TIPS Assistance with updating Snom 710s

[MrBostn]

There's a critical update for the Snom 710. I have 65 of them at the office. I'm running PIAF 20650. I am not using Endpoint Manager but I do provision all them with XML files.
I have the following xml files

1. general_custom.xml
2. mac_firmware.xml which looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<firmware-settings>
<firmware perm=""></firmware>
</firmware-settings>

3. dialplan.xml
4.firmware.xml which looks like this but the phones don't seep to see it.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<firmware-settings>
<firmware_status perm="">http://downloads.snom.com/fw/snom710-8.7.5.13-SIP-r.bin</firmware_status>
</phone-settings>
</settings>

Also do I need a mac_firmware for each phone or can I just use the firmware.xml for all phones?

Any guidance is appreciated.
Thank you

Try it in firmware.xml and reboot a phone or two and see if they upgrade. If not, you will probably need create the mac_firmware.xml and put it in there. I have used this method to upgrade Snom phones in the past but I don't remember what I did to make it work.

I would download the firmware file and put it on the Web server on the phone server. That will save a lot of internet traffic on the network.
