[Asterisk-Users] UK, Disconnect supervision

[Peter Hoppe]

Jonathan,

many thanks for your reply. The  adapter has firmware version 3.1.3(GWa).

Does that version have problems with diconnect tones? Would you 
recommend I should upgrade? Can you give me some reasons or point me to 
resources (apart from google) where I can research further? What would 
you say are the risks of upgrading?

I am usually a bit anxious about firmware upgrade because I have that 
fixed  idea that   EITHER   the new firmware may break other features 
(like - registration problems with SIP provider, connectivity issues and 
  so on)   OR   there may be some problem during firmware upgrade which 
damages the device in question. For example, for the Grandstream 
Budgetone 100 phone, power outage during firmware upgrade from TFTP will 
damage the device(1). And I can't fix it once it's broken; it's not like 
a computer where I simply reinstall the OS / put in a new component etc. 
Once it's gone, it's gone.
My  fears are probably totally unfounded, but better safe than sorry. So 
I wouldn't upgrade unless there are good reasons to do so (if it ain't 
broke, don't fix it).

But thanks very  much for that hint. I actually have two other adapters, 
and they may be way out of date: 2.0.13(GWg) -  so they may really need 
updating.

Peter
