The numbers given as eg 4.0.70 indicate the version number of the patch. Each patch is accumulative.
The patch file must be renamed before proceeding to the next stage.
x
Edit the file name to remove the version number so that the files are called, eg cs5100.patch.tar.gz
x
If after downloading the file the name of the file has changed to, eg cs5100.patch.3.2.879.tar.tar,
rename the file to change the final .tar to .gz.
Root Upgrade
If you are upgrading from version 3.2.620 or below you need to download the following file:
cs5100.root.3.2.1651.tar.gz or cs5108.root.3.2.1651.tar.gz or callserver.root.3.2.1651.tar.gz or
rcallserver.root.3.2.1651.tar.gz,
and rename as
cs5100.root.tar.gz or cs5108.root.tar.gz or callserver.root.tar.gz or rcallserver.root.tar.gz
If you are upgrading a 4100 Call Server or 4140 Remote Call Server from version 3.1 or below you will
need to perform a root upgrade by downloading the following file:
callserver.root.tar.gz or rcallserver.root.tar.gz
If, however, the current software version is lower than 2.2.600 you will also need to download the
following file:
adminmod.patch.tar.gz (4100) or rmtcs.patch.tar.gz (4140)
Please note: A root upgrade will reset Web pages, inittab and startVpn files back to default. Please ensure
you have a back up of the files required before upgrading the system. (If you require further information
on these files please contact Support.)
Send a Software Patch to the S8000/S716/5100/5108/NSG Call Server
Once downloaded the patch file must be sent to the relevant Call Server via FTP as follows:
1
Using FTP via a browser or Command Prompt log in as Admin on the Call Server (as described in
the Admin Access to a Call Server on page 273.)
2
If you are using a browser copy the patch file into this area
or
If you are using the Command Prompt use the “put” command, eg put
cs5100.patch.tar.gz, to copy
the patch file from the root, eg C:\, to this area. Once copied the Transmission Complete message
will be received. Enter Quit when finished.
Extract the software on the S8000/S716/5100/5108/NSG Call Server
Once the patch has been sent to the Call Server extract the software as follows:
1
Telnet on to the Call Server via Root (as described in the Root Access to a Call Server section from
page 272)
2
You may firstly wish to go the FTP directory
–
cd /SpliceCom/ftp
–
to check that the patch file is
available here.
3
Go to the TFTP directory
–
cd tftp (or if you have skipped step 2
–
cd /SpliceCom/ftp/tftp)
4
Enter tar
–
zxvf /SpliceCom/ftp/<software file name>, eg cs5100.patch.tar.gz
5
When the hash (#) returns the command is complete.
On a 5100/5108 Call Server and NSG a reboot will perform the same job:
