Over the last couple of weeks I have seen a thread about remotely rebooting SIP phones from Asterisk. Is there something inherent in Asterisk that *requires* that SIP phones to be rebooted in a particular scenario, or is it just so that phones can pickup new firmware and/or configuration from their boot server? TIA.
We have to reboot our phones sometimes when we do something server side, mainly because the cisco firmware doesn't seem to handle everything very well. Usually it's just to pull new configs though, as we test more features and roll them out.

Also, the old grandstreams would lose their registrations periodically. I have not played with a grandtream in quite a while so I would assume they fixed this in firmware but that was another reason for regular reboots.> -----Original Message----- > From: Aaron Daniel [mailto:amdtech@shsu.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 9:57 AM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why remotely reboot SIP phones? > > We have to reboot our phones sometimes when we do something > server side, mainly because the cisco firmware doesn't seem > to handle everything very well.

Polycom phones need a reboot after making configuration changes. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Daniel [mailto:amdtech@shsu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 7:57 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Why remotely reboot SIP phones?

Do you mean changes to the phone's configuration, or changes to Asterisk's configuration? -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Douglas Garstang Sent: 11 January 2006 15:07 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Why remotely reboot SIP phones?
