Perform this procedure to upgrade the FXS gateway firmware.

Procedure steps

1. Identify the firmware version that is running on the gateway:
   1. In the GUI of the FortiVoice Gateway, go to Dashboard.
   2. In the Status tab, go to the System Information widget and review the Firmware version row.
   3. Take note of the firmware version and build number.
2. Identify the latest software release that is available for the gateway firmware:
   1. Go to the Fortinet Technical Support website.
   2. Log in to your existing account or register for an account.
   3. Under Support, select Downloads > Firmware Download.
   4. In Select Product, select FortiVoice.
   5. In the Release Notes tab, review the FortiVoice 6.0 list to identify the latest firmware version.
   6. Compare the firmware version and build number with the firmware version that is running on the gateway.
   7. If the build number of the firmware version running on the gateway matches the one on the Fortinet Support website, then you do not need to perform an upgrade. You have completed this procedure. Go to one of the following procedures:
      • Adding an FXS gateway (auto-discovered)
      • Adding an FXS gateway (not auto-discovered)
   8. If the build number of the firmware version running on the gateway is an earlier build, then you need to prepare for an upgrade:
      1. Review the FortiVoice Phone System Release Notes. This document includes the most current upgrade information such as supported upgrade paths and may also contain details that were unavailable at the time this procedure was created.
      2. In the Download tab, navigate through the 6.0 directories to locate the firmware image file. The file name format is FVG_GS16-v60-build0xxx-FORTINET.out.
      3. To download the firmware image file to your management computer, go to the end of the row and click HTTPS.
      4. Save the file on your management computer and take note of the location where you save the file.
3. Backup the configuration file:
   1. In the GUI of the FortiVoice Gateway, go to Dashboard.
   2. In the Status tab, go to the System Information widget and the System configuration row.
