Strata CTX Software Update Procedures
This bulletin supersedes any previous versions of this bulletin.
Strata CTX operating system software can be updated on-site (local) or remotely. Remote Updates require
CTX WinAdmin, while Local Updates are accomplished using a programming telephone to run
Program 911.
Prerequisites to Local and Remote Update
The following are the prerequisites to Remote and Local Update:
·
The SmartMedia card must be installed in the system with a Backup of the current database
(default.dat) file.
·
Activation of the new software requires a Clear-reboot operation that will drop all existing calls and
will take the system out of service from 10 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the system size.
·
Requires a different system software Update file (provided on the Toshiba FYI site), depending on the
type of CTX system and the type of Update that will be performed.
CTX Software Update Files
Each Strata CTX system type has two Software Update files: one for CTX WinAdmin Remote Update and
another file for Local Update (to use with the Programming Telephone procedure).
CAUTION! Using the wrong file in either case will cause the Update to fail.
CTX Software Identification
Refer to the table below to identify CTX software release and builds in software file names or when
verifying CTX software versions. For example, if the software ID is MA228, this means MA2 is equal to
CTX Release 1.02 and nn is the software build 28.

WinAdmin Remote Program Update
This program enables you to send the new CTX system software to the CTX processor standby memory
(CTX670) or SmartMedia card (CTX100) while the system is in use without interrupting service. After the
new software is loaded into memory it can be activated at any time.
CAUTION! Activation of the new software requires a Clear-reboot operation that will drop all
existing calls and take the system out of service from 10 minutes to an hour or more.
WinAdmin will automatically go back to the login screen. After Clear-reboot, you
must wait until the system initializes the new software and reloads the database.
After the CTX database is reloaded, you must reconnect WinAdmin to CTX and
verify that the new software is loaded.
To Get Started
1. At the CTX site, install a SmartMedia card in the CTX670 or CTX100 processor. All existing files on
this SmartMedia card should be saved on a PC just in case they are needed later.
Notes
A SmartMedia card volume label is not necessary for CTX670 or CTX100 remote update. If you
use a volume label, it cannot be PRGUPDATE or PRGRESCUE0, PRGRESCUE01, etc.
The SmartMedia card is used to back up the customer's latest system data (default.dat) which will
automatically reload after the software update process is complete (see Step 7 on page 4).
For CTX100 systems only, WinAdmin loads the Program Update files onto the SmartMedia card
before making the Update software active on the ACTU processor.
For CTX670, WinAdmin loads the Program Update files onto the Standby Flash memory of the
BECU/BBCU processor before making the update software active.
2. Make sure the Remote Update folder containing the Update files (xx.nhs) is placed properly in
WinAdmin Upload folder, for example
C:\Ctx\WinAdmin\Ctmc\Ctmc_local\Upload\CTX100_R_MXnnn, then you may proceed with the
Remote Update procedure.

Note
After clicking Clear-reboot WinAdmin disconnects from the CTX. Wait 15 minutes to an hour or
more before re-connecting WinAdmin to the CTX. The CTX must first initialize the new software
and reload the customer database.
CAUTION! The Clear-reboot process drops all calls and takes the Strata CTX out of service
from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the Backup data file.
After Clear-reboot is complete, the Strata CTX runs on the new software version
(this is now the active side of flash memory). The Backup data has been restored
from the SmartMedia card to the Strata CTX processor memory. On the CTX670
only, the original software version is on the standby side of flash memory.
Do not turn CTX670 power off/on at this time. You must first switch the Active
software from "Trial" to "Normal".
If the system power is turned off/on while the Active side of flash memory is in the
Trial mode, the original software will switch back to Active and the new software
will switch back to Standby. This is to provide an automatic method of switching
back to the original software version if the new version is causing problems.
12. After the CTX restarts and is functioning, re-established communication between WinAdmin and the
CTX. Then go to Operation > System Setup and check that the new software is loaded on the Active
