Chapter 10: Device upgrade

You must upgrade the Avaya Vantage
features, and enhance stability and security.
™
Avaya Vantage downloads upgrade images and configuration files from a file server by using
HTTP or HTTPS.
Firmware upgrade options
You can perform the device firmware upgrade in the following ways:
• Automatic: Configure the device to poll periodically for a newer version of the software in the
file server and automatically download the upgraded software.
• Manual: Upgrade the device manually without the device waiting for a polling interval by:
- Using the Update now option in the Settings > About Avaya Vantage > Software
information menu on the device. With this option, the device immediately downloads and
installs the software if an updated software version is available.
- Rebooting the device from the Settings > Backup & reset menu on the device, System
Manager, IP Office System Status Application, or IP Office System Monitor. If an updated
version of software is available, then the device upgrades immediately after the reboot or
later according to the upgrade policy configured for the device.
Firmware upgrade prerequisites
Before upgrading the device firmware, perform the following actions:
• Download the newest distribution package and updated 46xxsettings.txt settings file on
the file server.
• Ensure that the upgrade related parameters, such as UPGRADE_POLICY and
UPGRADE_POLLING_PERIOD, are set correctly in the 46xxsettings.txt file according
to your requirement. For more information, see
• Provide a path to the file server in the FILE_SERVER_URL configuration parameter.
Note:
If FILE_SERVER_URL is not defined, Avaya Vantage
