•Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express

•Installing Firmware Release 9.2(1) SR1 for Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921, 6941, and 6961 (SCCP)

Installation Upgrade Notes

Direct upgrades, using unsigned load files, are supported to firmware releases 8.5, 9.x. You can use the following firmware release file for these direct upgrades. For Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921, 6941, and 6961 (SCCP):

•8.5 - cmterm-69xx-sccp.9-2-1-sr1-uns.cop.sgn

•9.x - cmterm-69xx-sccp.9-2-1-sr1.cop.sgn

---

Note Converting SIP to previous 9.1(1) SCCP does not work due to a known issue CSCtj89983. The workaround is to perform factory reset after upgrade completes.

---

---

Note Converting previous 9.1(1) SCCP to SIP does not support Auto-Registration due to a known issue CSCth26499.

---

---

Note A direct upgrade from firmware release 9.0(x) to 9.2(1) SR1 is supported. After you upgrade from an earlier firmware release to 9.2(1) SR1 and for subsequent firmware releases, you can upgrade or downgrade only to signed firmware releases.

---

Before You Begin

If you are using unsigned load and want to upgrade Cisco Unified Communication Manager to release 8.5 and later then manually install unsigned load to upgrade because phone load upgrade will fail due to signed load in Cisco Unified Communication Manager by default.
