Once the firmware has been transferred, the actual update of each wireless device takes approx. one minute. • The M900 can update up to 10 wireless devices at a time. If more devices are registered with the base, they will be updated successively. Note: The base station selects the devices for firmware transfer randomly.
The names of the firmware files also start with the capital M and are followed by one to three numerals, i.e., M900, M70, M5, etc. The product name is followed by the underscore _ which, in turn, is followed by a small v and the three-digit firmware version preceded by a zero, i.e., 0410, 0450, etc.
Note: Linux/Unix based HTTP servers are case-sensitive. Since all M-series product names start with a capital M, the names of the folders must also start with a capital M, i.e., M900, M70, etc. Naming the folders m900, m70, etc. will cause the downloads to fail.
If the update was successful, the handset will turn on again, and the web interface will indicate the completion of the update and the current firmware version on the handset. rovisioning updates Please see the Provisioning Guide M900/M700/M300 at https://service.snom.com. v1.02...
