How to Upgrade XT Series to 9.0 Releases

Release 9.0 improves security when upgrading. Since this version, XT Series software packages
are signed by an Avaya Certificate Root Authority recognized by the XT Series. Only signed
packages will be accepted by XT Series once upgraded to this version (see XT Software Update
Verification Table).
Software upgrade packages named XT5000_Vx_y_z.exe can be used only to upgrade Avaya
XT5000/XT4300/XTE240 Series Codec Units.
Software upgrade packages named XT7000_Vx_y_z.exe can be used only to upgrade Avaya
XT7000 Series Codec Units.
To upgrade the software of an Avaya XT Series Codec Unit:
 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.
Figure 27: Software Upgrade Application
 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.
Figure 28: End Upgrade Message
 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.
