Phones 1100 Series, the blue LED starts to flash. After the

FW image is written to the phone, the message [FW] finished

displays, the blue LED stops flashing, and the phone resets. The

phone registers to the TPS with the new FW version.

Manual TFTP Download from BootC Procedure

This method of upgrading the firmware is normally used only when you

need to force the phone to restore an older firmware version. To use this

method, the firmware must be placed on the TFTP Server, and you must

manually configure the phone to point to that TFTP Server. The BootC

firmware carries out the upgrade. To initiate the firmware download task,

BootC must be triggered to run.

You can create the configuration file with a default file name, such as

1140E.img so you do not have to change the file name each time a new

IP Phone 1140E firmware load is released. However, if you take this

approach, be sure to rename the released firmware file (for example,

0625Cxx.bin) to the default file name when the new firmware file is copied

into the TFTP Server root directory and to update the VERSION string in

the configuration file.

After the configuration file and the image file are in the TFTP Server root

directory, use Procedure 171 “Upgrading the firmware using BootC” (page

655) to upgrade the firmware using BootC.

Procedure 171

Upgrading the ﬁrmware using BootC

Step Action

1 Hold down the [Up] and [2] keys, and while doing so, repower

the phone. When the phone restarts, it loads and runs BootC

instead of the application. When the Msg Waiting LEDs go off,

you can release the [Up] and [2] keys.

2 The following text menu on a white background appears:

Manual Configuration

Nortel

If you do not see this message, you are in the wrong menu.

Repeat step 1. If BootC is damaged from a power reset, hold

down the [Up] and [3] keys to use the backup BootC.
