IP Station Image upgrade

Introduction

This is a guide on how to carry out a full image upgrade of STENTOFON IP stations.

There are two ways of doing a full image upgrade, locally on each station using its web server, or a distributed upgrade initiated from AlphaWeb. See also section 5.2.

Equipment needed

The following equipment is needed to do a full image upgrade of the STENTOFON IP Station:

• A PC running a tftp-server and a web browser tftpd32.exe is provided by Zenitel
• The IP station to be upgraded
• A software upgrade package for IP stations provided by Zenitel.

Software package

The software package from Zenitel will contain the following files:

• A IP Station image file,

A100G80222.xxxx.bin (xxxx = version)

• A text file containing a checksum for the image file,

A10080222.xxxx.txt.

• A text file named tftp_test.txt, used to check the tftp-connection during the upgrade

In addition to this, Zenitel can provide a TFTP server application, tftpd32, or the application can be downloaded from: http://tftpd32.jounin.net.

Local Upgrade

To do a local image upgrade on one IP Station, do the following:

Full upgrade menu button

• Install and configure the tftp-server application tftp32 as described in section 12.3.1
• Unpack the .bin and .txt files from the image upgrade package provided by Zenitel into the defined base-directory for tftpd32. (For installation and use of tftp32.xxx, see 12.3.1)
• Start tftpd32.xxx by clicking on the tftpd32.xxx.exe file. If there is a firewall blocking tftpd32.xxx, unblock it to open the tftp-port in the firewall
• Open a web browser on the PC and enter the IP Stations IP address in the address field
• Log on to the station web server and choose System Upgrade -> Full Upgrade from the menu
• Enter the TFTP server IP address (the IP-address of the PC running tftpd32.xxx). The IP address is displayed in the tftpd32-window on the PC
• Enter the filename for the IP Station image which is: A100G80222.xxxx.bin where xxxx is the software version

• Open the corresponding A100G80222.xxxx.txt file to find the checksum for the image. Copy and Enter this value into the CRC field in the web server
• Press Save Settings.

A TFTP connection check will now be performed by the program. If the connection is OK, a status window will show the applied parameters and an Upgrade button is displayed.

• Verify that the image filename and checksum is correct,

then press Upgrade to initiate a full image upgrade.

After about 3 minutes, the station will come up with the same IP address and configuration as before

• To verify that the image has been updated, go to the Station

Info page on the web server and check the current software version.

TFTPD32 Application

tftpd32 is a Windows based application, which can be used to run a TFTP server on a Windows PC. The program can be downloaded from http://tftpd32.jounin.net, but will also be provided by Zenitel together with the software package.

Installing and configuring tftpd32

Settings window for tftpd32. Tftpboot is set as root directory

• Unzip the tftpd32.xxx.zip file.

(e.g. to C: \tftpd32\)

• Run the .exe file.

The program is run by selecting the extracted .exe file, no installation is needed

• Create a folder called “tftpboot”

(e.g. c:\tftpd32\tftpd32.xxx\tftpboot) and set this folder as ‘Base directory’ in tftpd32 (use the Settings button).

• Turn off the DHCP Server under Global Settings

This server part of the tftp32 application may interfere with other DHCP servers in the network

• The TFTP Server program must be running during the Image

upgrade process.
