New and Changed Information
Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware release 8.0(1) supports the latest releases of Cisco Unified CallManager software—release 4.2 and release 5.0. For a list of new and changed phone features introduced in these Cisco Unified CallManager versions, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco Unified CallManager 4.2 and the Release Notes for Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0. See "Related Documentation" section for help locating these documents.
DTMF Transport
Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware release 8.0(1) supports DTMF Transport. DTMF Transport transmits RTP packets in band for each a digit pressed during a call, according to RFC2833. This allows an SCCP endpoint to interwork with a SIP endpoint or gateway.
Installation Notes
Before using the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G with Cisco Unified CallManager release 3.3 or later, you must install the latest firmware on all Cisco Unified CallManager servers in the cluster. The firmware image name is P00308000100 for these releases of Cisco Unified CallManager:
•
•
If you are using the Cisco Unified IP Phone Expansion Module 7914, you must upgrade the expansion module to firmware release S00105000100 before you use the phones. You can download the installation program, which is named cmterm-7914-sccp.5-0-1.exe, and the readme file from Cisco.com at this location:

Important Notes
This section includes information about using Cisco Unified IP Phones with Cisco Unified CallManager and includes these topics:
•

Configurable SRST Router Fallback Waiting Period
When a Cisco Unified IP Phone loses its connection to the Cisco CallManager server, the connection fails over to an SRST router. After a failover to an SRST router, the phone will monitor the links to the Cisco Unified CallManager servers that the phone can register to. When a server has been available for two minutes, by default, the phone will fall back from the router to that server.
You can change this default time by specifying another value for the station connection monitor duration parameter in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration. For more information, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
Using Barge on an Encrypted Call
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G users cannot barge into an encrypted call if the phone that is used to barge is not configured for encryption. When barge fails in this case, a fast busy tone plays on the phone where the user initiated the barge. No error message displays on the initiator phone to indicate that barge failed because the call is encrypted.
If the initiator phone is configured for encryption, the barge initiator can barge into an authenticated or nonsecure call from the encrypted phone. After the barge occurs, Cisco Unified CallManager classifies the call as nonsecure.
If the initiator phone is configured for encryption, the barge initiator can barge into an encrypted call, and the phone indicates that the call is encrypted.
A user can barge into an authenticated call, even if the phone that is used to barge is nonsecure. The authentication icon continues to display on the authenticated devices in the call, even if the initiator phone does not support security.
Secure PC Log Off in an 802.1X Network
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7960G and 7940G can monitor IEEE 802.1X messages between an authenticating switch and a connected PC (supplicant). When a PC is disconnected from the Cisco Unified IP Phone, the phone issues an EAPOL-Logoff message on behalf of the PC to the authenticating switch. The proxy EAPOL-Logoff message causes the authenticating switch to set the port to an unauthenticated state.
If you have an 802.1X network and upgrade to Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware release 7.2(2) or greater, be aware that you must re-authenticate a PC that is connected to a Cisco Unified IP Phone after the upgrade.
For more information about 802.1X re-authentication, refer to the Cisco Catalyst switch configuration guides at:

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products
Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:
•
An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.
•
In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

Note
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 provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco 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 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)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts
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)—An existing 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 operations 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 the network is impaired, while 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.
