> <br>> Hi,<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I`ve been toying with an Aastra phone (9143i) wondering if it could be a<br>> good alternative to to the more expensive Polycom phones.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> One thing which I can't figure out, although it certainly looks simple, is<br>> to update the firmware though FTP (not TFTP). I have set the ftp<br>> provisioning server in the Aastra phone, and put the firmware file 9143i.st<br>> in the root folder where the login/password pair ends up. Everything is<br>> entered correctly, or so it seems (works fine with my Polycoms).<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> When I reboot the phone from the Web UI, it doesn't seem to take in the new<br>> firmware. But it does seem to download the (empty) aastra.cfg file (proving<br>> that the provisoning server settings are correct).<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> What am I missing?<br>**********************************************<br><br>The phones by default look for a file called firmware.st, make sure you update the file name in the phone config to grab that 9143.st, or rename the file on your ftp server.<br><br>If you are running any modern redhat based linux distro you can also do the following:<br>yum install tftp-server<br>edit /etc/xinet.d/tftp<br>change the enabled=false to true<br><br>/etc/init.d/xinetd restart<br>copy the firmware file to the tftproot directory as defined in the above tftp file, normally /tftpboot and you should be all set.<br><br>Hope that helps.<br><br>Greg<br></body>
