SX-200 ICP MX Technician’s Handbook
Upgrading the System Software
You can upgrade system software either from the external CompactFlash
card or by FTP, unless upgrading from a Release 1.x system. The internal
media in 1.x systems require repartitioning, which can only be done with a
CompactFlash card that has an “Initial Installation” software load.
Upgrading does not alter the currently installed database.
Release 1.x systems upgraded to Release 2.0 or later no longer require
that the external CompactFlash remain in the controller at all times.
Upgrading from Release 1.x to Release 2.0 or later
The recommended procedure for upgrading Release 1.x systems is as
follows:
1. Back up the database to an FTP server. See page 203 for instructions.
2. Unplug the power cord from the controller.
3. Remove the external CompactFlash.
4. Run the Initial [CompactFlash card] Installation from the SX-200 ICP
software CD-ROM. See page 35 for more detailed instructions.
5. Insert the CompactFlash card into the slot on the front of the controller.
6. Power up the controller.
7. Wait for the CompactFlash status LED to turn GREEN, and for the
phones to come up, indicating that the upgrade is complete.
8. Remove the CompactFlash card.
9. Update the IP settings to enable the database to be restored by FTP.
10. Restore the database. See page 204 for instructions.
After the database file is restored, the system automatically resets and
reboots.
11. To prevent unnecessary alarms, revise the Alarm Thresholds in
Maintenance and check the bay number assignments in Form 53.
Note: De-program phantom bays programmed on the Release 1.x
system before migrating to Release 2.0 or later.
IMPORTANT: Use a Mitel-supplied 256 MB CompactFlash card.
DO NOT partition the card and DO NOT copy files to it before
proceeding with the software installation.
