How to Upgrade Your Cisco SIP IP Phone Firmware Image and
Reboot Remotely
If you have a SIP proxy server and a TFTP server in your phone network, you can upgrade your system
firmware image and reboot remotely using NOTIFY messages and the syncinfo.xml file. You can also
push the dialplan.xml file down to the phones using a NOTIFY message with a check-sync Event header.
Procedure
Step 1
Edit the default configuration file as follows:
a.
Using an ASCII text editor such as vi, open the SIPDefault.cnf file located in the root directory of
your TFTP server.
b.
Change the image_version parameter to the desired release (for example, P0S3-07-4-00).
c.
Save and close the file.
