Software Requirements And Limitations - ADTRAN NetVanta 7000 Manual

NetVanta 7000 Series Release Notes R10.7.1
worthy and would continue to perform as expected for their useful lifetime on software revisions prior to
A2.04. However, due to differences in hardware, some or all of the new features might not be supported on
the older hardware (1200796L1).
The 1200796L1 is explicitly NOT recommended for use for the following features or firmware releases:
• For any firmware release R10.x or higher
• Support for greater than 50 users. DSP resources were increased on 1200796E1 units, allowing additional
TDM to IP conversions. The user limit on the 1200796L1 remains unchanged.
• SIP trunks that require the NetVanta 7100 to perform transcoding. This conversion is required if the SIP
trunk provider does not support G.729.
• Use of the Echo Return Loss (ERL) tool.
While there are no further known constraints for other features at this time, keep updated on any future
advisory by ADTRAN. The recommended hardware for the AOS A2.05 and later features is 1200796E1.
Contact your ADTRAN representative about the options available to you if you have a 1200796L1 unit,
and want to use a newer release.

Software Requirements and Limitations

This section defines the recommended firmware/software versions necessary for the related aspects of the
NetVanta Unified Communications solution.
AOS Firmware Image Storage
AOS firmware images can be stored on flash/non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) as well as on
®
CompactFlash memory. However, it is recommended that the primary firmware image be stored on
flash/NONVOL and the backup firmware be stored on CompactFlash.
To copy the current image from flash/NVRAM to CompactFlash, use the copy flash <filename> cflash
<filename> command.
Required AOS Bootcode Version
When upgrading to AOS version R10.7.1, an upgrade to bootcode version A2.06.B1.01 is required. Check
the table in Minimum Software or Firmware Required for Interoperability on page 5
required minimum Boot ROM. Contact ADTRAN Technical Support for this bootcode version and
instructions for loading it.
