4 Upgrading Server Software

The software on the Bizfon 7000 server is upgradable. Before performing an upgrade, be aware that:

• It is highly recommended that you perform an OfficeSafe backup prior to performing the upgrade (see

Backing up and Restoring Data).

• An upgrade will require a reboot of the server. So, the system should be idle (no phone or data users)

when this is done.

To upgrade the software on the server, go to the Maintenance / Update web administration page. (In most

cases the web administration pages can be viewed with various web browsers, but for this task it is

recommended that you use the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser.) You will see a page like this:

As you can see, there are two steps involved: copying the files to the update area and activating the update.

4.1 Step 1: Copy Files to the Update Area

The copy step allows two alternatives: letting the sever download the software update files from the web or

your copying update files that you already have to an FTP window. Let’s look at each of these alternatives in

more detail.

4.1.1 Alternative 1: Download from the Web

When you click on the download from the web link, the server makes a connection to a web site on the

Internet that has the software and begins to download it to the server. Of course, if your server can’t get to the

Internet, this will fail. So, make sure that your Internet connectivity is working. Depending on the performance

of your Internet connection, this will take awhile (as of this writing, the download is about 32M bytes). After the

download is complete, the web browser will pop up a window like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... 75 76
