4.9.1 Enabling Automatic Firmware Updates from the Server
The network administrator must locate the phone's firmware file on the Skype for Business
server's embedded automatic upgrading facility, and configure the server to provision the
phone. The facility allows for centralized automated phone upgrade to the latest firmware
version. The firmware of any phone connected to the facility can be automatically upgraded
from the facility. The phone then periodically - usually once a day - checks the Skype for
Business server's automatic upgrading facility to determine if the firmware file on the phone
is different to the firmware located on the Skype for Business server. The firmware file on the
phone will be updated if it's different to the firmware located on the Skype for Business server.
