## Create a Software Upgrade File

You need to create a special file to accomplish a successful CPU Software/Firmware upgrade. This file is called a software upgrade file.

To access the dialog, click on the “Software/Firmware Upgrade” menu in the Tools directory tree. Select a system for the software update and click on the Create File button.

### Creating an upgrade file

Before creating the software/firmware upgrade file for a PBX, the following information has to be determined:

- Type of upgrade
- Installed release
- Installed market version
- Installed revision
- New release
- New market version
- New revision

In case of the central software, the BMS determines the delta between the new and the currently installed software version and creates an upgrade file (*.txt). For special cases, e.g. changing of the language version, the tool can also generate an upgrade file, which contains the complete software-version.

In the case of the firmware upgrading, the complete firmware application image will always be generated in an upgrade file.

- Select the type of upgrade:

- SW upgrade based on an other version

- This upgrade is called the Delta Software Upgrade. Choosing this option keeps the transmission time as short as possible. BMS creates a file comprising only the differences between the existing software in the exchange and the new software to which it should be upgraded.
- The central software upgrade version must be based on the language version that is already installed in the system. If you want to change the language, you must upgrade the system with the complete software in the new language.

- SW upgrade based on no other version

- This is a full central software upgrade. A complete new software file with the largest possible file size will be generated.

- Firmware upgrade

- In case of the firmware upgrade only complete new files can be generated. The upgrade (output) file name is related to the product number (RYS) of the peripheral board.

- Select the installed release of the BusinessPhone (10 - 13).
- Select the installed market version.
- Enter the revision number of the installation.
- Select the upgrade’s new release version (10 13).
- Select the market version of the new release.
- Enter the version of the new release.
- Click on the Submit button to create the upgrade file. The file will appear in the Send File dialog.
