How to upgrade the CTS500 firmware from 1.7.4 to 1.8

[Arbenjamin]

Dear all,

Our current CUCM sw version is 8.6.2, and we would like to upgrade our CTS endpoint from 1.7.4 to 1.8.

We have uploaded the cmterm-CTS.1-8-1-34R-K9.P1.cop to the CUCM(please refer to attached picture), and we are configure "cmterm-CTS.1-8-1-34R-K9.P1" in the

Device Defaults Configuration of CUCM.

Can anyone provide any suggestion or detail procedure for us?

Best Regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,

In the Load Information field, enter the name of the COP file, removing the cmterm- in front of the file name.

On the following link you have the entire upgrade process very well explained:

Dear Antigles,

Thank you for link !

It is very helpful for us, and we have upgraded the CTS-500 to software version 1.8, however, the IP phone is not working after upgrade.

Is it a normal practice?

Many thanks,

Best Regards,

Ben

Hi Lai,

The mildets interface on the phone must be upgraded separately. The jar/jad files can be downloaded from cco and the config guide is here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/cts_admin/1_5/admin/guide/cta_1_5_midlets.html

Hi all,

I have upload the 1.8.1 Midlet to the CUCM, and subscribed the service as attached picture.

However, the IP phone shows the software mismatch, and its firmware is previous version.

Anyone has such experience before?

many Thanks.

Hi Ben,

Can you post the output of the "show version" command on the codec? and also these two lines taken from the "show hardware all" on your codec too?

Phone midlet status                : active
Phone midlet version               : TSPM-1.8.1-P1-1S

Thanks.

Dear antigles,

Thank for your information.

In the "show hardareall",

Phone midlet status                 : mismatch

Phone midlet version               : TSPM-1.7.4-P1-1S

Please let us know how to fix the software mismatch between CTS and IP Phone.

Best regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,

As you can see on your output, your phone is still running the old MIDlets.

I guess there are many possible reasons for it to happen, but I would say a frequent one is that people update the existing service instead of creating a new one in CUCM. That is doable but tricky.

I would recommend to create a new service from scratch for 1.8 Midlets, following the instructions on the link provided by Paul above.

I have also observed sometimes better and more consistent results by following this order:

1. Create new MIDlets service
   
2. Unsubscribe phone from old service
   
3. Reboot phone
   
4. Subscribe to the new service
   
5. Reboot phone.
   

Best regards.

Hi Ben,

try to this command :

utils service restart Calling_Services

Sometimes calling service needs to trigger.

Be sure that :

Device > Device Settings > Device default >

Cisco TelePresence 500-37 = CTS.1-8-1-34R-K9.P1.sbn

Also be sure tspm middlett and Phone Service configuration.

Regards,

Baris.

Hi antigles,

Thank you for suggestion, we agreed the IP Phone can't get the 1.8.1 Midlet.

We have tired to delete the old Midlet service and create a new service, however, the problem still exist.

In the CTS endpoint, we found that

Will it be the problem of the call manager?    

Best Regards,

Hi Lai,

Your CTS logs indicate that you are conifiguring TSPM-1.8.1-P1-1S as the load name for your codec. This is not correct, (you should leave CTS.1-8-1-34R-K9.P1 in there). This is also suggesting that you might be not following exactly the procedure to subscribe the phone to the midlets service.

Please revisit the procedure and find the point where you decided to configure TSPM-1.8.1-P1-1S as the load name for the codec. Error might be around there.

Being that said, phone logs can provide further details on what the problem might be, whereas codec has noth much to say about midlets.

Following link is specific to midlet configuration and troubleshooting tips.http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/telepresence/cucm_cts/cucm_cts_admin_book/guide/cucm_cts_admin_midlets.html#wp1052908
