10. Software Maintenance
The NetLink e340/i640 Wireless Telephones use proprietary software programs written
and maintained by SpectraLink Corporation. The software versions that are running on
the Wireless Telephones can be displayed during power on by holding down the
Power
On
key.
SpectraLink or its authorized dealer will provide information about software updates and
how to obtain the software (for example, downloading from a web site).
10.1 Upgrading Wireless Telephones
After software updates are obtained from SpectraLink, they must be transferred to the
appropriate location in the LAN to update the code used by the Wireless Telephones.
NetLink e340/i640 Wireless Telephones allow over-the-air transfer of software updates
from the designated TFTP server to the Wireless Telephones. The downloader function in
the Wireless Telephone checks its software version every time the Wireless Telephone is
powered on. If there is any discrepancy, the Wireless Telephone immediately begins to
download the update.
Normal Download Messages
When the Wireless Telephone is powered on, it displays a series of messages indicating
that it is searching for new software, checking the versions, and downloading. The
normal message progression is:
