Upgrade Information
Upgrade to CTPOS 7.3R1 as follows:
- If you are upgrading to CTPOS Release 7.3R1 from software releases 4.x, 5.x, 6.0x or 6.1x, you use upgrade kits to upgrade your CTP device to CTPOS Release 7.3.x
- If you are upgrading to CTPOS Release 7.3R1 from software releases 7.2.x, 7.1.x, 7.0x, 6.2Rx, 6.3Rx, 6.4Rx, 6.5Rx, or 6.6Rx, you can use software files for the upgrade.
Upgrading from CTPOS Release 4.x, 5.x, 6.0x or 6.1x to CTPOS Release 7.3R1 with an Upgrade Kit
Because of the new features and hardware supported in CTPOS Release 7.3R1, a direct code upgrade from earlier versions of CTPOS by using an upgrade archive is not supported. CTPOS Release 5.x and earlier require an upgrade kit. You must perform the upgrade to CTPOS Release 7.x by using an upgrade kit. There are two upgrade kits, the use of which depends on whether you are using a PP310 or PP332 processor in your CTP2000 Series device.
If the CompactFlash card contains CTPOS 6.1R7 or earlier and you want to upgrade directly to CTPOS Release 7.3R1, you need to burn the CompactFlash card with the CTPOS Release 7.3R1.
Upgrading from CTPOS Release 6.2x or Later to CTPOS Release 7.3R1
To upgrade from CTPOS Release 6.2x or later, use the following files:
- CTPOS Upgrade Archive File:
acorn_429_7.3R1_160826.tgz - Flash Archive:
flash_7.3R1.img—Required only when you are creating a new flash card. - CTP Complete Package File:
ctp_complete_7.3R1_160826.tgz—Required only when you use CTPView. - Migration Flash Archive File:
acorn_xxx_7.3R1_160826_migration_flash.tgz—Required only when you create a migration flash card. - CTP2000 BIOS Archive File:
acorn_429_110915_bios_V221.tgz—Required only during migration. This file is not required for the CTPOS upgrade. - Voice Card Archive File:
acorn_429_111021_em9c_fxo61_fxs50_voice.tgz - NTP:
acorn_429_ntp4.2.8p8_160811.tgz - FPGA Archive File:
acorn_429_160822_fpga_150_s29_t20_2000_s1d_t2f.tgz - Boot FPGA Archive File:
acorn_xxx_boot_fpga_s25_t1b_130317.tgz—Required only for CTP 150 devices. - CTP2000 Winmon Archive File:
acorn_429_111115_winmon_210.tgz - Dcard Archive File:
acorn_429_111121_dcardpld_t1e1_3_4wto_4.tgz - KIS Archive File:
acorn_xxx_150909_KIS.tgz - Bash Archive File: acorn_429_bash-4.3.30_141212.tgz
- GLIBC Archive File: acorn_429_glibc-2.3.2_150327.tgz
- OpenSSH and OpenSSL Archive File:
acorn_429_openssh_7.1p2_openssl_1.0.2g_160308.tgz - Upgrade Package File:
acorn_429_upgrade_pkg_160308.tgz
 | Note: The version of the Winmon support file (210) is the same as that in the CTPOS Release 6.2R1 Winmon version. However, the date portion of the file name is modified (111115 vs 100331). Only the installation file is modified. There is no change in the Winmon code, hence the change in date and not the version. The voice daughter card support files are also affected by this. Make sure you disable all ports and bundles before starting the upgrade process. |
 | Caution: When you upgrade CTPOS by using the Boot FPGA archive file, you must ensure that there is no power fluctuation or interruption during the upgrade processes. Any fluctuation or interruption of power during the upgrade can make the device unusable and the device will have to be returned to the factory. The CTP device must not be used until the upgrade process is complete. |
Manually Upgrading from CTPOS Release 7.2R1 to 7.3R1
 | Best Practice:
Before you start the upgrade process, you must ensure that only
the required archive files are present in the |
| Note:

When you upgrade the archive in interactive mode, you have to select the following two options after issuing the upgrade command from the CLI:
Do you want to install the newest archive in quick mode (no questions)? y[n]: n
Do you want to install the newest archive interactively (w/ questions)? y[n]: y
