Turbine Software Upgrade
From Zenitel Wiki
This article describes how to upgrade the software of the Turbine series of intercom devices via the web interface of the station. This process is best used for upgrading only a few stations.
It is possible to upgrade the software using the VS-IMT tool, see the article VS-IMT Upgrade Stations. The VS-IMT tool allows mass upgrade of stations.
Note that there is a separate Upgrade procedure for INCA IP stations.
If the station is in SIP mode, Automatic Updates can also be defined.
