asterisk users - May 2008 - rebooting newer cisco phones

Does anyone have a solution for remotely getting the newer cisco phones
(7941, 7961, 7970, etc ) to reread their configs (or even rebooting).  I am
running SIP firmware connected to asterisk.

Check-sync doesn't seem to work anymore, I can't login to the phones as
root
because I am given a "challenge: <random digits>password:"
prompt.
occasionally I need to make changes to phones at remote locations, only
solution I have now is rebooting the POE switch. Kinda an overkill.

I don't know about the Cisco phones...  I;m using Aastra phones which I can
send a SIP NOTIFY to have them check for updated config... when they detect a
new config they reboot themselves and download the new config.

But your switch might also have an option to disable PoE on a per-port basis...
I know our Dell 3548P's do.
