Installing Required Firmware for the Cisco IP Phone
Before using the Cisco IP Phone 7905G for H.323, you must install the latest firmware image on the phone. You can download this software from this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ip-phone-7905
For additional upgrading instructions, refer to Upgrading Software on the Cisco IP Phone 7905.
The firmware image names are:
CP7905010002H323040927A.sbin
CP7905010002H323040927A.zup
Note A firmware image can contain a signature that allows a phone to verify the authenticity of the image. A firmware image with such a signature has the extension .sbin. A firmware image without such a signature has the extension .zup. For the Cisco IP Phone 7905G, you should obtain both the .sbin version and the latest .zup version of a firmware image. After a phone upgrades to the latest .zup firmware image, it will request .sbin firmware images for future firmware upgrades. If a phone upgrades to the latest .zup firmware image, the phone cannot be upgraded or downgraded to any other .zup firmware image. In addition, a phone cannot be downgraded from a .sbin firmware image to a .zup firmware image.

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
