# LOAD

## Qualifiers:

<unit/module>

LOAD <CABINET>

LOAD <CABINET> <SHELF>

LOAD <CABINET> <SHELF> <SLOT>

LOAD ALL <CABINET> <SHELF> <SLOT>

LOAD ALL <CABINET> <SHELF> <SLOT> <CIRCUIT>

LOAD ALL <CABINET> <SHELF> <SLOT> <CIRCUIT> <HYBRID>

LOAD FIRMWARE <IPDEVICEID1> TO <IPDEVICEID2>

LOAD IPDEVICE <IPDEVICEID1> TO <IPDEVICEID2>

LOAD IPDEVICE <SET>

NOTES

- When issuing this command to upgrade firmware on IP sets, all users, including Hot Desk users, will be logged out when the set reboots.

- The Load command uses TFTP connections to transfer software to IP devices. Because MiVoice Business supports a maximum of 300 TFTP connections at any one time, you must issue the command multiple times to load software to a large number of IP devices. For example to load software to 500 IP devices, you must issue the command twice:

LOAD IPDEVICE 1 TO 300
LOAD IPDEVICE 301 TO 500

- If you enter the "Load" or "Load 1" command, the system reboots.

- After you issue either of the following Load commands, it is recommended that you reset the system:

LOAD CONTROLLER or
LOAD 1 3 32

- The AX controller only supports the "Load" command, without any qualifiers. You cannot use the Load command for the line cards in an AX controller.

## Purpose:

Loads software into device/unit processors.

## Details:

The <unit/module> qualifier loads software into the unit number selected (ASU or controller).

The LOAD FIRMWARE command sends 53xx and 69xx IP Phones away to upgrade their firmware. Use it when the system is configured in the Controller Registry form to prevent the devices from upgrading and to allow them to register despite having old firmware. Phones can be sent away one by one by entering its device ID or in blocks by entering a range of IDs. The IDs come from Multiline IP Sets form.

The LOAD IPDEVICE command resets IP phones causing them to reload firmware from the TFTP server specified in DHCP Options or via static configuration. Phones can be reset individually or in blocks by entering the device ID or range of IDs. The IDs come from Multiline IP Sets form.

NOTE: For DHCP programming, see Programming the DHCP server.

The Controller qualifier loads software into the Digital Line Cards.

NOTE: Does not affect the DS1 Formatter, CEPT Formatter, Universal T1/E1, and PRI T1/E1 cards.
