5610 - CM to IPO

[cmnstr]

I have a customer who is switching from CM with 5610 telephones to IP Office. If I remove the CM and install the IPO on the same subnet with the same IP address will these phones work without a firmware change or do these phones need to be flashed to work with IPO?

First of all, the 5610 does not work on the CM
I think you mean the 4610
The phones can work on the ipo but need a firmware upgrade
There is a little change they do not need that firmware but i would not try it

You are correct, they are 4610 phones. I am working on a different issue with 5610's. So, basically all I would need to do is point the phone to the IPO and the FileServer, set up the IP addresses in Manager and open it to act as the TFTP server and allow it to flash the phone just as I would any other, correct?

That's it, I've done it a few times, it takes about 4-5 mins per handset for the firmware flash, then it's just logging them in

I did run into a job one time that had very old 4610's and wer had to change the mode on them. i think it was something like mute/hold then 755 # or something. that was the only way to get the older phones to upgrade and log in to the IPO.
