Core upgrades to 5.0 1

[Zinc666]

Hi Guys,

I'm moving over to 5.0 but it's been ages since I've done some core upgrades. From memory, the procedure I've got down is (we're running 4.0+ at the moment);

1 - Backup IPO configuration
2 - Upgrade IP Office Manager
3 - Run 3rd Party TFTP server (for handset firmware)
4 - Upgrade main unit
5 - Upgrade expansion modules (digital first, then analogue)
6 - Backup VMPro configuration
7 - Upgrade VMPro

Are there any other recommendations or anything else I should watch out for? Any help is really appreciated.

Many thanks indeed.

you can skip 3 and upgrade the dsv2 module to 3.2.999 first.
You do not need to do digital or analog first.

Thanks tlpeter. All of our modules run at least 4.0 (reported as 6.0+ in Manager) - I shouldn't need to use intermediate firmware then should I?

I've used a 3rd party TFTP server in the past because I thought there was a limit on how many handsets Manager could upgrade at a time. Is this no longer needed?

Lastly, should I upgrade the main unit and each module seperately or can I do the whole lot in one go?

Cheers.

No longer needed, it is unlimited now.
You can try the whole lot but if you have a DS16v2 or a DS30v2 then you need to upgrade those to 3.2.999 first
Then you can do them all at the same time.
