These are notes I’ve compiled after many years of supporting Northern Telecom/Nortel Networks SL1, Meridian 1 and NCS 1000 phone systems. While graphical tools exist, many times it’s easier to connect via serial terminal or a telnet session and use the command line for common tasks.

Performing a manual software upload on M39xx phones
- The normal procedure is: All commands in LD 32!
- To check which version of firmware a single M390x phoneset has: FWVU LL SS CC UU ****M3900 VERSION REPORT**** TERMINAL TYPE = 021 CORE FIRMWARE VERSION = 018 FLASH FIRMWARE VERSION = 032
- To print a summary report of firmware versions currently connected to the switch: FSUM .fsum **M3902 SUMMARY 080 – ON DISK **M3903 SUMMARY 080 – ON DISK **M3904 SUMMARY 083 – ON DISK 083 (083 ) – 000026 SETS FOUND 083 (024 ) – 000004 SETS FOUND 047 (024 ) – 000001 SETS FOUND **M3905 SUMMARY 083 – ON DISK 083 (018 ) – 000055 SETS FOUND 032 (018 ) – 000029 SETS FOUND 024 (018 ) – 000011 SETS FOUND 000 (018 ) – 000001 SETS FOUND 000014 SETS NOT RESPONDING
Important: Before updating a phoneset, make sure that the phoneset is logged out and during the updating procces do not touch or unplug the phoneset ! It could destroy the complete phoneset!
- To initiate conditional download to a M390x phoneset: FDLU LL SS CC UU¸ or FDLF ( not sure ) FDLI = Upload firmware when phone is idle ( takes 20 min )b SDL001 STARTING DNLG LL SS CC UU SDL000 3905(LL SS CC UU ), VERSION 32, MAINT MODE. <— this takes approximately 10 minutes
- During the updating procces (approximately 10 minutes) the phone will show a progress bar on the display. If the download has been aborted by leaving the overlay you have to restart by entering the command FDLF LL SS CC UU
