Chapter 7: Maintenance

Device upgrade

Before upgrading the device, ensure that you download the latest software, the distribution package
and the settings file, on the file server. You can perform the device upgrade in the following ways:
• Automatic: You can configure the device to poll periodically for a newer version of the software
in the file server and automatically download the software and upgrade itself.
• Manual: You can upgrade the device without the device waiting for a polling interval by:
- Using the update option in the Settings app on the device. With the update option, the
device immediately downloads and installs the software if an updated version is available.
- Rebooting the device from the Settings app or from System Manager. With rebooting, the
device might upgrade immediately or later based on the upgrade policy configured for the
device.

Device upgrade process

During boot up, the Collaboration Station performs the following tasks:
1. The Collaboration Station receives the file server address from DHCP, LLDP, or the device
interface.
2. The Collaboration Station connects to the file server and searches for the upgrade file.
3. The Collaboration Station compares its software version with the version specified in the
upgrade file.
4. If a newer version of the software distribution package is available, the Collaboration Station
downloads the software and upgrades itself.
5. The Collaboration Station also looks for the settings file that is specified in the upgrade file
and loads the settings file.
