Schedule Automatic Firmware Upgrade

This topic describes how to schedule automatic firmware detection and upgrade.

Restrictions

  • This feature is available only when the number of PBX extensions is less than 1000.
  • Only supports to automatically upgrade GA (General Availability) firmware that is validated for production use.
    Note: If a non-GA firmware or a GA firmware with critical feature updates is detected, the system will send an event notification, prompting you to complete a backup task and then perform the upgrade manually.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure Yeastar P-Series Software Edition can access the Internet.
  • We recommend that you create a backup file for PBX configurations.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Maintenance > Upgrade.
  2. In the Automatic Upgrade section, complete the following settings.

    1. Select Check for updates and automatically install.
    2. In the Automatically check for updates at drop-down lists, specify when the system checks for firmware updates.
      Note: We recommend that you set a time that is beyond your office hours.
    3. In the Version Types to Send Event Notifications drop-down list, select the desired firmware type.

      When a new firmware version of the selected type is detected, the New System Firmware Detected event will be triggered.

  3. Click Save.

Result

The system periodically checks for new firmware and automatically upgrades when a new version is available.
