Firmware for corded system phones

The communication server's software package contains the software for certain
system phones (DSI and IP), which is updated in each case along with the system
software. For other system phones (SIP) the firmware is located on a firmware
server.
The Office 10, Office 25 and Aastra 5360 system phones do not have their own
memory. All other system phones have a Flash memory.
DSI and IP system phones with Flash memory
The flash memory contains the boot software and the application software. DSI
phones also have an area with the interface software.
The firmware for the phones Office 35, Office 45, Aastra 5370, Aastra 5380 as well as
for all Aastra 5300ip series IP phones is contained in the communication server's
system software. The firmware versions are compared when the phones are
started. If the versions differ, the firmware is downloaded from the communication
server to the phones. When updating the system software this can take several
minutes for each DSI phone.
The expansion key modules Aastra M530 and Aastra M535 also have a flash chip
containing firmware. The update mechanism is the same as the one described
above. However a local power supply is always required (Power over Ethernet is
also possible with IP terminals).
SIP system phones
The firmware for Aastra 6700i, Aastra 6800i series SIP phones as well as for
Aastra BluStar 8000i and Aastra BluStar clients is preferably located on a firmware
server. In the WebAdmin view Configuration / IP network / Firmware server ( =yv)
the SIP phones Aastra 6700i / Aastra 6800i and Aastra BluStar 8000i already have a
predefined global Aastra FTP server. Various firmware versions are stored on this
server, according to different communication server software releases. The prede-
fined entry in WebAdmin is adjusted to each communication server release if nec-
essary. You can also indicate the address of another firmware server.
Whenever the phones are started the phone firmware version is compared with the
version on the firmware server. If the versions differ, the firmware is downloaded
from the firmware server to the phones.
