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.

Note icon {{{1}}}


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.

Upgrade Turbine from version 4.2.x.x to newer version

Prerequisites

  1. A TFTP Server must be available. A TFTP server can be downloaded from here: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html.
  2. Download the software package sti-4.7.3.2.zip, and unzip the package and store the files in a different folder on your PC.
  3. Check if your local firewall is not blocking incoming ping/ICMP (Turbine station is pinging TFTP Server during update process)

Upgrade procedure

The upgrade is a two step process:

  • First step is to update the bootloader environment
  • Second step is to update the station firmware

1. Start the TFTP server program and click Browse, and select the folder where the version 4.7.3.2 software files are located
