• Upgrades of the SBC Edge (SBC) boot partition are infrequent and end-users should not need to perform this procedure.
  • If you are unsure whether or not your SBC requires a boot code upgrade, see the upgrade notes for your version of the SBC software.

Changing the SBC Boot Image disrupts call services on the SBC, when the restart required to make the upgrade effective is performed, and should only be completed during a scheduled service outage.

To upgrade the Boot Image:

  1. In the WebUI, click the Settings tab.

  2. In the left navigation pane, go to System > Software Management > Boot Partition.

    Important Note:

    Remember that you are upgrading the Boot partition and not the Application partition.

ASM Behavior on Sonus SBC 1000/2000 Reboot Operation

Depending on your SBC Edge (SBC) model, users with a built-in Working with the ASM and SBA may be impacted by this operation:

  • Sonus SBC 2000
    • If the ASM is running, rebooting the SBC will cause the ASM to also reboot.
    • If the ASM is shut down, rebooting the SBC will not restart the ASM.
    • To bring the ASM back into operation, you must physically power off and power back on the SBC.
  • Sonus SBC 1000 --- rebooting the SBC will not have an effect on the ASM.
