UNIVERGE SV8100

Enhancements

To upgrade main system software from a remote requires the installation of USB.

With Version 6000 or higher system software and using an MEMDB, installation of USB on the

system is not required for remotely upgrading the system.

With Version 9000 or higher software, Web Pro has been enhanced to allow for remote upgrade and

is only available in the Manufacture (MF) and Installer (IN) level logins.

With PCPro or WebPro, 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 the PCPro or WebPro 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 connection is NOT supported for Remote

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 they click start

(2:00PM), it begins transferring the file to the system. At this time the telephone system

experiences sluggishness until the file transfer is complete. When the time turns to

12:00AM, the telephone system resets and switches to the new firmware.

The Package file needed is provided by NEC at the time the new version of main system

software is released. Use files found in the Field Upgrade Folder to upgrade the system

with or without MEMDB. For Version 6000 or higher you can use file found in Remote

Upgrade to upgrade the system with MEMDB.

For Version 5000 or lower a USB drive is required to be connected to CN5 for Remote

(System) Upgrade that has a MEMDB or No MEMDB. During the Firmware Upgrade, the

Package file is copied to the USB drive and extracted. The system then resets and boots

off the USB drive.

Booting from the USB drive does not replace the firmware in Flash Memory on the
