Installing

CAUTION: Sets released from the factory after Release 3.2 will have the boot capability built into them. They will not have to follow the above set configuration sequence. However, if in doubt, the above configuration steps should be followed.

Mixed Release 3.1 and 3.2 Network

The 3300 ICP Release 3.2 software will be delivered into existing IP trunking configurations made up of 3300 ICPs running Release 3.1 software. To support the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) in these configurations, all IP sets requiring the CDP protocol will need Release 3.2 set firmware. Every IP telephone must receive the Release 3.2 set firmware during its boot sequence.

All 3300 ICPs in the DHCP domain must have the 128: IP Phone TFTP Server refer to the Release 3.2 set firmware load. The IP Phone TFTP Server is part of the DHCP options form.

There are several methods of configuring the IP Phone TFTP Server:

1.The Release 3.1 IP Phone TFTP Server may reference any Release 3.2 TFTP server.

2.The Release 3.1 IP Phone TFTP Server may reference a centralized TFTP Server that contains the Release 3.2 set firmware load.

3.The Release 3.1 system can have the Release 3.2 set firmware loads manually loaded in the IP Phone TFTP Server directory from a Release 3.2 system.

WARNING: Failure to correctly configure the 128: IP Phone TFTP Server in a mixed Release 3.2 and Release 3.1 network topology may cause the IP sets to become non-functional.
