[cisco-voip] Resetting All Phones on a System

Mon Mar 5 15:24:34 EST 2007

Any reason why I shouldn't load the software in advance and do some
testing?  I really don't need any surprises.  It is my understanding
that I need this update for the phones to show the correct date, but I
haven't seen much chatter about the firmware aspect of the DST
situation.  Thanks for your help!

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.
