[cisco-voip] Resetting All Phones on a System

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

Be prepared for TFTP timeouts. Try to reset them a few at a time, via devicepools perhaps. You run the risk of some phones getting their upgrades and others not. Now, we have over 7000 phones, so that could have had something to do with it, but even at 1200, I'm sure the TFTP server will be taxed a bit.

We ended up reseting all the phones a few times to try and force them to upgrade. We ended up with a few phones upgraded but without ring tones and others that did not upgrade at all.

  Is there any down side to simultaneously resetting every phone on the
  system?  We have approximately 1200 phones in our little cluster - 800
  in our main location, 200 in our other one and then about 30 phones at
  an SRST site.  We are going to be upgrading the firmware and I'm trying
  to anticipate any problems that might occur.  Thank you!

  The version 2.0 VT advantage cameras (or perhaps the 2.0 of VTA
  software?) did make a change and allow the camera to be seen by other
  products.  The previous ones were locked down to only the VTA app, I can
  say from experience.

  I think it depends on the drivers your app uses and whether they support
  the camera or not.  While it may be Logitech hardware the Logitech
  drivers won't recognize the VTA camera as such.

  I think its visa versa.  You can't use any other camera with the VT
  Advantage software.  The camera is just a logic Tec camera with
  something extra to make it work with VTA.

  I have been told by many people and everything I have read has seemingly
  confirmed that the Cisco VT Advantage cameras can't be used by any
  software other then the Cisco software.

  It just so happens that for the first time I had my camera plugged in
  and launched skype, skype saw the camera and used it.  I was able to
  make skype voice / video calls with the Cisco VT camera.

  This may be old news for some, but it was an interesting discovery
  personally since for a couple of years now I have been told something on
  the cameras (firmware possibly) prevented them from being used by
  anything else.
