Software Installation
About Installing and Upgrading Software
You can install software manually or you can install it using the MCD
Software Installer tool. The software installation process formats the
hard drive and installs new software.
To upgrade the controller software or to install a software patch, you must
use the latest release of the Software Installer. You can upgrade multiple
controllers simultaneously over the LAN.
Perform remote upgrades and installations by connecting to the customer
corporate LAN or through the 3300 ICP WAN port. Refer to “Getting
Started” in the Software Installer Tool Online Help for details.
Software Installation Requirements:
Installation/Maintenance PC requirements (page 13)
IP address of the 3300 ICP (System IP for the MXe Server; RTC IP for
all other controllers)
3300 ICP username and password
3300 ICP software CD (or a copy of the 3300 ICP software)
Mitel MCD Software Installer Tool (for a true upgrade)
3300 ICP Mitel Options Password (page 8)
Database backup with voice mail messages (page 130)
MXe Server only: If installing Mitel Standard Linux (MSL) and Mitel
Communications Director, you must have the Mitel Communications
Director Installation CD, and an external CD/DVD drive.
Note: You can automate the process of downloading, installing, and
activating software by programming scheduled events in the System
Administration Tool. For details, refer to “Software Events” in the 3300
System Administration Tool Help.
Tip: Before installing new software on the 3300 ICP, read the RN for the
software you are installing (see “3300 ICP Documentation - Mitel eDocs” on
page 8). Find out if any other software or firmware components of the
3300 ICP need to be upgraded to work with the new software.
CAUTION: If you decrease or increase the number of IP User
Licenses, follow the instructions in Table 10 to avoid losing all
your data.
