Digital Telephone IP Adapter Installation and Administration Guide

Administration

 Standard 2.1

This section describes how to perform a firmware upgrade on your Digital 
Telephone IP Adapter unit. You perform the upgrade over the IP network using 
the TFTP protocol. You can perform the Digital Telephone IP Adapter upgrade 
manually or configure the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit to perform an 
automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade. Refer to “Auto upgrade 
configuration” on page 133 for further details.

You must have a TFTP server application running on the administration PC. The 
TFTP server’s base directory must point to the directory that contains the 
upgrade files.

To ensure trouble-free communication between the RLC and Digital Telephone 
IP Adapter units during and after the manual firmware upgrade, Nortel 
recommends that you perform the upgrades as follows:

Create backup configuration files for the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit 
and RLC. Refer to “Creating a backup configuration file” on page 159.

Upgrade the Configuration Manager software on the administration PC.

Disable the PBX slot(s) where an RLC is installed.

Upgrade the RLC firmware.

Upgrade the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit firmware.

Restart the RLC.

Restart all upgraded Remote Gateway 9100 Series units.

Re-enable the PBX slot(s) where an RLC is installed.
