Adding phone firmware to UC540

[graeme]

Hi,

We are looking to upgrade our SPA508G firmware in the lab from 7.5.2b  to the latest 7.5.4

I know you are supposed to be able to drag and drop the bin file to the UC in topology view in CCA, but that only works in Window s XP.

We dont have an XP systems around, and I would like to know if there is a way of doing it without having to get and XP machine or install XP Mode.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

Graeme

You can always do it manually --

1. Upload phone firmware image to proper folder in flash. (Can be done via tftp/ftp or using the file manager in CCA)

2. Add appropriate "tftp-server" lines in config so the file can be found on the tftp server.

3. Update the "load 508G X" line in telephony-service.

4. Restart phones.

Hi Daniel,

I have tried that and it doesnt work.

the phones are still loading the .2b firware.

1. In `sh run`, is the "load" statement in telephony service correct?

2. Have you done "no cre cnf" and "cre cnf" under telephony-service?

3. Have you tried "debug tftp events" while a phone is booting to see what files it is looking for?

Hi Dan,

the TFTP Line is

tftp-server flash:/phones/50x-30x/spa50x-30x-7-5-4.bin alias spa50x-30x-7-5-4

and the load is

load 501G spa50x-30x-7-5-4

load 502G spa50x-30x-7-5-4

load 504G spa50x-30x-7-5-4

load 508G spa50x-30x-7-5-4

load 509G spa50x-30x-7-5-4

Which is how the origianl load was and TFTP was written.

TFTP debug is showing

000528: Apr 15 14:23:23.745: TFTP: Looking for spa50x-30x-7-5-4.BIN

and in the flash

flash:/phones/50x-30x/spa50x-30x-7-5-4.bin

tftp-server flash:/phones/50x-30x/spa50x-30x-7-5-4.bin alias spa50x-30x-7-5-4

Should be

tftp-server flash:/phones/50x-30x/spa50x-30x-7-5-4.bin alias spa50x-30x-7-5-4.bin

Hi Daniel,

that appears to be it.

funny the original line had no .bin on the end, which is the one I changed

and when I tried to pu .bin on the end it wouldnt accept it, now it is..

ah Well

thanks
