What gets installed first..CME or cisco IP phones

[John Cheetley]

Hi Cisco techs,

After all the reading I have done on this topic.

The one issue that isnt conclusive is whether to install CME first on the router or install firmware/software for phones first?

Or doesnt this matter?

You install the call control agent CME/CUCM, configure the phones, and then plug them so they register and download the FW/configuration.

Hi Mr Valencia,

Thanks for your reply.

When I go to install a 70mb CME via tftp32..router displays permission denied. after issuing command..

archive /xtract tftp://ipadress/filename.tar flash:

Logged in using admin level 15 on router

Any ideas please?

[John Cheetley]

Thanks Mr Valencia for that.

One more question if I can please?

When I go to install a 70mb CME via tftp32..router displays permission denied. after issuing command..

archive tar /xtract tftp://ipadress/filename.tar flash:

Logged in using admin level 15 on router

Do you have exposure to the above please?

In fact, phones come with a factory preinstalled firmware. So, as Jaime said, you install/configure CME, plug the phones and they will work.

Later, if you wish, you can install the latest firmware in CME and upgrade the phones.

Hi,

    It looks incorrect login details, try to reset the login details or create a new account  on the tftp and try again.

Thanks

Also. Do access control lists need to be updated/created for this?
