Hi,
Did You use this firmware already?
I've just use this and many of my phones (4610, 4625, 4621) don't work propertly.
When I press some type of programmed buttons (directory, auto-call-back) phone is rebooted.
CM is 3.1.2 with latest patch.

Regards
K
 
Yeah, I loaded on some 4610's and now they say 'No Ethernet'. The data switch is under my desk and I can see the port go active when I power cycle the phones, but they go off during the boot process. My 4625 is working just fine. You can watch the phones connect and drop on the switch. BUT, bow that I have the new code on and they won't connect to the network, I have no way to back rev them to 2.8.
 
Wow, whew. Glad I waited - mainly because there are NO release notes attached with the firmware with the changes..
 
I have already installed R2.8.3 on a clients 4621's in London, with no issues at all, running CM 4.0.1 This was over 40 phones

I have also installed this on another client in NYC, with Cm 3.1.4 currently, and still no issues...

I've just made an upgrade to 3.1.4 and I have the same issues.
 
Konri,

In your 46xxsetings.txt file, do you lock the ethernet ports to 100MB/Full? Do you have the ethernet POE switch set to lock the ports at 100MB/Full? We always do both, its just more reliable.

Here is a sample of a 46xxsettings file I use on an S8300C, we use the S8300C for both TFTP and HTTP/HTTPS for both 4600 and 9600 series phones.

your option 242 string on the DHCP server needs to look like this:

Option 242: MCIPADD=192.168.1.245,MCPORT-1719,TLSSERVER=192.168.1.245

The above IP's are an example, you MUST use TLSSERVER NOT HTTPSRVR, in the Option 242 string. You also must have a SET HTTPSRVR 192.168.1.245 [example S8300] in the 46xxsettings.txt file for the S8300 to serve out the HTTP/HTTPS files properly. Just copy your 4600 files and 9600 files to your /tftpboot directory. There are also some .tar.gz files you can install that set up the /tftpboot directory for you, available on the AVAYA website for the 9600 R1.5 and 4600 R1.8.3 firmware, mostly for CM 4.0

Well, I figured out the issue on my end. My test phones are statically addresses. Once I put them back to DHCP and pointed them to another TFTP server with 2.8, they are working again. Had the same issue when I statically addressed a 4621SW. But, my 4625 is still chugging along with a static address. Weird!
 
I'm quite sur that your station language is set to "user defined" - change it to English or unicode ( if unicode file is already on your CM ) and the problem will fade away....
