Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter Installation and Administration Guide

Administration

Standard 1.1

This section describes how to perform a firmware upgrade on your Meridian 
Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit. You perform the upgrade over the IP network 
using the TFTP protocol. 

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.

Perform a firmware upgrade if you have determined that you are using out-of-
date firmware. For instructions on determining if you need to perform an 
upgrade, refer to “Verifying the firmware and software version” on page 139.

Each time you perform a firmware upgrade, the configuration database is also 
converted (if necessary) to a format that is compatible with the new firmware. 
Configuration settings are not affected by the conversion. 

Nortel Networks recommends that, each time you perform a firmware upgrade, 
you create a backup copy of the converted configuration file, and store it in a 
safe secure location. 

It is important to complete the procedures described under “Obtaining the latest 
upgrade file” on page 141 before performing a firmware upgrade. Then you 
must complete the following steps:

Start the TFTP server application.

Ensure the TFTP base directory reflects the directory where the firmware 
upgrade file you want to use resides.
