8.2 INSTALLING THE FIRMWARE / CONFIGURATION FILES
When the phone starts, the phone fetches the configuration file from the software
server and load new firmware if the application file on the software server differs
compared to the one stored in the phone.
To force the phones to read the configuration files and to restart the phone if necessary,
there are a number of options:
MX-ONE command
• extension_unregistration. If the forced parameter is used, the local configuration
settings are cleared. The terminal has to be manually logged on with extension
number and PIN code.
MX-ONE Service Node Manager
• Telephony > IP Phone > Unregistration
Phone UI
• Options > Restart Phone
Web UI
• Log in to the web interface. Click on Operation > Reset > Restart Phone
8.3 FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Firmware upgrade can be done in one of the following ways:
• Web UI: Advanced settings > Firmware Update
• The phone will automatically look for firmware update and configuration files
during the boot process.
• Define in the configuration file aastra.cfg/startup.cfg if and when phones shall
check for new firmware and changed configuration file. Both registered and not
registered terminals will be updated. Example from the configuration file:
