[cisco-voip] Device pack installation methodology question

[Brian Meade]

What I do is save the Device Defaults page as HTML then install the device
packs on all nodes.  I then go back to the Device Defaults page and set
everything back to what I saved in the HTML file.  I then do the cluster
reboot.

That keeps any other phone models from upgrading and allows me to get
support for the new device.
