Before upgrading the POTSBOX firmware
it's necessary to verify and upgrade the POTSHUB firmware. Use the following command
debug res:ctisys cmd:l1pX lsn:13 (where in place of
X
you have to write the value of a CTIP belonging to
the POTSBOX) to check the current version of firmware.

The updating steps:
Go to http://support.abilis.net/ and download the latest firmware.
Upload the POTSHUB.BIN
into the CPX working
directory without changing the file name. The upload can be done using
the file put command (with
ZMODEM: file put z potshub.bin) or the FTP resource.
Issue the command debug res:ctisys cmd:l1pX
lsn:999, where in place of X
you have to
write the value of a CTIP belonging to the POTSBOX that you want to
update and wait until the firmware upload ends. Example:

...
In the presence of additional POTSHUB should be performed once for each POTSHUB present (e.g. debug res:ctisys cmd:l1p229 lsn:999, etc.).
Reboot the Abilis (i.e. With warm start command).
After reboot, check the new current version of firmware with command
debug res:ctisys cmd:l1p101 lsn:13 (where in place of
X
you have to write the value of a CTIP belonging to
the POTSBOX).
