SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway Administration Guide
Updating Wireless Telephone Software
SpectraLink handsets allow over-the-air transfer of software updates
from the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway or designated TFTP
server to the handsets.
The downloader function in the handset checks its software version
every time the handset is turned on. If there is any discrepancy in the
functional code (pdt02c.bin or pft02c.bin or pd11spc.bin or
pdt06c.bin) or the image (phintl.bin or phintl24.bin) the handset
immediately begins to download the update.
You may use the
Checkout all phones option in the Gateway
Configuration
menu to update all handsets. If the TFTP server is on a
PC, this command may be used to upgrade each handset without
having to reset the Gateway. This command forces all the handsets on
the system to check in with the Gateway. They will check their
current software version against the version stored on the TFTP
server and download if needed. Any handset in a call will perform
their checkout after the call has been completed.
Normal download messages
When the handset is powered on, it displays a series of messages
indicating that it is searching for new software, checking the versions,
and downloading. The normal message progression is:
Message Description

the display indicate which file number is currently being downloaded. This message

While the handset is updating, the NO SVC message displays, and the
handset should NOT be powered off.
When the update is complete, the handset displays the extension
number, and is ready for use.
