Once you have updated the inactive partition either by Upgrading the Inactive Partition – SBC Edge or by Uploading Firmware Patches, new software does not take effect until you activate newly updated partition. When you activate the partition, the system must reboot to boot from the desired partition. All configuration is preserved when you activate the partition.

The instructions outlined include rebooting the Sonus SBC Edge/SBC SWe Lite. This will disrupt call services on the Sonus SBC Edge/SBC SWe Lite and should only be completed during a planned service outage.

To set the Active Partition:

  1. In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.

  2. In the left navigation pane, go to System > Software Management > Application Partitions.
