Upgrading the Cisco SIP IP Phone Firmware

There two methods that you can use to upgrade the firmware on your Cisco SIP IP phones. You can upgrade the firmware on one phone at a time via the phone-specific configuration or you can upgrade the firmware on a system of phones using the default configuration file.

Before You Begin

•To upgrade the firmware on just one phone at a time, you upgrade the image_version in the phone-specific configuration file. To upgrade the firmware on a system of phones, specify the image_version in the default configuration file and do not define the image_version in the phone-specific configuration files.

•Ensure that the latest version of the Cisco SIP IP phone firmware has been copied from CCO to the root directory of your TFTP server.
