CTS1300 upgrade

[George Thomas]

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade a CTS1300 from 1.6.4 to 1.9. Is this a stepped upgrade through 1.7.4? Is there a document that outlines an upgrade path? Also, how do I upgrade the phone Midlet along the way?

Thanks in advance!

Hi George,

This guide covers the upgrade procedure: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/cucm_cts/cucm_cts_admin_book/guide/cucm_cts_admin_managefiles.html

The mildets need to be upgraded separately and the guide is here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/cts_admin/1_5/admin/guide/cta_1_5_midlets.html

Wee,

No release key is required to upgrade the CTS units, and the DLUs are the only licensing consideration for the CTS endpoints. You may need a valid support contract to download the firmware from CCO.

It is also worth noting that if you have a CTS-Manager you will need to generate a license starting in version 1.7.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Gentlemen,

Do we need to have a valid service contract in order to upgrade the CTS? I am asking because I don't see the requirement to insert release key unlike Tandberg endpoints.

Do we need a service contract to upgrade CUCM firmware as well?

Thanks

Hi Wee,

I am not Sure about CTS endpoint, but yes definately for CUCM , you need valid service contract..

George,

Make sure you look at the Compatibility Matrix for CTS 1.9

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/cts_admin/1_9/compatibility/cts_compatibility_1_9.html

You may need a CUCM upgrade to support 1.9.

If you are upgrading from a pre CUCM 8.0 release, make sure you understand the upgrade process and the new Security By Default, implemented in CUCM 8
