Release Notes for Avaya XT Series
•
Save the XTn000_vx.y.z.exe file containing the XT Series Software in your Windows
PC
•
Verify that the PC is connected to the network in wired mode (otherwise the upgrade
process can be very slow when using a wireless connection) and that it can ping XT.
•
Double click the version .exe file. Below application will be launched.
•
Insert IP address of the XT to upgrade in the Codec Unit IP address field.
•
Press "Start" button in the app.
•
Do not turnoff or unplug XT, until it completes the upgrade.
•
The application will signal that the software package transfer is completed. Wait until
the XT applies the updates contained in the package and restarts, by checking the
progress on XT's graphical interface (monitor screen).
•
This procedure is completed when you see the initial graphical menu displayed
continuously for at least one minute after a restart.
•
If the XT does not restart but it shows an indication to repeat the upgrade, press the
"Start" button again.
Caution
•
Do not turn off the system until the upgrade procedure is completed.
•
If the upgrade procedure is interrupted for any reason, do not restart the Codec Unit
but repeat the procedure as suggested by the Codec User Interface.
•
The system LED may blink repeatedly while upgrading.
•
If you are upgrading from a 3.0/3.1 version of XT5000/XT4000, the upgrade
procedure may reboot more than once while upgrading. A 30 to 40-second interval
may occur between the reboots.
•
If the GLAN interface is not reachable any more, put the .exe upgrade package into
a formatted USB key and insert it into the upper USB socket.
Important
•
Since version 9.2 is a Major Release for Avaya XT Series, a new license might be
required for this upgrade if the endpoint is not under Maintenance Contract.
