4.4 SD Card Preparation

IP500 V2 control units are supplied with no installed firmware or configuration. When first powered up, the control unit will
load and install the necessary firmware from the System SD card installed in it. It will then create a default configuration
matching the cards installed in the control unit and external expansion modules attached to it.
You can perform a number of additional actions prior to installing the System SD card in order to pre configure the IP
Office system.

4.4.1 Upgrade the Card Firmware
This command can be used with a read-writeable SD card on the Manager PC. It copies the files and folders used by an
IP500 V2 system when starting. It updates the card with the version of those files installed with the IP Office Manager
application. It includes the binary files for the IP500 V2 system, external expansion modules and phones. It also includes
the prompt files for Embedded Voicemail operation.
This process replaces existing files and adds new files. It does not delete files, so for example, any existing Embedded
Voicemail messages and greetings are retained. If the card contains dynamic system files such as SMDR records, they are
temporarily backed up by Manager and then restored after the card is recreated.
For the card to be used in an IP500 V2 system's System SD slot the card must be Avaya SD Feature Key card. The card
must be correctly formatted, however a reformat of an existing working card is not necessary before using recreate to
update the card contents.
· The source for the files copied to the SD card are the sub-folders of the \Memory Cards folder under Manager's
Working Directory (normally C:\Program Files Avaya\IP Office\Manager). However, if the Working Directory
is changed to a location without an appropriate set of \Memory Cards sub-folders, the required set of files will not
be copied onto the SD card.
1. Once started do not interrupt this process, for example by removing the SD card. This process takes approximately
15 minutes.
2. Insert the SD card into a card reader on the Manager PC.
3. Using IP Office Manager, select File | Advanced | Recreate IP Office SD Card.
4. Select IP Office A-Law, IP Office U-Law, IP Office Partner Edition. or IP Office Norstar Edition. This
selection will affect how the IP Office systems operates when defaulted with this card present in its System SD card
slot.
5. Browse to the card location and click OK.
6. IP Office Manager will prompt whether you want to include Avaya IP Office Web Manager files as part of the
recreate process. Those files are necessary if you want to run IP Office Web Manager to manage the IP Office
system into which the card will be loaded.
7. Manager will start creating folders on the SD card and copying the required files into those folders. This process will
take approximately 15 minutes.
8. Do not remove the SD card during the process. Wait until the Manager displays a message.
