<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">That
is going to take a long time because of the WAN and some phones may even time
out depending on how long.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">You
may want to upgrade the phones to the 7.X firmware version site-by-site (or even
more granular) before the upgrade while you are still running 4.1. Then you can
have a little more control of when and how many phones are upgrading at once and
the phones won’t ALL upgrade after the switch version.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">We
have seen customers in the past also load up local TFTP servers at each remote
site temporarily just to upgrade the phones. Then point the phones back to the
CUCM TFTP after they are all upgraded. This requires some coordination and in
your case with 40 sites, this is less than desirable. But, something to
consider.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
