[cisco-voip] Uploading Phone Firmware for 8.5

[Wes Sisk]

The ability to exchange information with the installer package (pass in AND get out) is high on our wishlist.  Echoing this to your Cisco account team is always helpful.

Regards,
Wes

I just bit the bullet and did the .cop file, and then changed the default firmware file back.  Figured it was the supported, least likely to get me in trouble way to go.

I'm not sure what my hangup on installing the .cop file was.  I think I just didn't want to "downgrade" a "fresh" install.

Not that this is the appropriate way to submit feature requests, but how about this:

Make a check box (or something) that says not to make the .cop file the system default when you install it (Default action would be for it to be checked, so that it mirrors current behavior)

depending on the status of the phones you may *need* to install the .cop file to get the .defaults file that comes with that load. there are situations where that is the only file the phones will parse. to that end installing the .cop file is the only way to get (or updated) that file.

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?
