Chapter 3 Deploying and Updating Cisco IP Communicator
Updating the Application
To control how often AutoUpdate goes through this process, you can modify the
Verify Software Versions setting in the Product Specific Configuration panel of
the Phone Configuration page in Cisco CallManager Administration.
This setting can be configured to run AutoUpdate either:
• On Upgrade—AutoUpdate verifies existing software components only when
the configuration file lists a new software version (default setting)
• At Startup—AutoUpdate verifies existing software components each time
Cisco IP Communicator is started, whether or not the software version in the
configuration file has changed.
If this option is set to On Upgrade (the default), Cisco IP Communicator will
launch quickly but will not be able to automatically heal itself if any of its files
are deleted or modified by the user. If this option is set to At Startup,
Cisco IP Communicator will launch more slowly, but will detect and repair most
such modifications or corruption.

Specifying a Default Software Load for All Cisco IP Communicator Devices
You can apply a default load to all Cisco IP Communicator devices by specifying
a software load in the Device Defaults Configuration page of Cisco CallManager
Administration. This occurs automatically if you use the phone load package to
put software files on the TFTP server. Therefore, if you want to specify a different
load other than the one that the phone load package specified to serve as the
default for all devices, you must enter this software load manually in the Device
Defaults Configuration page in Cisco CallManager Administration.
Note Cisco CallManager Administration refers to components of the
Cisco IP Communicator application that can be updated as “firmware” instead of
“software,” and uses the descriptor “phone load” instead of “software load.”
