CH A P T E R 8 Upgrading the Cisco ATA Signaling Image This section describes two methods for upgrading the Cisco ATA software for the H.323 protocol: • Upgrading the Signaling Image from a TFTP Server, page 8-1-This is the Cisco-recommended method for the H.323 protocol. This method is the most efficient method and requires only a one-time configuration change. • Upgrading the Signaling Image Manually, page 8-2-This method can be used if you must manually upgrade the image of one Cisco ATA. However, this method is not the recommended upgrade method because it is not as simple as the TFTP method. This section also describes procedures for verifying a successful image upgrade: • Confirming a Successful Signaling Image Upgrade, page 8-5-Procedures for using your Web browser or the voice configuration menu are included. Caution Do not unplug the Cisco ATA while the function button is blinking. Doing so can cause permanent damage to the device. The function button blinks during an upgrade. Note The term Cisco ATA is used throughout this manual to refer to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the Cisco ATA 188, unless differences between the Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly stated. Upgrading the Signaling Image from a TFTP Server You can configure the Cisco ATA to automatically download the latest signaling image from the TFTP server. You do this configuring the parameter upgradecode in your Cisco ATA configuration file. (You also would use this procedure if you wanted to perform a cross-protocol signaling image upgrade.) For more information about setting up the configuration file, see the "Creating Unique and Common Cisco ATA Configuration Files" section on page 3-9. Syntax of upgradecode Parameter upgradecode:3,0x301,0x0400,0x0200,tftp_server_ip,69,image_id,image_file_name Definitions • The hexadecimal values that precede the tftp_server_ip variable must always be the values shown in the syntax.
