Phones are *supposed* to report their current load version to CM in an
Alarm message. The alarm message is parsed and load stored in mmf
tables in 6.x and later and visible in RTMT:<br>

Unfortunately all devices are not playing nice. For those that do not
you could use the report to get the IP address of the device and then
query the phone web pages.<br>

get you now. The report is what the configuration should be, i.e. what
the database has. But if the firmware load failed for whatever reason,
then you are right that data wouldn't be accurate.<br>
<br>
Thanks for clearing that up for me. <br>
<br>
Wes had a pretty neat solution for this in the Windows world, where you
would run an "mmfspy" on the subs, get all IP addresses that are
connected and pipe that into wget and parse. You could probably get
away with doing a blanket wget on your voice network and gathering
details from the home page of every phone and getting the actual
firmware in use from there.<br>
<br>
Hope that makes sense and helps.<span><br>

<br>
No that's not really true.<br>
<br>
Phones that are not listed in the report are configured to use the
default <br>
firmware but that doesn't mean that they are using the right firmware. <br>
If you connect a phone with to old firmware it won't be able to upgrade
to <br>
the default firmware but it will still not be seen in the report.<br>
<br>
That is at least how it works in 7.1.5<br>
