B169 with Avaya IP DECT SC firmware version 450.B7 2

[Nortel4Ever]

Has anyone had any success loading the 450.B7 firmware on a B169 IP DECT SC? This is the firmware required so that the B169 is recognized as an Avaya device and not as a third-party device.

My IPO has been upgraded to 11.0 FP4 SP1 which is one of the two requirements. The other requirement is to load this firmware on the phone using a SD card. I have downloaded the firmware, copied it to the SD card and renamed it "upgrade.fwu" per the documentation. When I try to install the software I get the following error. "Failure - File Not Found". I have formatted the SD card and re-downloaded and re-copied, and re-named the firmware file to try loading this firmware again but still the same error.

We got the phone working and recognized properly at a B169 by the IP Office.

The documentation for installing the 450 B7 firmware leads you to believe that it's done with an SD card and the B169 phone. This is NOT the case! The 450 B7 firmware needs to be installed on the IP DECT base station using a TFTP server.

In its entirety the documentation for all aspects of this B169 product is terrible.

The time and labor we wasted could have been put towards a more expensive 3rd party license with a Polycom wireless IP conference phone instead.

I'm sorry did you follow a guide for that, maybe you can share or is it straight forward

For upgrading the base station, see (InstallingandAdministeringIPDECTSCBaseStation) Start at page 51

You will need to install solar winds TFTP on your computer. Have it running.
It will create a default file path on your hard drive C:\TFTP-Root
Add a folder 9430 and place in TFTP-Root and the place (9430_v0450_b0007.fwu) in 9430
File path should be C:\TFTP-Root\9430
Login to base and navigate to Firmware Update
Use IP address of your computer for update server. Make sure windows firewall is off.
Leave firmware path blank
Use required version “450” Required Branch ”7”
Watch the solar winds console for the base to grab the firmware. Lights will flash on base. Wait until base is solid green then log back in.

TFTP32/64 and HFS never fail me ever, not in a million years.
