Using Bootp; Upgrading The Mediant 1000 - AudioCodes Mediant 1000 User Manual

Notes:
To detect the gateway's IP address, follow one of the procedures
below:
Starting with Boot version 1.92, the gateway can use a host name in the DHCP
request. The host name is set to acl_nnnnn, where nnnnn stands for the gateway's
serial number (the serial number is equal to the last 6 digits of the MAC address
converted from Hex to decimal). If the DHCP server registers this host name to a DNS
server, the user can access the gateway (through a Web browser) using a URL of
http://acl_<serial number> (instead of using the gateway's IP address). For example, if
the gateway's MAC address is 00908f010280, the DNS name is acl_66176.
After physically resetting the gateway its IP address is displayed in the 'Client Info'
column in the BootP/TFTP configuration utility (refer to
Use a serial communication software (refer to Section
Contact your System Administrator.

Upgrading the Mediant 1000

When upgrading the Mediant 1000 (loading new software onto the gateway) using the
BootP/TFTP configuration utility:
From version 4.4 to version 4.4 or to any higher version, the device retains its
configuration (ini file). However, the auxiliary files (CPT, logo, etc.) may be erased.
From version 4.6 to version 4.6 or to any higher version, the device retains its
configuration (ini file) and auxiliary files (CPT, logo, etc.).
You can also use the Software Upgrade wizard, available through the Web Interface (refer
to Section 5.8.1
Note:
SIP User's Manual
•
If, during operation, the IP address of the gateway is changed as a
result of a DHCP renewal, the gateway is automatically reset.
•
If the gateway's network cable is disconnected and reconnected, a
DHCP renewal is performed (to verify that the gateway is still
connected to the same network).
When DHCP is enabled, the gateway also includes its product name
(e.g., 'Mediant 1000') in the DHCP 'option 60' Vendor Class Identifier.
The DHCP server can use this product name to assign an IP address
accordingly.
•
After power-up, the gateway performs two distinct DHCP sequences.
Only in the second sequence, DHCP 'option 60' is contained. If the
gateway is reset from the Web/SNMP, only a single DHCP sequence
containing 'option 60' is sent. If DHCP procedure is used, the new
gateway IP address, allocated by the DHCP server, must be detected
on page 191).
To save the cmp file to non-volatile memory, use the -fb command line
switch. If the file is not saved, the gateway reverts to the old version of
software after the next reset. For information on using command line
switches, refer to Section
