[cisco-voip] Uploading Phone Firmware for 8.5

[Nate VanMaren]

You have 3 choices, and it really depends on who will be doing the fixing of the phones.


1.       Install the COP file so the default loads file points to 8.5.2s, then change the default load back to current.  Then the technician can do a factory reset on the phone and it will two step the code automatically.

2.       Do a BAT file to change the firmware on the specific phones to 8.5.2S, reset the phones, once they start getting code you can clear that field out and the phone will continue to get code.  You'd still install the 8.5.2 cop file and change back the default.

3.       If you have a small number of phones total, you can just downgrade the whole system to 8.5.2 and then push it back to the new version.  (I had to come up with a 3rd option because I said there were three at the top of the email

I have a shiny new 8.5.1 deployment.  However we just found some older phones in the warehouse that still have firmware 8.1.1 or something like that on them.

I'll have to upload a bridge firmware for the phones, (We used SCCP45.8-5-2S before we upgraded)

Should I download the COP file, and install it, and then change all my default loads back?

Should I download the Zip file, and just upload the SCCP45.8-5-2S.loads and *.sbn files?

Mike
