Upgrading Software From Version 2.0X, 2.1X, Or 2.2X To 2.50 Or Higher - NEC Aspire S Manual

Upgrading Software From Version 2.0x, 2.1x, or 2.2x to 2.50 or Higher

Due to the port capacity changes in 2.50 software, it is recommended the system be cold started and the cus-
tomer database reprogrammed. However, using PCPro 3.00 or higher, you can choose to reload the majority
of the customer database using the steps below.
Use the following steps to update your Aspire S with 2.0x, 2.1x, or 2.2x software to 2.50 or higher. This pro-
cess is only required to bring the system up to 2.50 or higher. Once the system has been updated to this level,
any future software upgrades should follow the instructions indicated Upgrading Software on page 2-46. If
the following steps are not used when upgrading to 2.50 or higher, the IntraMail feature will not function
correctly.
1. As a precaution, it is recommended that the customer database be saved prior to updating the system
software. Refer to Backing Up/Restoring a Database (page 2-44).
2. Set Program 45-01-01 : Voice Mail Integration Options, Voice Mail Department Group Number
to "0" (no voice mail).
3. In Program 16-02-01 : Department Group Assignment for Extensions, make sure there are no
extension ports assigned to Department Group 8.
4. Upgrade the system software to version 2.50 or higher.

Before powering down the system, verify that of the 4 LEDs in the lower left corner of the CPU,

utes):
