Firmware Upgrade Parameters

The upgradecode and upgradelang parameters are special parameters that provide

information on how to upgrade firmware code or language image.

The values are:

• upgrade_policy

• hardware_version

• software_type

• software_version

• tftp_ip_address

• tftp_port

• image_id

• firmware_image_file_name

All values must be present. Except for upgrade_policy field, Cisco supplies the

values to be used when a new upgrade image becomes available

The values are:

• upgrade_policy—one of the following:

–

default upgrade— software_type must be the same as the current

Cisco ATA 186. Internal software_type and software_version must be

greater than the current internal software_version for the upgrade to take

place.

–

cross software type upgrade—the software_type can be different but

software_version must be greater than the current firmware internal

version.

–

force upgrade—the image_id is used to determine if the upgrade has been

performed (a different image ID from the Cisco ATA 186 internally

stored image ID means a forced upgrade is needed).

• hardware_version— 0x301. The hardware version must match exactly for

upgrade to take place.

• tftp_ip_address, tftp_port—TFTP IP and port address where the firmware

can be found.
