Phone Firmware Releases on Cisco Unified Communication Manager
Each Cisco Unified Communications Manager release contains a version of the phone firmware. But, this version may not be the latest version of the phone firmware.
The latest version of the phone firmware is available on the Software Download site.
Phone Documents in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Self Care Portal
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Self Care Portal provide links to the IP Phone user guides in PDF format. These user guides are stored in the portal and match the phone firmware version that comes with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.
After a Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, subsequent updates to the user guides appear only on the Cisco website. The phone firmware release notes contain the applicable documentation URLs. In the web pages, updated documents display "Updated" beside the document link.
Note |
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Packages and the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer do not update the English user guides on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. |
Administrators and users should check the Cisco website for updated user guides and download the PDF files. Administrators can also make the files available to the users on their company website.
Tip |
Administrators may want to bookmark the web pages for the phone models that are deployed in their company and send these URLs to their users. |

IPv6-Only Impact on Cisco IP Phones with SCCP Firmware
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 12.0, you can use IPv6 to communicate with the phones that run Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) firmware.
Some of the Cisco IP Phones can run with Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) firmware. The SCCP firmware does not support IPv6. The following desk phones can run with either SIP or SCCP firmware:
-
Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901, 6911, 6921, 6941, 6945, and 6961
-
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G, 7911G, 7931G, 7941G, 7941G-GE, 7942G, 7945G, 7961G, 7961G-GE, 7965G, 7962G, 7970G, 7971G-GE, and 7975G
-
Cisco Unified IP Phone 8941 and 8945
If you set up your Cisco Unified Communications Manager to communicate in IPv6 only, any of above phones that have SCCP firmware installed must be upgraded to SIP firmware. The SCCP firmware cannot communicate with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager with IPv6.
The Cisco Wireless IP Phones 7925G, 7925G-EX, and 7926G are also SCCP phones. They do not have SIP firmware and only support IPv4.
For details on how to configure IPv6 in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see the "Configure IPv6" chapter of the System Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
