Update Actions

Update Firmware

You can update firmware per device, or for multiple selected devices. See here

The figure above shows the screen that opens after selecting multiple devices. The screen for a single device is identical but without the option to execute the action in batches.

From the dropdown, select the firmware file, and then click Update; the firmware file is updated. You can simultaneously update the device's configuration file.

If you select multiple devices and then click the Selected Rows Actions link in the title bar to choose 'Update Software' from the drop-down, the screen (as shown in the figure above) will include the option to do the following:

update firmware simultaneously for a batch of devices, each batch containing 5 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 50 | 100 devices
configure a 0 second | 2 second | 5 second  | 10 second | 30 second | 2 minute | 5 minute delay between batches

Note that if the icon is displayed in the 'Firmware' column adjacent to a listed device in the Devices Status page, it indicates that that device's firmware is not the latest firmware available; you can click the icon to upload the device's latest firmware.

Upgrade APK

Microsoft Teams APK (to update the Android Package Kit on Android-based Teams devices - phones as well as Microsoft Teams Rooms). Microsoft Teams APK is supported from version 1.17 and later. See here

Configuration

Generate Configuration

Generates the device's configuration file according to its Service Provider. The user configuration is also generated in case it will be needed. See here.

Update Configuration

Sends a command to the phone to check whether there is a new configuration file to upload and updates the phone after a configurable 'Delay Time' (Default = 2 seconds). See here.

Change Actions

Change Profile

You can change a device's Profile or the Profile of multiple devices. See here.

From the drop-down list, select the profile to change to.

See also here.

Nickname

Allows you to provide a nickname for the enterprise employee to facilitate more effective user and phone management.

Set as VIP

Allows network administrators to configure the phone as a VIP phone; VIP phones feature a different disconnect time interval and support disconnect / unregistered alarms. A phone configured as a VIP phone is typically a Common Area Phone (CAP) located in the lobby of an enterprise, or a conference phone located in an enterprise's meeting rooms. It's important that it be continuously connected hence the different disconnect time interval and the disconnect / unregistered alarms.

Troubleshoot

Screen Capture

The Device Manager enables administrators to capture and download the current state of the Device's Web UI for FAE troubleshooting. The feature enables capturing the device's main screen as well as the device’s Expansion Module (sidecar) in the case of phone models with a sidecar. The captures can be taken from the Device Status page or from the Monitor page and then once uploaded to Device Manager can be downloaded in .jpg format to your PC. The implementation of this AudioCodes Android Device Utility feature removes the need to install unofficial third- party applications on employee PCs, and thereby possibly compromising network security. See Capturing Screens from Device.

Collect Logs

Allows network administrators to retrieve logs without accessing the phone. See Collecting Logs from the Device.
