[VoiceOps] How to determine Polycom firmware version

[Brandon Buckner]

Do the same command on a sip.ld file. The firmware and bootrom are two different files.

-bash-3.00$ strings 2345-12600-001.sip.ld | head

I also always rename the file to include the version number so they're a bit easier to track, even if in different directories. Such as:

-bash-3.00$ strings sip_316.ld | head

Subject: [VoiceOps] How to determine Polycom firmware version

If I have multiple copies of polycom firmware on a server (in different directories, of course), is there any way to know what version it is? The phones seem to be able to tell by downloading the 4k, but I don't see a firmware version.There appears to be header info in the file but nothing that tells me explicitly that this is, for example, v3.3.1. Even the phone type is cryptic (8388608 = 450?)

#### A BUNCH OF UNREADABLE BINARY STUFF FOLLOWS


Anyone have an easy way to tell the version (without having to boot a phone from it)?

Thanks
