Chapter 3 Managing Cisco SIP IP Phones

Performing an Image Upgrade and Remote Reboot

Performing an Image Upgrade and Remote Reboot

With Version 2.0 of the Cisco SIP IP Phone 7960, you can perform an image upgrade and remote reboot using Notify messages and the synchinfo.xml file.

Note To perform an image grade and remote reboot, a SIP proxy server and a TFTP server must exist in the phone network.

To upgrade the firmware image and perform a remote reboot, complete the following tasks:

1.Using an ASCII editor, open the SIPDefault.cnf file located in the root directory of your TFTP server and change the image_version parameter to the name of the latest image.

2.Using an ASCII editor, open the syncinfo.xml file located in the root directory of your TFTP server and specify values for the image version and sync parameter as follows:

<IMAGE VERSION=”image_version” SYNC=”sync_number”/>

Where:

image_version is the image version of the phone. The asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard character.

sync_number is the synchronization level of the phone. The default sync level for the phone is 1. Valid values is a character-string up to 32 characters.

3.Send a NOTIFY message to the phone. In the Notify message, ensure that the an Event header equal to “check-sync” is included.
