This section describes two methods for upgrading the Cisco ATA software for the MGCP protocol:
This section also describes procedures for verifying a successful image upgrade:
 |
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. |
You can configure the Cisco ATA to automatically download the latest signaling image from the TFTP server. You do this by 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.
upgradecode:3,0x301,0x0400,0x0200,tftp_server_ip,69,image_id,image_file_name
ata186-v{M}-{N}-{yymmdd}{a-f}{ext}
Whenever the Cisco ATA administrator stores a new signaling image (denoted by a change to the image_id), the Cisco ATA upgrades its firmware with the new image_file. To contact the TFTP server, the Cisco ATA uses the TFTP server IP address that is contained within the value of the upgradecode parameter.
The upgradecode parameter value could be:
upgradecode:3,0x301,0x0400,0x0200,192.168.2.170,69,0x020723a,ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup
This instructs the Cisco ATA to upgrade its firmware to ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup by downloading the ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup file from the TFTP server IP address of 192.168.2.170. This download occurs after the Cisco ATA downloads its configuration file that contains the directive from the upgradecode parameter. Also, the upgrade occurs only if the internally cached image_id in Cisco ATA is different from the value 0x020723a.
This section describes how to manually upgrade the Cisco ATA with the most recent signaling image. The executable file that you need is called ata186us.exe, and is bundled in the Cisco ATA release-software zip file.
This section contains the following topics:
Before you run the executable file, be sure to complete the following procedure:
Step 2 Locate the zip file that contains the software for the applicable release and signaling image you are using. The contents of each file are described next to the file name. Extract the signaling image file (this file has an extension of .zup—For example, ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup) and store it on the PC that has connectivity with the Cisco ATA.
Step 3 Set the Cisco ATA parameter UseTftp to 0.
|
Note Remember to set this parameter back to 1 before you use the TFTP upgrade method at a later time. |
Step 4 Follow the instructions in the "Running the Executable File" section.
This section includes the procedure for running the executable file and using the voice configuration menu to complete the upgrade process. First check to make sure the upgrade requirements are met and determine the syntax to use when running the program.
This section contains the following topics:
The following list contains the requirements for using the ata186us.exe file and the voice configuration menu to upgrade the Cisco ATA to the latest signaling image:
ata186us [-any] {-h[host_ip]} {-p[port]} {-quiet} [-d1 -d2 -d3] <image file>
To upgrade the Cisco ATA to the signaling image ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup, you can use the following syntax:
ata186us -any -d1 ata186-v2-15-020723a.zup
To perform the upgrade, follow these steps:
Step 2 On the Cisco ATA, press the function button to invoke the voice configuration menu.
Step 3 Using the telephone keypad, enter the following:
100# ip_address_of_PC * port #
This is the IP address of the PC and the port number at the DOS prompt where you invoked the ata186us.exe file.
For example, if the IP address is 192.168.1.10, and the port number is 8000 (the default), then enter:
When the upgrade is complete, the "Upgrade Successful" prompt will sound.
|
Note When upgrading many Cisco ATAs manually, you can save the software-upgrade dial-pad sequence in your telephone's speed-dial, and use this sequence repeatedly. |
You can verify that you have successfully upgraded the Cisco ATA signaling image by using one of the following methods:
To use your web browser to verify a successful image upgrade, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Enter the IP address of your Cisco ATA Web configuration page:
http://< IP address>/dev
Step 3 Refresh the page to clear the cache.
The image version number and its build date should appear at the bottom-left corner of the Cisco ATA Web configuration page.
To use the voice configuration menu to verify a successful image upgrade, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Press the function button on the Cisco ATA.
Step 3 Press 123# on the telephone keypad to play out the image version number.
Press 123123# on the telephone keypad to play out the image build date.
