Overview of a 7.0 to 7.1 Upgrade 169
The VCX v7.1 upgrade procedure creates one or more phone profiles
based on data configured for phones in the VCX v7.0 system, and assigns
each phone to the appropriate phone profile. However, the VCX
administrator should be aware of upgrade implications on the following
phone configuration settings:
■Registration Interval — This setting specifies how often a registration
message is sent to the VCX server to see if it is active and to check for
updates to the phone configuration. The VCX v7.1 upgrade procedure
resets this parameter to the default value, 3600 seconds (one hour).
■Date Time Display Format, Local Time Zone, various Ring Tones, Call
Fallback — The values for these settings are retained for individual
phones. However, these same settings are also configured in the
phone profile to which a phone is assigned. If the phone profile is
modified and reapplied, the profile values will override the phone
settings.
Refer to the VCX Administration Guide for more information on phone
profiles and configuration options.
