M3900 firmware upgrades

[miller3383]

Please clarify this for me. It is my understanding that an M3904, for example, will upgrade its firmware automatically when installed based on the system version of the Option PBX software. It will either upgrade the 3904 firmware or downgrade it, if it has the newest firmware, based on what the system software revision is?
Correct?

 

[Reusser]

that is not correct

3900 phones have to be told to upgrade. Can be set in LD 97 - FDL to automatically check and update and can be set based on time, tn or DN

or run manually from LD 32 - FDLF or FDLC.

IP phones will automatically check firmware and upgrade or downgrade when they register

or in ld 32

fdlu 12 0 0 0 (insert your own TN)

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

What is the latest M3900 firmware version available at this time?

 

[hawks]

Not sure but rls 7.5 would have it.
Miller depending on the software you're running you may not want the latest firmware. That could make the phone not function correctly also just like to low of firmware. The best thing to do is load whatever firmware to the phone that your switch is running. Just my 2 cents...

We are on 7.5 and the latest version is 94 - I agree with hawks though so be careful and only get the version compatible with your switch.
