Maintenance

5.1

Handset

In an existing VoWiFi system it is important to be able to replace VoWiFi Handsets, install new
VoWiFi Handsets and exchange faulty VoWiFi Handsets.
If only WinPDM is used, do one of the following:
• If you want to install new VoWiFi Handset, see
Management
• If you want to replace a broken VoWiFi Handset, see
WinPDM Only
5.1.1

Upgrade Handset Software

Note: Pay attention to the software Release Notes before changing the software.
The software in the VoWiFi Handset can be upgraded either Over the Air (OTA) via the TFTP,
or the WinPDM by USB cable.
5.1.2

Upgrade Software OTA via TFTP

Software upgrade OTA via TFTP is used in small VoWifi systems. The benefit is that the
VoWiFi Handsets do not need to be collected by the administrator since the software upgrade is
peformed over the air.
In order to upgrade the software via TFTP, the following must be done:
1 If needed, the VoWiFi Handset must be configured in WinPDM to access a TFTP server,
see Configure Access to the TFTP
Tip: It is recommended to configure the TFTP server's IP address when installing the
VoWiFi Handsets. See
2 If needed, a new software information file (packageinfo.inf) and a software (.bin) file
must be uploaded to the TFTP server. These files are provided by your supplier. See the
manual for the TFTP server used for more information on how to upload files.
3 The VoWiFi Handset must be restarted. When the VoWiFi Handset has been restarted, it
connects to the TFTP server and downloads the software information file (.inf) that
contains information about the software version. If the software version differs from the
VoWiFi Handset's software version, the VoWiFi Handset will download the software file
(.bin) from the TFTP server. The VoWiFi Handset will be restarted when the software
upgrade is performed.
