuration server in one of three ways:
• Using the “
Firmware Update
” page in the Mitel Web UI at the location
Advanced Set-
tings->Firmware Update
.
• Using the IP Phone UI or the Mitel Web UI to restart the phone. The phone automatically
looks for firmware updates and configuration files during the boot process.
• Setting an
Auto-Resync
feature to automatically update the firmware, configuration files,
or both at a specific time in a 24-hour period). (Feature can be enabled using the configu-
ration files or the Mitel Web UI).
USING THE “FIRMWARE UPDATE” PAGE IN THE MITEL WEB UI
You can use the Mitel Web UI to manually force a firmware update from the configuration server
to a phone in your network by selecting
Advanced Settings->Firmware Update
. You can
configure the phone to perform the update using any of the protocols that the phone supports:
TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
WARNING: DO NOT RESET OR TURN OFF THE PHONE UNTIL THE DOWNLOAD
