5.8 Software Update
The Software Update menu enables users to upgrade the Mediant 1000 software by
loading a new cmp file along with the ini and a suite of auxiliary files, or to update the
existing auxiliary files.
The ‘Software Update’ menu comprises the following submenus:
 Software Upgrade Wizard (refer to Section 5.8.1 below)
 Load Auxiliary Files (refer to Section 5.8.2 on page 189)
 Software Upgrade Key (refer to section 5.8.3 on page 191)
Note: When upgrading the Mediant 1000 software, you must load the new cmp
file with all other related configuration files.
5.8.1 Software Upgrade Wizard
The Software Upgrade Wizard guides users through the process of software upgrade:
selecting files and loading them to the gateway. The wizard also enables users to upgrade
software while maintaining the existing configuration. Using the wizard obligates users to
load and burn a cmp file. Users can choose to also use the wizard to load the ini and
auxiliary files (e.g., Call Progress Tones), but this option cannot be pursued without loading
the cmp file. For the ini and each auxiliary file type, users can choose to reload an existing
file, load a new file or not load a file at all.
Warning: The Software Upgrade Wizard requires the Mediant 1000 to be reset
at the end of the process, which may disrupt its traffic. To avoid this,
disable all traffic on the device before initiating the wizard by
performing a graceful lock (refer to Section 5.9.1 on page 192).
¾ To use the Software Upgrade Wizard, take these 11 steps:
1. Stop all traffic on the Mediant 1000 (refer to the note above).
2. Open the ‘Software Upgrade Wizard’ (Software Update menu > Software Upgrade
Wizard); the ‘Start Software Upgrade’ screen appears.
