Upgrading the Software
You upgrade the SIP Phone by downloading the new software from the appropriate TFTP

to your SIP Phone.

current information on TFTP addresses). Press the
key. The software starts
downloading.

may take a minute or two, and is complete when the display shows a time and date on
the top line of the display (default display).
