Software Upgrade Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard guides users through the process of software upgrade: selecting
files and loading them to the gateway. The wizard also enables users to upgrade software while
maintaining the existing configuration. Using the wizard obligates users to load a cmp file. Users
can choose to also use the Wizard to load the ini and auxiliary files (e.g., Call Progress Tones)
but this option cannot be pursued without loading the cmp file. For the ini and each auxiliary file
type, users can choose to reload an existing file, load a new file or not load a file at all.

When upgrading the MP-1xx software you must load the new cmp file with all
other related configuration files.
The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the MP-1xx to be reset at the end of
the process, disrupting any of its traffic. To avoid disruption, disable all traffic
on the MP-1xx before initiating the Wizard.
