Installation requirements

Before you install the firmware release, you must ensure that your Cisco Unified Communications Manager is running the latest device package. After you install a device package on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers in the cluster, you need to reboot all the servers.

By default, your phones are set up for the English (United States) locale. To use the 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 Phones.

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

Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone audio 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.

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

When the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Transfer On-Hook Enabled field is enabled, users might report a problem with direct call transfer in SIP phones. If the user transfers the call and immediately goes on hook before they hear the ring signal, the call may drop instead of being transferred.

The user needs to hear the ring signal so that they can be sure that the call is being routed.
