New and Changed Features

The following sections describe the features that are new or have changed in this release.

Note

Some features may require the installation of a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package. Failure to install the Device Package before the phone firmware upgrade may render the phones unusable.

Features Available with the Firmware Release

The following sections describe the features available with the Firmware Release.

Client Matter Code and Forced Authorization Code

You can configure the conference phone so that users must enter a billing code or authorization code (or both codes) after they dial a phone number. The billing code, called a Client Matter Code, is used for accounting or billing purposes. The authorization code, called a Forced Authorization Code, controls access to certain phone numbers.

When both a billing code and an authorization code are configured, users are first prompted for the authorization code and then the billing code.

You set up the access codes in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For more information, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager documentation.

Features Available with the Latest Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Pack

The following sections describe features in the release which require the new firmware and the latest Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Pack.

For information about the Cisco Unified IP Phones and the required Cisco Unified Communications Manager device packs, see the following URL:

Mobile and Remote Access Through Expressway

You can set up Mobile and Remote Access through Expressway (MRA). MRA provides a way for remote workers to easily and securely connect into the corporate network without using a virtual private network (VPN) client tunnel. The feature uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the network traffic.

You need these to provide MRA to your users:

- Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.5(2) and later

- Cisco Expressway Release 8.7 and later

- Cisco IP Conference Phone 7832 User Guide

Transport Layer Security Enhancements

Administrators now have improved security over phones that act as a HTTPs server. With the parameter Disable TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 for web access, you can apply TLS1.0, TLS1.1, and TLS 1.2 mode, or just TLS 1.2 mode to any phone, or group of phones that function as a HTTPs server.

For other configurations, TLS protocols are configured on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. As of Cisco Unified Communications Manager 12.0, there are also TLS settings that are configured by a CLI command. See Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM & Presence Service, Release 12.0(1) for information about new CLI commands on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Disable TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 for web access is configured from the Product Specific Configuration Layout pane of your Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Install the latest device package for this feature to function.

Disable TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 is supported on Cisco Unified Communications Manager 11.5(1)SU3 and later.

Limitations and Restrictions

Phone Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

- Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan

- Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

Health-Care Environment Use

This product is not a medical device and uses an unlicensed frequency band that is susceptible to interference from other devices or equipment.

Language Limitation

There is no localized Keyboard Alphanumeric Text Entry (KATE) support for the following Asian locales:

- Chinese (China)

- Chinese (Hong Kong)

- Chinese (Taiwan)

- Japanese (Japan)

- Korean (Korea Republic)

The default English (United States) KATE is presented to the user instead.

Cisco Unified Communication Manager Public Keys

To improve software integrity protection, new public keys are used to sign cop files for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.0.1 and later. These cop files have "k3" in their name. To install a k3 cop file on a pre-10.0.1 Cisco Unified Communications Manager, consult the README for the ciscocm.version3-keys.cop.sgn to determine if this additional cop file must first be installed on your specific Cisco Unified Communications Manager version. If these keys are not present and are required, you will see the error "The selected file is not valid" when you try to install the software package.

Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer

By default, Cisco IP Phones are set up for the English (United States) locale. To use the Cisco IP Phones in other locales, you must install the locale-specific version of the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer on every Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in the cluster. The Locale Installer installs the latest translated text for the phone user interface and country-specific phone tones on your system so that they are available for the Cisco IP Phones.

To access the Locale Installer required for a release, access Click Here , navigate to your phone model, and select the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer link.

For more information, see the documentation for your particular Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.

Note

The latest Locale Installer may not be immediately available; continue to check the website for updates.

Cisco IP Phone Documentation Updates on Cisco Unified Communications Manager

The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Self Care Portal (Release 10.0 and later) and User Options web pages (Release 9.1 and earlier) provide links to the IP Phone user guides in PDF format. These user guides are stored on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and are up to date when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager release is first made available to customers.

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.

You and your users should check the Cisco website for updated user guides and download the PDF files. You can also make the files available to your users on your company website.

Tip

You may want to bookmark the web pages for the phone models that are deployed in your company and send these URLs to your users.
