Note
Daylight Savings Time Calculation Algorithm
Firmware release 8.1(4a) introduces the Daylight Savings Time (DST) Calculation Algorithm to provide a mechanism to handle time zone updates on the Unified CM server without requiring an update for the phone firmware.
When countries change or shift their time zone for DST, it requires additional resources to track and resolve these changes. Defects are opened to track and resolve each DST change; the total number of outstanding defects can increase significantly during certain times of the year when the time zone changes occur very close together.
This feature allows the IP Phone firmware update for each DST change to be completed using a cop file. This cop file contains the required updates for the Unified CM without requiring an a new load for the IP Phone or the Unified CM server.
Maximum Length of Authentication Name
The length of the SIP digest authentication name has been increased to 128 characters for the Cisco Unified SIP Phone 3951 and 3911.
The authentication name is only used if the Enable Digest Authentication checkbox is checked in the Phone Security Profile Configuration window. The authentication name is derived from the User ID of the end user assigned to the phone.

DTMF Support on Cisco Unified SIP Phone 3951 and 3911
In order to support dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF), Cisco Unified SIP Phone 3951 and 3911 require the use of gateways with media termination point (MTP) transcoders that support RFC 2833, such as the Cisco 3825 Router. You can configure the system to support DTMF by either configuring the MTP on a transcoding device that supports RFC 2833 or by checking the Require DTMF Reception check box for each registered Cisco Unified SIP Phone 3951 and 3911 in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, Phone Configuration window.
