given IP address and Subnet Mask when connected to a network with a DHCP
server.
In addition to the above TCP/IP based protocols allowing management to be performed
remotely; local management, control and software upgrade facilities are also available through a
standard RS232 interface (see chapter 4.3).

System Management Functionality
4.6.4.1
Remote software upgrades using FTP:
This service is provided by the standard TCP/IP based FTP protocol. Any networked PC may
perform software upgrades either locally or over the Internet depending on the LAN
connectivity on the customer premises (firewalls etc.). Using any FTP-client software (such as
the FTP-client bundled with the Windows operating system), it is possible to upload the new
software release to the videoconferencing system. The software file is in binary format in order
to decrease upload time. It is possible to keep the directory list and all other special settings after
the new software is uploaded.
4.6.4.2
Remote software upgrades during a call
43
The TANDBERG 8000 has the ability to upgrade another TANDBERG system when inside a
call (IP, ISDN or NET interfaces) by using the built-in file system. The management PC needs
to be connected to the calling codec via the Ethernet port to upgrade a remote system. While in a
call to the upgrading system, the codec software file should be put into the file system of the
local codec;
e.g.
ftp://
LocalCodecIPaddress
/remote/s08001e30.pkg. Please see document D10238 ‘How to
upgrade a TANDBERG Videoconferencing system’ or User Manual for further info.
It is also possible to do this type of software upgrade via the codec’s web page.
4.6.4.3
Management using a standard Web-browser:
Using a standard Web-browser (Netscape, MS Internet Explorer 3.0 or later), the user may
perform basic set-up, diagnostics and troubleshooting. This includes placing calls, disconnecting
calls, using the directory as well as remote software upgrading.
4.6.4.4
Management using a standard Telnet-client:
(such as the Telnet program bundled with the Windows operating system)
This gives the user the same functionality as from the remote control and the data port. It
provides advanced debug capabilities such as ISDN layer 3 (D-channel) traces on Basic Rate
and Primary Rate interfaces, low-level H.320 protocol diagnostics (e.g. H.221 traces), etc. This
interface is a command-line type interface, not a graphical interface like the Web-browser
interface. The codec supports multiple simultaneous Telnet sessions.
4.6.4.5
Management using a terminal connected to the RS232 port:
(such as using the HyperTerminal program bundled with the Windows operating system).
Provides many of the same services and features as the Telnet-interface does in addition to the
possibility to do software upgrades. See chapter 4.3 and TANDBERG Data port User Guide
(D11943) for details.
43 Both systems needs software B3 or later for this type of remote upgrade to function
