Updating The Software Of A Simplex Aastra System R5.1 To R5.2 - Aastra AXD Installation And Maintenance Manual

6.7

Updating the software of a simplex Aastra system R5.1 to R5.2

Note : See also Aastra Management Portal operating manual.
6.7.1 Principle
This procedure for updating to R5.2 applies to systems running already in R5.1 (AXD,
AXL, AXS, AXS12 and AXS6).
To keep the IVB function, you must upgrade a 1GB CF card to 2 GB; during this upgrade
to R5.2 refer to Chapter 6.12 - Upgrading from a 1 GB compact flash card to a 2 GB
compact flash card.
A backup must be made before starting the upgrade procedure.
The new software licence associated with R5.2 must be retrieved before starting the
procedure.
The different modes are:
• From AMP,
• From Aastra Management AM 7450.
Nota : During the restart phase following the upgrade phase, communications are
interrupted.
6.7.2 Upgrading the software from AMP
The function is executed from the AMP, in the menu SYSTEM/Software maintenance/
Upgrade.
A software upgrade may be of several types:
• New
X_A5000_R5.2_SP1_B700.tar.gz
• Software upgrade for a given SA release, which corresponds to functional
enhancements, example: X_A5000_R5.2_RC_D101.tar.gz
• Upgrade for a given release, which only corresponds to anomaly corrections, example:
X_A5000_R5.2_SP1_B701.tar.gz.
The A5000_Infra software delivery directory may, therefore, contain several directory
types corresponding to these different types of upgrade:
• Upgrade for software upgrade releases
• Delta for anomaly corrections.
These software elements will be loaded on the Compact Flash card located on the Aastra
series CPU card.
Two media types can be used:
• CDROM
