Revised: September 28, 2009
Use these release notes with a Cisco Unified IP Phone running SCCP or SIP firmware release 8.5(2)SR1.The following table lists the Cisco Unified Communications Manager release and protocol compatibility for the Cisco Unified IP Phones.
Note
SIP firmware release 8.5(2)SR1 is designed and tested to interoperate with Cisco call control, most notably Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 7.1. Although SIP firmware is IETF RFC 3261 compliant, it is not supported by Cisco TAC or Engineering for use with non-Cisco call control systems.

New and Changed Information
This section contains new or changed information for firmware release 8.5(2)SR1.
Disable Enbloc Dialing
By default, Cisco Unified IP Phones running SCCP use "enbloc dialing", which means all digits of a phone number are sent simultaneously by the SCCP protocol. However, enbloc dialing must be disabled if either Forced Authorization Codes (FAC) or Client Matter Codes (CMC) dialing is being used. Otherwise, FAC and CMC dialing will not work properly. Therefore, the new Enbloc Dialing parameter has been added for disabling enbloc dialing (it is enabled by default).
To disable enbloc dialing, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, go to Device > Phone. On the Phone Configuration window, in the "Product Specific Configuration Layout" area, uncheck the Enbloc Dialing box, then click Apply Config, then click Save.
Supported Cisco Unified IP Phones
The following Cisco Unified IP Phones (SCCP only) support the new Cisco Unified Communications Manager parameter called "Enbloc Dialing":

Installing Firmware Release 8.5(2)SR1 for SCCP
This section describes how to install firmware release 8.5(2)SR1 for SCCP, and includes these topics:
•
Firmware Upgrade Issues for SCCP
•
Firmware Installation Procedure for SCCP
Firmware Upgrade Issues for SCCP
Note
For all SCCP firmware upgrades from firmware release versions earlier than 8.3(3) to version 8.5(2)SR1 or greater, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.5(2). Once you have upgraded to version 8.5(2), you can upgrade your IP Phone to version 8.5(2)SR1 or later.
Note
This section applies to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7971G-GE, 7970G, 7961G-GE, 7961G, 7941G-GE, 7941G, 7911G, and 7906G.
The following upgrade issues apply:
•
If you are currently running firmware earlier than 6.0(2) on a Cisco Unified IP Phone and want to upgrade to 8.x(x), you must first install an intervening 7.0(x) load to prevent upgrade failure. Cisco recommends using the most recent 7.0(3) load as the intervening load to avoid lengthy upgrade times.
•
If you are currently running firmware 6.0(2) to 7.0(2) on a Cisco Unified IP Phone and want to upgrade to 8.x(x), you can do so directly. However, expect the upgrade to take twice as long as usual.
•
Device packs are required to enable IP Phones in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. For Cisco Unified CallManager 4.2 and earlier, these device packs are required. For Cisco Unified CallManager 4.3 and Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0 and later, you must run the device pack and reboot the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.
