The Model 8690 uses three types of software:
•
Operating system (Windows CE .NET, see page 13 ).
• Firmware (endpoint features and functions).
• Inter-Tel Personal Communicator (see page 26 ).
The endpoint requires occasional upgrades (newer software versions) or updates
(revisions to existing software versions), which are downloaded from the system
server.
Downloading Upgrades and Updates
Firmware updates and upgrades download automatically. When Inter-Tel Personal
Communicator and Windows CE .NET updates or upgrades are available, the system
notifies you with a message box. Click
OK to download the update or upgrade, or you
can choose to download them later (see below).
To set a reminder to download and install an update or upgrade:
1. In the Software Upgrade dialog box, select a reminder time from the drop-down
list.
2. Tap Remind Me Later . After the specified time has elapsed, the Software
Upgrade dialog box opens, prompting you to install the pending upgrade.
Setting the File Destination for Downloads
After downloading, the application launches the Windows CE .NET installation pro-
gram and installs the new client application version. You are then prompted for the
file destination (\\Mounted Volume\8690 Phone).
To set the file destination:
1. Tap OK to continue with the installation.
2. Tap Yes when prompted to overwrite existing files.
CAUTION
Endpoint Damage Hazard. Do not tap Cancel when the installation dialog box
prompts you for the new file destination. At this point the previous client applica-
tion has been deleted. If you cancel the upgrade, you must contact your net-
work administrator to manually reinstall the client application.
Also, do not change the default location (\\Mounted Volume\8690 Phone) speci-
fied in the installation dialog box. The client application must be installed in the
Mounted Volume folder to survive a reset or an upgrade to the operating system.
