INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPDATING FIRMWARE
In order to take advantage of new features, you need to update the firmware on all of your TalkSwitch units. This process will require that the system not be used for phone calls for between 3-45 minutes per unit (depending on memory usage). During the update the TalkSwitch unit(s) will reboot several times. A completion dialog will notify when the process is complete.
Step 1: Ensure TalkSwitch is connected to the same LAN as your PC. (If necessary connect your PC directly to TalkSwitch using a LAN cable).
Step 2: Run TalkSwitch Management Software. The program will automatically detect connected TalkSwitch units.
Step 3: A Firmware Update Required dialog will appear with information about a mandatory interim update, which TalkSwitch will manage automatically. Click Update to proceed.
Step 4: When software establishes a connection with the TalkSwitch unit, a window will pop up, informing you that new firmware is available. Click Update to proceed.
Step 5: A dialog describing the update process will appear. Click Yes to proceed. A second dialog will appear asking you to lock the system during the update. Click Force Lock to proceed.
A copy of your current TalkSwitch configuration file is saved, then a new configuration file is created, which contains your previous settings and default settings for new features. Progress will be displayed as each essential phone system file is updated. When a completion dialog appears, click OK to proceed.
Step 6: When the update is complete, your newly converted configuration file will be saved to your TalkSwitch units, and the configuration software will open.
Step 7: Prior to using the phone system we strongly recommend you optimize the audio performance of your telephone lines.
From the configuration software left menu select Telephone Lines, then click the Optimize Lines button in theLine Optimization field. An Optimize Lines window will appear. Click the Run Optimization button to proceed.
When the line optimization process is complete click the Close button to return to configuration of your TalkSwitch phone system.
Congratulations! Your TalkSwitch software and firmware updates are complete.
