4.3 Updating and Rebooting

The bootROM, application executable, and configuration files can be updated auto-
matically through the centralized provisioning (boot server) model. There files are
read-only by default.
To automatically update:
1. Back up old application and configuration files. The old configuration can be easily
restored by reverting to the back-up files.
2. Customize new configuration files or apply new or changed parameters to
the old configuration files. Differences between old and new versions of
configuration files are explained in the Release Notes that accompany the
software. Changes to site-wide configuration files such as sip.cfg can be
done manually, but a scripting tool is useful to change per-phone configu-
ration files.
Important
The configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES attribute of the master configuration file must be
updated when the software is updated. Any new configuration files must be added to the
COBFIG_FILES attribute in the appropriate order.
For more information, refer to the "Configuration File Management on SoundPoint
whitepaper at www.polycom.com/support/voip/ .
3. Save the new configuration files and images (such as sip.ld) on the boot
server.
4. Reboot the phones. Refer to Manual Reboot: Menu Option or Key Presses
on page 80.
