I was reading here about the upgrade scenarios http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4967/products_upgrade_guides09186a008022a968.html and I decided that I only want to go to SIP 4.4 . I am going from SCCP 3.2 so the instructions say

Procedure B

1. Copy the desired binary image from Cisco.com to the root directory of the TFTP server.

2. Open the OS79XX.TXT file with a text editor and change the file to include the desired image.

3. Specify the desired image in the protocol configuration files.

4. Reset each phone.

I want to manage the phone locally, so do I just need the OS79XX.TXT and the SIPDefault.cnf file?

Hmjgriffon,

Change file name of P003-08-2-00.bin to P0S3-08-2-00.bin. After this process you need to change bin filename to original value, so it will be P003-08-2-00.bin and OS79XX.TXT need to have value P003-08-2-00.

As stated previously I would recommend that you download and apply 8.8. You will need SIPDefault.cnf, but if you are going to manually configure the phone then SIP.cnf will not be required. The SIPDefault.cnf will need one minor edit with you image name e.g

image_version: P0S3-08-2-00

hth,

Here is my status so far. No matter what I try the phone will either say opening 192.168.0.1 (my laptop) or something like CM defaulting to tftp server. I last thing I tried was P0S3-04-4-00 in my TFTP root directory I had the files

P0S3-04-4-00.bin

OS79XX.TXT

SIPDefault.cnf

inside of OS79XX.TXT I had this:

P0S3-04-4-00

inside of SIPDefault.cnf I have:

#Image Version

image_version:P0S3-04-4-00 ;

#Proxy server address

proxy1_address: 192.168.0.1 ;

#Subdirectory config file location

tftp_cfg_dir: /

does that all look right? Maybe this crappy tftp server program I found isn't working right? I didn't see 8.8 on cisco's website, the only one they had was P0S3-08-2-00, I found a website with P0S3-08-6-00 is that what your talking about? what should I look for on the phone as far as status messages to know if I am doing it right?

Hi,

So you don't see what file the phone is requesting?

Please use tftpd32.exe that has a clear log window. It is free software.

Once you feed the phone with the right files, it will upgrade.

I got tftp32.exe I will try it and let you know what happens.

Paulo - it's not that straight forward. Just do a search on google in order to discover the how many folks go through this headache. You only have to recall how many times we have seen the request on this forum let alone other voip user groups.

To this end I have decided to produce a definitive guide for this forum, providing a verified step-by-step procedure. It just means that I must go through the whole palava once again but document this time around. You will hopefully see something in the next couple of days.

Watch this space...

I would just tell people to only use tftp32 haha it seems to be the only one that works with cisco stuff. So anyways I got the firmware onto my phone and everything, and after much tinkering I got my gizmo SIP account set up on it, I even got some more ring tones set up on it, but there were 2 on the phone that I guess came with the firmware and I don't know how to delete them? I am using 4.4 firmware because I don't want to be locked into cisco signed firmware and not able to load up some 3rd party firmware at some point and I cant find a place in the phone to delete ring tones.

I see a NAT setting in the SIP configuration, does anyone know what situation that is for? When I was setting up my phone I was connecting it straight to my laptop with a network cable and had ICS set up between the internal wireless and ethernet going to the phone, when I went to test it I could call my friend but the call couldn't seem to get back to me, does the phone need port forwarding on my router?

Yes you need to forward udp port 5060 to the phone. A cisco router would not need that because of "intelligent nat".

Thanks for the nice rating and good luck!
