Hi, I`ve been toying with an Aastra phone (9143i) wondering if it could be a good alternative to to the more expensive Polycom phones. One thing which I can't figure out, although it certainly looks simple, is to update the firmware though FTP (not TFTP). I have set the ftp provisioning server in the Aastra phone, and put the firmware file 9143i.st in the root folder where the login/password pair ends up. Everything is entered correctly, or so it seems (works fine with my Polycoms). When I reboot the phone from the Web UI, it doesn't seem to take in the new firmware. But it does seem to download the (empty) aastra.cfg file (proving that the provisoning server settings are correct). What am I missing? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20090224/d8f9819a/attachment.htm

I am not sure what rev level this changed at though. JohnM
On my other Aastra phone there is a config in the phone menu to specify the name of the firmware file under Advanced Settings / Firmware Update. If you have access to that you might see what name it's looking for. I suppose you would be able to set this name in the config files also but I don't know the setting.

I've no clue to tell you what that might be, but I'd guess if you figure it out, all will start working as expected. Ira

If you are running any modern redhat based linux distro you can also do the following: yum install tftp-server edit /etc/xinet.d/tftp change the enabled=false to true /etc/init.d/xinetd restart copy the firmware file to the tftproot directory as defined in the above tftp file, normally /tftpboot and you should be all set. Hope that helps. Greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20090224/0a2690c7/attachment.htm

I also store the config files on the server as well, much easier to make changes to all the phones or do upgrades, I just update the firmware and then blast out a sip notify out to the phones in wanna upgrade. Its a little more labor intensive on setup, but once done, it rocks. I do the same for my polycoms. I have a mix of both, across 12 sites, and i remotely update them all all the time. Its just a pain to setup one time, then its cake!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
