Administration Standard 3.1
Automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade
When you configure the Remote Gateway 9150 unit to perform an automatic or
scheduled firmware upgrade using the Auto Upgrade Configuration property
sheet, the Remote Gateway 9150 unit queries the predefined TFTP server and
upgrades the firmware automatically. Refer to “Auto upgrade configuration” on
page 243 for further details.
Nortel recommends the following when performing an automatic or scheduled
firmware upgrade:
1 Complete the procedures in “Before you begin” on page 339 prior to
configuring the automatic or scheduled upgrade.
2 Complete the procedures in “Creating a backup configuration file” on page
282 before performing an automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade.
Notes:
!
The automatic or scheduled firmware upgrade only performs upgrades on
the Remote Gateway 9100 Series units you configure on the Auto Upgrade
Configuration property sheets. In order for the automatic or scheduled
firmware upgrade to complete, place the ro-ver.txt file in the same TFTP
server directory as you place the .upg file.
!
You must perform firmware upgrades on the Remote Gateway 9150 unit’s
BRI module firmware separately. Refer to “Upgrading the Remote
Gateway 9150 unit firmware” on page 340 for further details.
