New and Changed Information
Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware release 8.0(4) supports several releases of Cisco Unified CallManager including the latest releases— 4.2 and 5.0. For a complete list of new and changed phone features introduced in these Cisco Unified CallManager releases, 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.
The topics below contain new and changed information about features that are introduced in Cisco Unified IP Phone firmware release 8.0(4) for SCCP phones, but that are not documented in the latest release of the Cisco Unified IP Phone SCCP Administration Guide or Phone Guide for your phone model.
This section contains these topics:
Hold Reversion Feature
Note
Firmware release 8.0(4) supports the Hold Reversion feature, which limits the amount of time that a call can be put on hold before reverting back to the phone that put the call on hold and alerting the user.
A reverting call can be distinguished from a new incoming call by the ring cadence, among other indicators. Reverting calls ring once, using the ring tone already set for that phone line. (If the line is configured to use another new call indicator, such as a beep, the reverting call will be indicted according to the same setting.) If the reverting call continues to hold, the single ring repeats at intervals, as determined by the Hold Reversion Notification Interval setting (described below).
In addition, reverting calls are indicated by:
•
•
Reverting calls are also indicated by a Hold Reversion icon that displays next to the relevant phone number on the phone screen.
Administration Configuration Tips
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration provides these clusterwide system parameters:
•
•
With Cisco Unified CallManager release 4.2(1) SR1, the phone screen focus is configured to always display a new incoming call, even when a reverting call is present. On the phone, you can view the call focus setting by choosing Settings > Network Configuration> Reverting Focus Priority. In this release, the value is "Lower," indicating that the reverting call focus is a lower priority than the incoming call focus.
User Tips
When you put a call on hold, you have a limited time to resume the call before the Hold Reversion feature reverts the held call back to your phone and alerts you. The time limit is determined by your system administrator.
Your phone alerts you about a reverted held call by producing a single ring (or beep or other indicator, depending on how your phone normally indicates new calls on this line.) Your phone also displays a Hold Reversion icon next to the relevant phone number on the phone screen. If you do not answer the held call, the alerting ring can repeat at intervals determined by your system administrator.
To resume the call, make sure the reverting call is highlighted, then pick up the handset, or press any of the following: the Resume softkey, the speaker button (if unlit), the headset button (if unlit).
To resume the call on a different line, press the appropriate line button. If several reverting calls are holding on that line, your phone resumes the oldest reverting call.
If you use a shared line, Hold Reversion rings only on the phone that put the call on hold, not on the other phones that share the line.
Optimizing SCCP Messages
Firmware 8.0(4) supports improved SCCP messaging to optimize bandwidth for customers who deploy large numbers of phones that share the same line. In SCCP Version 9, SCCP message structures are altered to allow variable length messages instead of a fixed length character-array that consumes bandwidth.
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 P00308000400 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 S00105000200 before you use the phones. You can download the installation program, which is named cmterm-7914-sccp.5-0-2.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 Unified Call Manager 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:

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.
