I cam across an issue where a customer needed to update a bunch of snom 300 phones to the latest OCS firmware but couldn’t use DHCP to dish out the firmware (which is a much easier option).
After playing around with the manual update process with the WebUI I thought I could probably send HTTP strings to the phone to get it to do the same thing.
Enter a PowerShell Script that sends HTTP POST strings to do the update. There are still a few buttons to click on the phone so it’s not completely automated, but it does most of the heavy lifting.
I was doing a simple find and replace on the phone IP address, but this could really be a variable.
I wonder if something like this could be used to change the Registrar field on mass if required.
Note: Some lines below may appear ‘wrapped’ on your screen, please copy and paste into your code editor/Notepad to see the lines as they should be. Thanks.
