Replacing a Codec—Part Number CTS-CODEC-PRI-G2R= or CTS-CODEC-PRI-RCH= (PRC)
If you install the new codec as the primary codec, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified
CM) automatically upgrades the software to release 1.9.0. Release 1.9.0 must already be installed on the
Unified CM for the automatic upgrade to occur.
If you install the new codec as a secondary codec, you must upgrade the software manually. When you
boot up the new codec, note the following on the first-time setup screen:
•
CTS software release number
•
MAC address of the codec
If the release is pre-1.9.0, follow this procedure:
Step 1
Ensure that release 1.9.0 or later is installed on your Unified CM:
a.
Log in to the
Cisco Unified OS Administration
interface of the Cisco Unified CM.
b.
From the
Software Upgrades
drop-down menu, choose
TFTP File Management
.
c.
In the
Find TFTP Files
field, enter “1-9-0” to search for 1.9.0 releases. An appropriate file for the
new codec must end in “.P2.SPA” (for example, “CTS.1-9-0-46R-K9.P2.SPA”).
Note
If you need to install release 1.9.0 on the Unified CM, see steps 1 through 15 in the “Upgrading
from Cisco TelePresence Software Release 1.7.4 and Above” section in this guide:
