Automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade
When you configure the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit to perform an 
automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade using the Auto Upgrade 
Configuration property sheet, the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit queries the 
predefined TFTP server and upgrades the firmware automatically. Refer to 
“Auto upgrade configuration” on page 133 for further details.
Nortel recommends the following when performing an automatic or scheduled 
firmware upgrade:
1
Complete the procedures in “Before you begin” on page 197 prior to 
configuring the automatic or scheduled upgrade.
2
Complete the procedures in “Creating a backup configuration file” on page 
159
 before performing an automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade.
Note: The automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade only performs upgrades on 
the Remote Gateway 9100 Series units you configure on the Auto Upgrade 
Configuration property sheets. In order for the automatic or scheduled firmware 
upgrade to complete, place the ro-ver.txt file in the same TFTP server directory 
as you place the .upg file.
USE CAUTION WHEN FORCING THE AUTO UPGRADE 
PROCESS AS THE SYSTEM PERFORMS A SELF-RESET ON 
ALL UNITS TO MAKE THE NEW FIRMWARE ACTIVE ONCE 
THE DOWNLOAD OF NEW FIRMWARE IS COMPLETE.
