Snom M300/M700 DECT Automatic Firmware Upgrade via Provisioning

[seb]

We have provisioned several M300 and M700 across different sites. I've lost track of which device was running on which firmware. So I was wondering, why 3cx is updating the firmware of D7** automatically, but not the one of our DECT devices.

I've found, that the provisioning template for M300 and M700 found in /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Http/Templates/fxs contains the following:

<!--########################################################-->
<!--###           Firmware Update                        ###-->
<!--########################################################-->

    <firmware-settings>
        <firmware>http://dect.snom.com/</firmware>
        <fp_fwu_sw_version>400</fp_fwu_sw_version>
        <fp_fwu_branch_version>2</fp_fwu_branch_version>
        <pp_fwu_sw_version type=M65>400</pp_fwu_sw_version>
        <pp_fwu_branch_version type=M65>2</pp_fwu_branch_version>
        <pp_fwu_sw_version type=M85>400</pp_fwu_sw_version>
        <pp_fwu_branch_version type=M85>2</pp_fwu_branch_version>
        <pp_fwu_sw_version type=M25>400</pp_fwu_sw_version>
        <pp_fwu_branch_version type=M25>2</pp_fwu_branch_version>
    </firmware-settings>

According to Snom, this however is placed in the wrong location.

Do NOT specify neither bootloader (FW < Version 5)] nor firmware inside setting files:
In order to perform automated firmware updates specify a firmware setting file URL inside firmware status which points to the firmware setting file containing the firmware image URL.

So I replaced it with what we know from D7**

<firmware_status perm="">https://3cx.**.**/provisioning/*****/firmware/snom/snomM300.xml</firmware_status>

... and created the following file https://3cx.**.**/provisioning/*****/firmware/snom/snomM300.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<firmware-settings>
 <firmware>http://dect.snom.com/</firmware>
        <fp_fwu_sw_version>410</fp_fwu_sw_version>
        <fp_fwu_branch_version>14</fp_fwu_branch_version>
        <pp_fwu_sw_version type=M65>410</pp_fwu_sw_version>
        <pp_fwu_branch_version type=M65>11</pp_fwu_branch_version>
        <pp_fwu_sw_version type=M85>410</pp_fwu_sw_version>
        <pp_fwu_branch_version type=M85>11</pp_fwu_branch_version>
        <pp_fwu_sw_version type=M25>410</pp_fwu_sw_version>
        <pp_fwu_branch_version type=M25>11</pp_fwu_branch_version>
</firmware-settings>

Rebooting the base will then reload the configuration and upgrade both, the base and headsets' firmware. So far, we don't have any issues with this. However, I guess the template file might be replaced by a 3cx upgrade. That's why I hope 3cx is considering updating the template.

Hi @seb

That's a really great job, as a Snom user I'll try it asap !
