FortiVoice Enterprise Upgrade to 6x

Disclaimer: This is a new release and may contain bugs.  I do NOT recommend upgrading to it in a full production environment.  With that said, here we go.

This is the 5x version of the GUI.  It looks a little dated for those that are running FAC, FML, FSA and FortiGate since they all have the new updated GUI.  It is still extremely versatile and powerful.

Answer Yes if you want to proceed.

After a reboot, you will be redirected to the new GUI.  One of my favorite improvements is the System Resources which no longer require FLASH ….. I hate Flash.

Happy dialing.
