Automatic Firmware Update
The Automatic Firmware Update page allows you to configure an automatic update of the Bizfon's firmware (software image) as it becomes
available on the server. When this service is enabled, on the configured day and time Bizfon will automatically check for a new available firmware on
the server and will either notify the administrator or update the firmware right away, depending on the configured settings.
The server configuration can be done manually or through the DHCP server. In case of DHCP server replying configuration, the corresponding
adjustments should be done on the DHCP server to automatically point the Bizfon to the destination where the firmware is stored.
Please Note: Independent on the selected server type, there should be an "auto-update" folder in the root directory of the server. Bizfon will check
for any new firmware in that specific folder only. Besides the firmware *.bin file, the "auto-update" folder should contain supplementary file(s) to point
to the correct firmware file.
The detailed instructions on the functionality of automatic firmware update as well as server configuration are described in the "Automatic Firmware
Update" document for which you may ask Bizfon's technical support.
This page consists of the following components:
The Enable Automatically Firmware Update checkbox selection enables the automatic firmware update service on the Bizfon.
Attention: When the older firmware is installed on the Bizfon, the system configuration will be lost and the device will be factory reset.
The first manipulation buttons group on this page allows you to choose between the manually configured firmware server and the server defined by
the DHCP server.
•
Assign automatically via DHCP - choose this selection if the Bizfon acts as a DHCP client in its WAN interface. In this case the firmware
server's configuration will be automatically obtained from the DHCP server. This selection requires previous configuration on the firmware
server and will work only if the "auto-update" directory is created on the TFTP server. The DHCP server should also be configured to
provide the parameters of the TFTP server to the Bizfon.
•
Assign manually – this selection is used to manually configure the firmware server settings. The Server Name (the IP address or
hostname), the Server Port and the Update Method should be defined. The Update Method drop down list provides a possibility to
choose among TFTP, FTP, HTTP or HTTPS methods. For some of these selections, authentication Username and Password can be
entered.
The second manipulation buttons group on this page allows you
to select the frequency of checking for a new update.
•
Check and notify – choose this selection if you only
wish to be notified about the new available firmware
on the server. With this selection, on the indicated
weekday and time, on daily or weekly basis, the Bizfon
will check for a new firmware available on the server.
The way of notification is configured from the
page.
•
Check and update – choose this selection to check
and automatically install the new firmware on the
Bizfon as it becomes available on the server. With this
selection, on the indicated weekday and time, on daily
or weekly basis, the Bizfon will check for a new
firmware available on the server, will automatically
download and install it on the Bizfon.
