Upgrading the IPSI firmware

Activate the new firmware

Once the firmware is downloaded to the IPSI, you must activate it. The new firmware could activate

earlier if the IPSIs are reset for other reasons. When you manually reset the IPSIs, the command resets the

IPSIs one at a time. When a particular IPSI's turn arrives, it is reset even if it is busy handling calls.

Click Activate IPSI Upgrade.

If necessary, you can cancel the resets from this screen. Cancellation affects only the IPSIs that

have not yet been reset. The information displayed on this screen applies only to resets initiated

from this screen. It does not display the status for resets initiated through the Communication

Manager or from other events such as board removal, power loss, and so forth. Canceling the

resets means some IPSIs will have newer firmware than others.

Under IPSI Firmware Upgrades, click View IPSI Version and select "Query All" to verify that

the IPSI circuit packs have the required firmware version.

CAUTION:

This causes a brief service interruption in a simplex reliability configuration. Schedule the

activation for off hours.

Select either All IPSIs or an individual IPSI by providing its cabinet number and carrier

location.

Select the time when you want to start activating the firmware. You can do it immediately

or schedule a time.

Select the time when you want to stop the activation. If the activations have not completed

by the stop time, they will stop, and you must activate them at another time.
