NOTICE: Some gateways directly support file transfer as a means of upgrading
IADs. For information, refer to the Voice Gateway manufacturer’s
operating manual.
To use TFTP, you must configure both the IAD and the computer that
contains the TFTP Server program, a program for the computer that you
license separately.
Using TFTP Servers via LAN or WAN
Before the IAD can access a LAN or Intranet-based TFTP server, you must
configure the IP address of the Ethernet port (page 2-6) on the same subnet as
your TFTP server, and the IAD must be connected to the LAN.
To access a WAN-based server, you must configure the WAN interface with
a management DLCI or PVC and a WAN IP address. For information about
setting the IP address of the WAN port, see Setting the WAN Port IP Address
on page 2-8 or WAN Configuration Menu on page 4-5.
Copying the Source Files
Typically, you will receive two ZIP files (a core ZIP file and an application
ZIP file) for each upgrade.
First, extract each file into a single directory on your PC. Then, set the
directory as the path that the TFTP Server will use to send files to the IAD
(often identified as upload/download or outbound directory).
Upgrading via TFTP
If your TFTP Server is not running, start it now and note the IP address of the
computer it is running on. To upgrade the IAD software, follow the steps
below.
1 On the Main menu, type “9” to display the Utilities menu (see Figure 2.2).
2 Type “X” to display the File Transfer menu.

3 Type “X” to update the entire system (you must use TFTP).
