Upgrading Handsets

After software updates are obtained from Polycom, they must be
transferred to the network TFTP server. See SpectraLink 8000 Telephony
Gateway: Administration Guide for an explanation of how to update the
SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephone software in the network
TFTP server so that it can then be downloaded into the handsets.

transfer of software updates from the network TFTP server to the
handsets. The download function in the handset checks its software
version every time the handset is turned on. If there is any
