Upgrading The Software - Panasonic KX-NS1000 Feature Manual

20.1.97 Upgrading the Software

•
When power is restored after a power outage, the PBX operates in the following manner:
–
If the PBX did not shut down, normal operation continues uninterrupted.
–
If the PBX shut down and power remains in the UPS, the PBX must be started again manually. (The
power switch must be turned off and then on again.)
–
If the PBX shut down and no power remains in the UPS, the PBX starts automatically. (This is because
the PBX's power switch is on.)

20.1.97 Upgrading the Software
Description
The main software of the PBX, as well as the software of other connected devices can be updated either
manually or automatically.
•
Obtaining updates manually
Obtaining software updates (downloading the update to the PBX) can be done manually via Web
Maintenance Console. In this case, software updates can be obtained from an FTP server, a USB memory
device connected to the PBX, a NAS, or a PC that can access Web Maintenance Console.
•
Obtaining updates automatically
The PBX can automatically check for and download updates from an FTP server. Also, a notification e-mail
can be sent to specified e-mail addresses when an update becomes available and when it is downloaded.
Also, the PBX can be configured to check for updates automatically, but not to download them.
Installing an update can be done either manually via Web Maintenance Console, or on a set schedule.
