UNIVERGE SV8100

With PC Programming, the UNIVERGE SV8100 can be remotely upgraded to a newer version of main

system software. When a new version of main system software is released, a firmware package file is

provided. Using either the WebPro or PCPro application, a technician can remotely upgrade the

firmware on the CD-CP00-US. The upgrade can be applied immediately, or at a scheduled date and

time. Remote Upgrade is supported only via a LAN connection. A modem or serial connection is NOT

supported for Remote Upgrade.

When doing a Firmware Upgrade, the telephone system can become sluggish during the

file transfer portion of the update. You should perform updates after hours, even if the

update is scheduled. The file transfer happens when the update is set. For example, at

2:00PM a technician schedules an update to happen at 12:00AM. When he/she clicks start

(2:00PM), it begins transferring the file to the USB thumbdrive on the CD-CP00-US. At this

time the telephone system experiences sluggishness until the file transfer is complete.

software is released.

A USB thumbdrive is required to be connected to the CN5 connector for Remote (System)

Upgrade. During the Firmware Upgrade, the Package file is copied to the CF and

extracted. The system then resets and boots off the compact flash.

Up to two versions of firmware are kept on the USB thumbdrive. One version is the current

version that the CD-CP00-US used to boot up from. The other version is the new version

that is used on the next boot up. If the boot up fails when switching to the new version, the

CD-CP00-US can revert back to the old version.

The CD-CP00-US boots from its Flash Memory if no USB thumbdrive is installed.

The time entered on the Firmware Upgrade screens is relative to the time on the

CD-CP00-US, not the PC that PCPro or WebPro was launched from. The user should take

into account time zone differences when using this feature.

The time to upload a firmware package file is directly related to the file size. Generally, it

takes a few minutes.

Remote Upgrade is supported only via LAN connection. A modem or serial connection is

not supported for Remote Upgrade.
