Dect Software - Avaya DECT R4 Installation Manual

3.1 DECT Software

Before beginning installation, in addition to having IP Office Manager installed, you need to unpack the DECT R4 software
onto your programming PC.
DECT R4 is supported on a range of Avaya systems. However, for IP Office operation, only firmware specifically
documented as having been tested and supported with IP Office should be used. Details of supported firmware will be
included in IP Office Technical Bulletins and Technical Tips.
1. On the programming PC, create a folder with a name indicating its purpose, for example c:\IP_DECT_R4.
2. Within the IP Office Administrator Application software (ie. the software from which IP Office Manager is installed),
locate the folder IPDECT.
3. The folder contains a file DECT R4.zip. This is the file containing software for DECT R4. The file IPDECT.zip
contains software for the previously supported IP DECT product and not for DECT R4.
4. Copy the DECT R4.zip file to the folder created on the programming PC.
5. Using WinZip or a similar tool, extract the contents of the zip file into the folder, maintaining the directory structure
of the zip files.
6. The set of files should appear similar to the following.
7. Open the IP Base Station folder and note the software level shown as part of the .bin file filenames. All the base
station in the installed system should be run the same levels of software.
8. Open the Handsets folder and note the software level shown as part of the .pkg file filenames. The handsets in the
system should be running this level of software or higher.
Device Management
During installation (provision or non-provisioned) it may be necessary to upgrade the software being used by the 3720,
3725, 3740 or 3749 phones. This is done in one of two ways:
· Windows Device Manager
The Windows device manager application can be used to upgrade the software of phones placed in an advanced
charger and connected to the PC via USB or LAN. If using this method, install the Windows Device Manager
software and load the parameter definition files supplied with the DECT R4 software.
· AIWS Device Management
The AIWS device includes an integrated version of device manager that can be used to perform over the air
upgrades. This method is only recommended for the maintenance of an existing system. For upgrades during
installation of a new system, the use of Windows Device Manager is recommended.
