F. UPLOADING IP DEVICES
12.6 The latest version of the Upload Utility (previously called the Board Utility) allows you
to upgrade multiple IP devices at once. This feature was implemented to assist installers who
need to upgrade the IP devices to take advantage of the version 8.1 and later features (i.e.,
peer-to-peer audio).
12.7 With the Upload Utility, you can also save your settings so that you do not have to con-
figure information for every upload. For example, you can create an entry used strictly for
IPRCs on Node 2. Or, you can create one for all hard IP endpoints, such as the Model 8660, in
your network.
12.8 The Inter-Tel Upload Utility application allows you to upload object code to upgrade
the firmware in IP devices.
NOTE: If uploading boot code to the IPC, make sure to move the boot-sector protection jumper
to the top two pins for the upload.
1. Click New or select New from the File menu to create an entry.
2. Enter a description, up to 40 characters, in the Settings For field that allows you to
identify the connection type. For example, if creating a setting for the IP devices on
node 2, enter Node 2 IP Devices.
3. Select IPP+/IP SLA - (IP Phones) as the “Board” type. The Username field is automati-
cally populated (IPT) in the Network tab.
4. Click Browse in the Network tab. The Upload Utility queries the network for a list of
IP addresses for Inter-Tel devices on the network. This information is then displayed in
the Browse IP Address screen and includes the following:
• IP Address: The IP address of the board or device found on the network.
• Hostname: The hostname assigned to the board or device.
• Description: The description used to identify the board or device in DB Program-
ming. For IP phones, this is the station description.
5. Highlight the IP address of the desired device and click Add. To add all IP addresses or
hostnames, click
Add without highlighting any items. The selected IP addresses are
added to the list box in the main screen.
NOTE: To add multiple addresses/hostnames, use the standard Windows SHIFT +
click or CTRL + click method.
6.
Click Save to save the settings. At the prompt, click Yes to confirm the save.
NOTICE
Inter-Tel recommends that you upgrade the firmware on the IP endpoints BEFORE you
upgrade the IPRC. If you upgrade the IPRC first, the endpoints cannot connect to the IPRC,
but they continuously try. During these connection attempts, the Upload Utility cannot con-
nect with the endpoints.
