Upgrading Firmware
Phones should be upgraded to the latest firmware before using any administration
features. There are various ways to upgrade your firmware:
All Phones
• Cisco SPA 9000 Voice System Setup Wizard—If you are using the Cisco
SPA 500 Series and Wireless-G IP Phones with a Cisco SPA 9000, you can
use the Cisco SPA 9000 Voice System Setup Wizard to upgrade your
phones. See the
Cisco SPA 9000 Voice System Setup Wizard User Guide .
• Autoprovisioning—A configuration file that includes upgrade information is
downloaded by a user’s phone when it is powered on. See the “Upgrading,
Resyncing, and Rebooting Phones” section on page 137.
Cisco SPA 50XG and WIP310
• Firmware Upgrade Executable File (Cisco SPA 50X or WIP310)—Download
the firmware upgrade utility from the product page on Cisco.com to your

SPA 500 Series and Wireless-G IP Phone.
