he Nortel Networks WLAN IP Telephony Manager 2245 must be connected to the network
and completely operational.
•

the TFTP Server is on before completing the following steps.
If statically assigning IP addresses, ensure that the wireless handset IP address, TFTP Server

IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway information are accurate in the Admin Menu
of the wireless handset. If using a DHCP Server, ensure that the DHCP options are configured.
Ensure the wireless handset has properly configured ESSID and Reg Domain Information

within the Admin Menu. If broadcast ESSIDs are accepted at the APs, the handset
automatically learns the ESSID information when powering on.
Using the Admin Menu on the wireless handset, ensure the License Management menu option

is set to 010. This ensures the handset will check for the proper UNIStim firmware files each
time it powers on.
Power on the wireless handset.

The firmware now downloads to the wireless handset. The status bar increments fully across
the wireless handset display for each function that is being performed in the download process.
Upon completion of the update process, the wireless handset re-boots with the new firmware.
Register the wireless handset with the BCM as if it were an IP Phone 2004.

Properly label the wireless handset with the appropriate extension number.

For future firmware upgrades, simply update the firmware files that are stored on the TFTP Server.
Each time the wireless handset is powered on, it checks with the TFTP Server to ensure it has the
proper firmware version. It downloads the new firmware, when found.
