Update Functions; Regular Firmware Updates Via The Update Server - Auerswald COMpact 5010 VoIP Configuration Manual

Regular firmware updates via the update server

Using your PBX and the connected system telephones, you can per-
form a regular (for example, yearly) automatic firmware update. In
order to keep the update from disrupting normal telephone operation,
an update is preferably done at night.
The PBX attempts to download the current firmware from the server
during a set period of four hours. If the update could not be performed
during the preset period of time, the PBX attempts to do it again at the
same time the following day.
During the update, the PBX automatically connects to a server over
an Internet connection and downloads the current firmware; call
charge data sets and configuration data remain intact. In addition, an
update is performed "via the exchange line" using a system tele-
phone of any design; the new firmware is then "distributed" to the
other system telephones.

The address for the PBX update server is saved in the PBX. If nec-
essary, this can be changed on the page Administration
configuration.
In order to resolve the names of Internet addresses (here, the
address of the update server), the PBX needs the address for a DNS
server (just like for a PC connected to the Internet). Enter the address
provided by your system administrator or by your Internet service pro-
vider (Administration Server Configuration). You may also enter a
second address just in case the main DNS server is unavailable.
If the connected system telephones should also be updated, activate
the corresponding setting (Administration
reboot).
The telephone number for the system telephone server is saved in
the system telephones using the PC programme (see the manual for
the telephone).
For the regular automatic update a time interval (every 12 weeks,
twice a year, yearly) must be selected. Set the time for carrying out
the update during a reasonable time frame so that normal telephone
operation is not disrupted (Administration
Reboot).
Finally, activate of all the settings by clicking "Accept".
Use/Check of Features
The time the last update attempt was made and the time the last suc-
cessful update took place are displayed under "Update status" on the
page Administration Firmware update/reboot .
Dependency/Limitations
The first update is carried out after the set interval (in 12 weeks, in six
months or in a year). If the existing firmware is not current, you can
also carry out an immediate firmware update via the update server
(Administration: Firmware update/reboot).

During the distribution process, "Server Mode" is shown on the dis-
play panel of the distributing system telephone. It is not possible to
use the system telephone during this process.
Aside from the charges resulting from the required telephone connec-
tion (after first going to System telephone -> Server), the update is
free of charge.
If different system telephones are connected to a PBX, the firmware
update "Via the exchange line" must be performed on a COMfortel
1100/1500, on a COMfortel 2500 and on one of the older system tel-
ephones (COMfort 1000, COMfort 1200 and COMfort 2000 plus).
After this, the firmware can be distributed from these telephones to
the others (see the manual for the telephone).
