Download Firmware To A Nortel 20Xx Ip Telephone - Nortel BCM50 Configuration Manual

Section 3: Features
Offset time zones: For areas, such as Newfoundland, Canada, where the time zone is offset from a
full hour, press the # key to add 0.5 to the number of hours, then press OK.
Note: The telephone is still configured to change when Daylight
Savings Time occurs if the host system is programmed to change.
Therefore, if the telephone is in an area that does not change time, for
example, Saskatchewan, Canada, you will need to readjust the time on
your IP telephone at each time change. You will also need to readjust the
time if the IP telephone is in a time zone that changes and the system is
not, for example, if the telephone is in Alberta, Canada and the system is
located in the business headquarters in Saskatchewan.

Download firmware to a Nortel 20XX IP telephone

Firmware is the software stored in the telephone. When the system is upgraded with a new IP
telephone firmware load, this firmware load automatically downloads into the IP telephones when
they next connect to the system.
The Terminal Details subscreen has a Force firmware download button that allows you to initiate
an immediate download to a telephone. You would do this in situations where you suspect that a
particular telephone has corrupted firmware.

The system drops any active call on that telephone and downloads a new firmware load into the
selected telephone(s). The telephones will be unusable until the download is complete and the
telephones have reset.
Note: In order not to saturate the IP network with download packets, the
system will only download up to five IP telephones at any given time.
Telephones requiring download will show an Element Manager status of
Download Pending, and the UNISTIM Terminal Proxy Server (UTPS)
will initiate download as resources become available.
Refer to "IP telephone set details" in the BCM50
for details.
