Upgrading Software

As noted earlier (see the section Implementing a Software Upgrade above),

the Upgrade Software command transfers, from the controller PC to the

MultiVOIP unit, firmware (including the H.323 stack) and settings. The

settings can be either Factory Default Settings or Current Configuration

Settings.

NOTE:

To upgrade a MultiVOIP from software version 6.04 or earlier, an ftp primer

file must first be sent to the VOIP. This file is located in the
Software/ftp_Primer folder on the CD and the file name is
"FTP_Primer.bin". Before uploading this file, it must be renamed
"mvpt1ftp.bin". The VoIP will only accept files of this name. This is a
safety precaution to prevent the wrong files from being uploaded to the
VoIP. Once the primer file has been uploaded, upload the FTP firmware file.
If you accepted the defaults during the software loading process, this file is
located on your local drive at C:\Program Files\Multi-Tech
Systems\MultiVOIP 6.08 where the X is the software number and the .08 is
the version number of the MultiVOIP software on your local drive. Of
course the firmware file is named ‘mvpt1ftp.bin’.

Important:

You cannot go back to 6.04 or earlier versions using FTP. You

must use ‘upgradesoftware’ via the serial port.

Important:

These ftp upgrade instructions do not apply to software release

6.05 and above.
