PGRADING THE

V7111

To upgrade the V7111 (load new software or auxiliary files onto the VoIP gateway) use the
Software Update feature, available through the Embedded Web Server.

The ‘Software Update’ menu comprises two submenus:

Software Upgrade Wizard

ƒ

Software Update Wizard (see

).

ƒ

Auxiliary Files (see

Updating the Auxiliary Files

).

When you upgrade the V7111 software you

must load the new cmp file with all

other related configuration files: coefficient, Call Progress Tones, Voice Prompts
and Prerecorded Tones.

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 auxiliary files (ini, Call
Progress Tones, Voice Prompts and FXS coefficient files) but this option cannot be pursued
without loading the cmp file. For each auxiliary file type, users can choose to reload an
existing file, load a new file or not load a file at all.

The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the device to be reset at the end of the
process. This disrupts any traffic existing on the device. To avoid disruption,
disable all traffic on the device before initiating the Wizard.

To use the Software Upgrade Wizard, follow these 9 steps:

1

Stop all traffic on the device (refer to the note above).

2

Open the ‘Software Upgrade Wizard’ (Software Update menu > Software Upgrade
Wizard

); the ‘Start Software Upgrade’ screen appears.
