UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE

files and upgrade firmware to the phones from a configuration server.
The configuration server should be ready and able to accept connections. For information on
configuration server requirements, see Chapter 1, the section,

You can download the firmware stored on the configuration server in one of three ways:
• Using the "Firmware Update" page in the Mitel Web UI at the location Advanced Set-
tings->Firmware Update.
• Using the IP Phone UI or the Mitel Web UI to restart the phone. The phone automatically
looks for firmware updates and configuration files during the boot process.
• Setting an Auto-Resync feature to automatically update the firmware, configuration files,
or both at a specific time in a 24-hour period). (Feature can be enabled using the configu-
ration files or the Mitel Web UI).
USING THE "FIRMWARE UPDATE" PAGE IN THE MITEL WEB UI
You can use the Mitel Web UI to manually force a firmware update from the configuration server
to a phone in your network by selecting Advanced Settings->Firmware Update. You can
configure the phone to perform the update using any of the protocols that the phone supports:
TFTP, FTP, HTTP, or HTTPS.
WARNING: DO NOT RESET OR TURN OFF THE PHONE UNTIL THE DOWNLOAD
IS COMPLETE.

firmware files that were updated, to your phone.
