Implementing a Software Upgrade
TalkAnytime software can be upgraded locally using a single command at the TalkAnytime Windows GUI,
namely Upgrade Software. This command downloads firmware (including the H.323 stack), and factory
default settings from the controller PC to the TalkAnytime unit.
When using the TalkAnytime Windows GUI, firmware and factory default settings can also be transferred
from controller PC to TalkAnytime piecemeal using separate commands.
When using the TalkAnytime web browser GUI to control/configure the voip remotely, upgrading of
software must be done on a piecemeal basis using the FTP Server function of the TalkAnytime unit.
When performing a piecemeal software upgrade (whether from the Windows GUI or web browser GUI),
follow these steps in order:
1. Identify Current Firmware Version
2. Download Firmware
3. Download Factory Defaults
When upgrading firmware, the software commands "Download Firmware," and "Download Factory
Defaults" must be implemented in order, else the upgrade is incomplete.
Identifying Current Firmware Version
Before implementing a TalkAnytime firmware upgrade, be sure to verify the firmware version currently
loaded on it. The firmware version appears in the TalkAnytime Program menu. Go to Start | Programs |
TalkAnytime ____ x.xx. The final expression, x.xx, is the firmware version number. In the illustration
below, the firmware version is 10.08, made for the TalkAnytime TA410 or TA810. For TA-2410/3010, the
first firmware version is 11.09 and subsequent versions increment as 11.xx (11.10, 11.11, etc.).
When a new firmware version is installed, the TalkAnytime software can be upgraded in one step using the
Upgrade Software command, or piecemeal using the Download Firmware command and the Download
Factory Defaults command.
Download Firmware transfers the firmware (including the H.323 protocol stack) in the PC's TalkAnytime
directory into the nonvolatile flash memory of the TalkAnytime.
Download Factory Defaults sets all configuration parameters to the standard default values that are loaded
at the MultiTech factory.
Upgrade Software implements both the Download Firmware command and the Download Factory
Defaults command.
