Same here.

We have about 500 phones, from both 79x1 and 79x0 series;
I posted the same two questions twice some time ago but never
got an answer: I do reboot phones by power cycling them too,
while I've been able to use blf with sccp images only.

Furthermore, XML Services on 7940/7960 seem to be broken
or at least to behave in different way than the one
described in the sdk documentation.

I needed the reboot feature to implement extension mobility but
I wasn't able to find a clean way. Power cycling is not always
an usable method, as many phones are powered by the AC adaptor.
I think I will able to put my hands on an UCM6.1 box very soon
to try that out and eventually grab the xml profiles.
As soon as I get the info I'll surely post it on this ML and on
voip-info too.

Alberto.
