How to Update your Tenor AS, AF, AX, BX, DX, DXi, or Call Relay 60

Print Version (156 KB PDF)

This procedure applies to updating any Tenor AF, AS, AX, BX, DX, DXi, or Call Relay 60 to a new firmware version. This procedure does NOT apply to the Tenor CMS, Call Relay SP, or the ApplicationServer platforms. The AF, AS, AX, and BX use the same ZIP file; the Tenor DX, DXi, and Call Relay 60 use their own product-specific ZIP files.

Download New Firmware to your PC

To download Quintum’s latest firmware versions, please visit the Quintum Support web page and select the appropriate product.

Download the zipped firmware file from the Quintum website, using a program such as WinZip. Extract the files to a new, empty directory on your hard drive.

There are two ways to load the new firmware onto the Tenor: using ftp through Microsoft Internet Explorer, or using DOS-based ftp. Both procedures are detailed below.

Load New Firmware on the Tenor using Microsoft Internet Explorer

Note

Firefox users cannot FTP to the Tenor without an appropriate plugin that allows FTP.

  1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer on your PC. In the address bar, type ftp://(IP address of your Tenor), for example, ftp://192.168.2.120. The Login As box is displayed.
  2. Enter your user name and password. The default user name and password for a Quintum Tenor is admin. Click Login.
  3. Perform a backup of your current configuration in case of unexpected complications during or after the upgrade. Through FTP, retrieve the entire contents of the /cfg/db directory and store them in a safe place.
  4. Return to the root directory of the Tenor. You may now upload all of your unzipped firmware files to the Tenor.
  5. After the file transfer is complete, restart the unit. Push the Reset button (depending on the unit, you will find the Reset button either on the front or rear of the unit.) If you are in a remote location, you can also telnet to the unit and use the command debug reboot. The Tenor will boot to the login prompt.
  6. To confirm the upgrade, initiate a telnet session with your unit and type the command show -v. The system software should reflect the upgraded firmware version.
