UPGRADING THE V7122 MEDIA
GATEWAYS
The Software Update menu enables you to upgrade the V7122
software by loading a new cmp file along with the ini and a suite of
auxiliary files, or to update the existing auxiliary files.
The Software Update menu comprises two submenus:
Software Upgrade Wizard (see Software Upgrade Wizard).
Load Auxiliary Files (see Updating the Auxiliary Files).
When you upgrade the V7122 Gateway software you must load the new
cmp file with all other related configuration files.
Software Upgrade
Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard guides you through the process of
software upgrade -- selecting files and then loading them to the gateway.
The wizard also enables you to upgrade software (cmp file) while
maintaining the existing configuration. Using the wizard obligates you to
load a cmp file. You can choose to also use the wizard to load the ini and
auxiliary files (e.g., Call Progress Tones), but this option cannot be
pursued without loading the cmp file. For the ini and each auxiliary file
type, you can choose to reload an existing file, load a new file, or not load
a file at all.
CAUTION: The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the gateway to be
reset at the end of the process, which may disrupt traffic. To avoid this,
disable all traffic on the device before initiating the wizard by performing
a graceful lock.
When you activate the wizard, the rest of the Web interface is
unavailable. After the process is complete, access to the full Web
interface is restored.
The wizard allows you to load an ini auxiliary file only after you have
loaded a cmp file.
