Upgrading Software 
As noted earlier (see the section Implementing a Software Upgrade above), 
the Upgrade Software command transfers, from the controller PC to the 
MultiVOIP unit, firmware (including the H.323 stack) and factory 
default configuration settings.  As such, Upgrade Software implements 
the functions of both Download Firmware and Download Factory 
Defaults in a single command.  
 
NOTE:
 To upgrade a MultiVOIP from software version 4.04 or earlier, an ftp primer 
file must first be sent to the VOIP. This file is located in the 
Software/ftp_Primer folder on the CD and the file name is 
"FTP_Primer.bin". Before uploading this file, it must be renamed 
"mvpt1ftp.bin".  The VoIP will only accept files of this name. This is a 
safety precaution to prevent the wrong files from being uploaded to the 
VoIP. Once the primer file has been uploaded, upload the FTP firmware file. 
If you accepted the defaults during the software loading process, this file is 
located on your local drive at C:\Program Files\Multi-Tech 
Systems\MultiVOIP 4.08 where the X is the software number and the .08 is 
the version number of the MultiVOIP software on your local drive. Of 
course the firmware file is named ‘mvpt1ftp.bin’.   
Important:
 You cannot go back to 4.04 or earlier versions using FTP. You 
must use ‘upgradesoftware’ via the serial port. 
Important:
 These ftp upgrade instructions do not apply to software release 
4.05 and above.
