Allow and Configure Firmware Updates

The firmware updates can be allowed at specified intervals. Updated firmware is sent from a server to
the phone by using a TFTP or HTTP. Security is less of an issue with a firmware upgrade, because
firmware does not contain personal information.
To configure a firmware update:
Click Admin Login > advanced > Voice > Provisioning.
Step 1
Under Firmware Upgrade in the Upgrade Enable field, choose Yes.
Step 2
Enter the parameters defined in the table:

The 3PCC supports single one image upgrade by tftp/http/https.

Step 2 Configure Upgrade Rule on the 'Provisioning' tab in the web page, with the valid URL format:
<schema>:// <server[:port]> /filepath
Note A device (with new base and DCU) may not be downgraded to an earlier firmware release, such as 9.3(3).
For details, refer to the hardware information and the firmware/hardware compatibility information in
the current Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831 for Third-Party Call Control Release Notes.
