Other SIP IP PBX Call Control Systems
The Cisco SPA and Wireless-G IP phones are compatible with other IP PBX call
control systems, such as BroadSoft and Asterisk, that use SIP for call processing.
Configuration of those systems is not covered in this document. Additional
resources for configuring the SPA and Wireless-G IP Phones to work with these
systems are available in Appendix C, “Where to Go From Here.”
Prerequisites
This document assumes that you have performed the following prerequisites
before administering your Cisco SPA or Wireless-G IP phone. If you have not
completed these prerequisites, see the documentation in Appendix C, “Where to
Go From Here,” for more information.
1. Set up your IP network.
2. Configure the wireless network (required for SPA525G and WIP310).
3. Install and configure the call control system, such as such as a SPA9000, Cisco
Unified Communications 500 Series for Small Business, or an Internet-based IP
PBX.
4. Update firmware. See Upgrading Firmware, page 20.
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 SPA9000 Voice System Setup Wizard—If you are using the SPA and
Wireless IP phones with a SPA9000,
you can use the Cisco SPA9000 Voice System
Setup Wizard to upgrade your phones.
See the
Cisco SPA9000 Voice System
Setup Wizard User Guide
.
• Autoprovisioning—A configuration file that includes upgrade information is
sent downloaded by a user’s phone when it is powered on. See the
“Upgrading, Resyncing, and Rebooting Phones” section on page 138.
