Release Notes for Cisco DX Series Firmware Release 10.2(5)

First Published: December 09, 2015

Release Notes for Cisco DX Series Firmware Release 10.2(5)

New and Changed Features

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 Firmware Release

Access to Call Statistics

There is now a shortcut to call statistics on screen during a call.

CA Trust List Update

For a DX Series device to authenticate an Expressway certificate and establish a TLS session, the Expressway certificate must be signed by a public Certificate Authority that is trusted by the DX Series firmware. It is not possible to install or trust other CA certificates on DX Series devices for authenticating an Expressway certificate. See Click Here for the current list of supported CA certificates.

Contacts Search

Users can now search for and call contacts from the corporate directory from the Calls tab.

Default Wallpaper (DX650 Only)

The default wallpaper folder has changed for DX650, to Desktops/1569x600x24/. Wallpapers that were pushed to the device before this release still displays on the device, unless it is factory reset. A DX650 with the 10.2(5) load that is registered to CUCM receives the wallpaper from CUCM only if the wallpaper is in the Desktops/1569x600x24/ folder (and the Background Image field is set properly in CUCM).

HDMI Audio

Audio from a PC that is connected to the HDMI port of a DX device will play through the DX device's speakers. During a call, the audio from the PC will be mixed with the audio received from the call. During a call with a presentation, audio from the PC will be shared on the call.

Password Protection for Settings

Administrators can restrict access to the Settings application by setting a password in the Local Phone Unlock Password field on the Common Phone Profile window.

After the Common Phone Profile is applied to a device, users are prompted to enter a password when they open the Settings application. There is a link to file a problem with the Problem Report Tool on the sign-in screen. All Settings shortcuts are removed from the desktop. The Settings shortcut is removed from the system tray, however users are still able to access call statistics during a call. Users are not able to change the desktop wallpaper.

SIP URI

Users can now tap a SIP URI to start a call, from applications such as Meetings or Email.

Stay in PC Mode

While a user is working in PC Mode, they receive calls in a Picture-in-Picture (PiP) window. If they use Jabber desk phone control mode, they can also make calls from the Jabber application on their PC and have it appear in a PiP window. The PiP works for both audio and video calls, includes a keypad, and can be expanded to full screen.

USB Redirect (Marketing Beta)

Note

The marketing beta release of USB Redirect is made available to allow customers to test and evaluate the feature, but is NOT recommended for production use. There is no official Cisco TAC support for this feature.

When a user has a PC connected to their DX device in PC Mode, they can use a USB keyboard and mouse to control the PC.

Use the System While an Outgoing Call is Ringing

Users can now use other applications while they have an outgoing call ringing out in the Call application.

User Interface Changes for No Radio Hardware

Elements of the user interface which don't apply to No Radio versions of the DX70 and DX80, such as the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings menus, are now hidden.

Features Available with Latest Device Packs

It is required that the latest device packs be installed before configuring your Cisco DX Series devices.

For information about Cisco DX Series devices and the required Cisco Unified Communications Manager device packs, see the following URL:

Alternate Phone Book Server

You can set an alternate phone book server in the Product Specific Configuration Layout portion of the Device Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Only UDS and the HTTPS protocol are supported for alternate phone book servers.

If you are using Mobile and Remote Access through Expressway, add the alternate phone book server to the Expressway server's HTTP Allow List, and import the UDS server's CA certificate into the Expressway server's trust list. The alternate phone book support through Expressway limits requests to 256 characters. This includes the alternate phone book server host name, API strings and a search query name entered by the user.

Automatic Problem Report Upload

You can enable automatic uploads for the Problem Report Tool in the Product Specific Configuration Layout portion of the Device Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

FIPS Mode

You can enable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode for a device in the in the Product Specific Configuration Layout portion of the Device Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Installation Notes

System Requirements

Cisco DX Series devices are supported by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.5(1), 8.6(1), 8.6(2), 9.1(2), 10.5(1) and later.

The initial release of Cisco DX Series devices requires the latest device pack installed on each Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.

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.

Important Note

Cisco Virtual Office Setup

In a Cisco Virtual Office setup, Cisco recommends the use of a Cisco 881 Integrated Services Router instead of the Cisco 871 router.

Limitations and Restrictions

- When a user is sharing their computer desktop in a Cisco DX70 or a Cisco DX80 presentation call, any audio from the desktop is not shared.

- Users should only pair their mobile phone with one Cisco DX Series device at a time.

- The only supported external cameras for Cisco DX650 are the Logitech C920-C Webcam and Logitech C930e.

- Cisco DX Series devices do not support Android apps that require portrait mode, GPS, or Accelerometer. However, apps that support both portrait and landscape are supported in landscape mode.

- Use the Google Play Store to find and add applications to your devices. Depending on your security settings, the Google Play Store may not be available. Cisco does not guarantee that an application that you download from a third-party site works.

- For Cisco DX70, the HDMI Out port only supports mirror mode.

For Cisco DX80, the HDMI Out port is disabled.

Cisco DX650 and Cisco DX70 support HDCP through the HDMI Out port in mirror mode. An HDMI monitor (or any HDMI sink device) that is connected to a Cisco DX650 or a Cisco DX70 must be HDCP-compliant. Cisco DX Series devices do not support HDCP on the HDMI in port.

- Cisco DX650 devices labeled with TAN 68-5217-xx can't be downgraded below version 10.2(2).

- Cisco DX70 and Cisco DX80 No Radio (NR) hardware models can't be downgraded below version 10.2(4.99).

- Cisco DX70 devices labeled with TAN 68-5387-06 can't be downgraded below version 10.2(5).

- Cisco DX80 devices labeled with TAN 68-5673-01 can't be downgraded below version 10.2(5).

- If you are deploying Cisco DX Series devices for secure calls with IPv6 and an earlier Cisco Unified Communications Manager version than Release 11, go to the CUCM Service Parameters page, select Advanced Options, and set SIP Max Incoming Message Size to the maximum setting (20000).

- There is a known issue when using a Jabra 450 handset, with audio occasionally coming out of the DX device speaker instead of the handset. the workaround is to unplug the USB cable from the handset base, then plug it back in.

- Due to a known issue (CSCux21956), users that are creating a new contact with a Japanese language name should only leave a single space between last and first names. If more than one space is included between the names, that contact will not show up in search results when the user searches by first name.

- After a firmware upgrade, a device that was previously deployed with a static IP address may default back to DHCP.

Device Redistribution

When an administrator redistributes a device (that is, gives the device to a different user), the administrator should execute a factory reset of the device to remove any user data that was previously stored on the device.

If an administrator changes the user ID of a device from user A to user B, none of the data that is associated with user A will be available to user B. The new user must download apps and other data. This scenario may apply to a single user that changes from an old user ID to a new user ID.

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect 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

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
