Setting up Your System

5.Monitor the boot server event log and the uploaded event log files (if permitted).

Ensure that the configuration process completed correctly. All configuration files used by the boot server are logged.

You can now instruct your users to start making calls.

Upgrading SIP Application

You can upgrade the SIP application that is running on the SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP phones in your organization. The exact steps that you perform are dependent on the version of the SIP application that is currently running on the phones and the version that want to upgrade to.

The bootROM, application executable, and configuration files can be updated automatically through the centralized provisioning model. These files are read-only by default.

Most organization can use the instructions shown in the next section, Supporting SoundPoint IP and SoundStation IP Phones.

However, if your organization has a mixture of SoundPoint IP 300 and/or 500 phones deployed along with other models, you will need to change the phone configuration files to continue to support the SoundPoint IP 300 and IP 500 phones when software releases SIP 2.2.0 or later are deployed. These models were discontinued as of May 2006. In this case , refer to Supporting SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 Phones on page 3-18.

Warning The SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will be supported on the latest maintenance patch release of the SIP 2.1 software stream—currently SIP 2.1.2. Any critical issues that affect SoundPoint IP 300 and 500 phones will be addressed by a maintenance patch on this stream until the End of Life date for these products. Phones should be upgraded to BootROM 4.0.0 for these changes to be effective.
