5.11 Software Update Menu
The ‘Software Update’ menu enables users to upgrade the Mediant 2000 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 Update Wizard (refer to Section
5.11.1 below).
Auxiliary Files (refer to Section
5.11.2 on page 82).
Note: When upgrading the Mediant 2000 software you must load the new cmp file
with all other related configuration files
5.11.1 Software Upgrade Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard guides users through the process of software upgrade: selecting
files and loading them to the gateway. The wizard also enables users to upgrade software while
maintaining the existing configuration. Using the wizard obligates users to load a cmp file. Users
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, users can choose to reload an existing file, load a new file or not load a file at all.
Warning 1: The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the Mediant 2000 to be reset at
the end of the process, disrupting any of its traffic. To avoid disruption,
disable all traffic on the Mediant 2000 before initiating the Wizard.
Warning 2: Verify, prior to clicking the Start Software Upgrade button that no traffic is
running on the device. After clicking this button a device reset is
mandatory. Even if you choose to cancel the process in the middle, the
device resets itself and the previous configuration burned to flash is
reloaded.
To use the Software Upgrade Wizard, take these 9 steps:
1. Stop all traffic on the Mediant 2000 (refer to the note above).
2. Open the ‘Software Upgrade Wizard’ (Software Update menu > Software Upgrade
Wizard); the ‘Start Software Upgrade’ screen appears.
