[cisco-voip] term42.default.loads & term62.default.loads

Tue Oct 12 17:17:36 EDT 2010

When I read the factory default action that Ryan sent off, it actually deletes some files I believe and/or re-reads that term42.default.load file.

Yes that is correct, NIB = new in box. 

Oh, Ok, so I NIB phone is NOT sitting at a "factory reset" state? I was under the impression that new phones, in the box, and from the factory, were exactly in the same state as a phone who was "factory reset." 

That's what I get for assuming.

I believe the one step you're missing here is resetting the phone to factory defaults so that it grabs the term42.default.loads file appropriately.

Can I piggyback on this topic? 

So I take a NIB phone, and I plug it in, and it fails to upgrade because my CUCM has phones loads above 8.5(2). Are you saying that if I change out my default.loads files for 8.4(4) ones, I would eliminate the upgrade failure scenario of plugging in a NIB phone (which presumably ships with older than 8.4(4) firmware)? 

So the game plan looks like this: 
phone boots for first time 
dhcp address assigned, and option 150 points to tftp 
phone grabs the default.loads file, and reads which version is should pull down 
I go grab some five guys 
phone grabs firmware and begins to upgrade to 8.4(4) 
phone resets 
phone registers to CUCM, grabbing its XML config, and reads which version is should pull down 
phone grabs firmware and begins to upgrade to 8.5(3) 
phone resets 
phone registers 
I come back and see a registered phone

Ah - cool. Never thought about that application.

That's correct, they will do two upgrades. In some cases this may be desired with the default load being 8.4(4) so that both old and new phones can upgrade easily to later loads given the restrictions for going past 8.5(2).

Thanks Ryan. 

I'm guessing then, if I don't update those files, and perform a factory reset, the phone will first load the previous version, try to register to call manager, see the new firmware information and then upgrade? 

So basically downgrade, then upgrade? 

I'm not saying I want to keep it this way, just trying to understand what will happen. I guess I could actually confirm the results by doing this myself too.

They are used to recover from a factory reset.

ok...when are they used then? if i keep the originals from a previous version, copy over firmware files from a new version and update either the device defaults page or manually configure a phone is that ok?

They are never created, only copied either manually via zip file (windows CCM) or by the load installer.

can anyone shed some light on when i need to overwrite the term42.default.loads & term62.default.loads files when copying over firmware files? 

if i just copy over the firmware files and modify the device defaults on CCM, will it create these two files new?
