firmware download
Nortel Networks Optivity Telephony Manager for Meridian SL-100, 2.0,
(OTM-MSL) provides firmware management for the M3900 series
digital telephones: M3902, M3903, M3904, and M3905. The firmware
download process is executed in OTM-MSL using the Expec controller
card (NT7D07BA) in the EIPE.
Note: Since there is no upgradeable firmware load for the M3901
set, the M3901 set is not supported with this tool.
OTM-MSL enables the user to:
• view firmware loads on the connected EIPE
• initiate the transfer of M3900 firmware to the EIPE
• delete firmware loads from the EIPE
• view the space remaining on the EIPE for M3900 firmware loads
• initiate the transfer of a firmware file to multiple EIPEs
• provide the same FTP functionality as the Expec Service
• determine the location and access to the FTP server (FTP server
requirements and options)
• view descriptions of the EIPE file system, requirements, and
limitations
Through this tool, M3900 firmware loads can be downloaded to one
M3900 series set or to all M3900 terminals of the same type on an
EIPE. The same can be done for multiple EIPEs. The transfer and
downloads of firmware to a single or multiple EIPEs can be scheduled
to execute at a later time.
Using the M3900 Firmware Management main window, the user can
access information such as the following:
• scheduling capabilities and limitations (that is, the ability to schedule
the download of the Firmware to M3900 sets)
• network considerations
• transfer results and recovery (the system generates a log file after
each firmware download session is complete)
• generate a record of the completion of each firmware load operation
Figure 23 on page 108 shows the M3900 Firmware Maintenance main
window and toolbar items.
