Note 
SIP firmware release 9.0(3) is designed and tested to interoperate with Cisco call control, most notably Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 7.1(5). 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 these topics:
•Assisted Directed Call Park
•Mute Softkey
•Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tone
Assisted Directed Call Park
The Assisted Directed Call Park feature enables users to park a call by pressing only one button using the Direct Park feature. This requires administrators to configure a Busy Lamp Field (BLF) Assisted Directed Call Park button. When users press an idle BLF Assisted Directed Call Park button for an active call, the active call is parked at the Direct Park slot associated with the Assisted Directed Call Park button.
This feature is supported on the following Cisco Unified IP Phones (SIP) for Cisco Unified CM 7.1(5) and later:
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7971G-GE
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G

Mute Softkey
As of the firmware release 9.0(3) and Unified CM 6.1(5) or later, the Mute softkey can be used to mute and unmute active calls in off-hook, ringing, or connected state.
When users select Mute/Unmute, the following occurs:
•They receive an audible alert and a "Microphone Mute On" visual alert.
•When they press the softkey again, the softkey changes to Unmute, they receive an audible alert and a "Microphone Unmute Off" visual alert.
For the Mute softkey to be displayed in the phone:
•Cisco Unified CM 8.0 and later—Check the Enable Mute Feature check box in the Phone Configuration menu or Common Phone Profile Configuration window or Enterprise Phone Configuration menu in Cisco Unified CM Administration.
•Earlier versions of Cisco Unified CM—Check the Enable Mute Feature check box in the Phone Configuration menu in Cisco Unified CM Administration.
This feature is supported on the following IP phones running the SCCP and SIP protocol:
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7906G

Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tone
With firmware release 9.0(3), the secure indication tone functionality was updated, and the nonsecure indication tone was added to the Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tone feature for the Cisco Unified IP Phones. The 8.0(3) release of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) is a requirement for these changes to function.
If phone is configured as secure (encrypted and trusted) in Unified CM, it can be given a "protected" status (which is separate from the status a call). After that if desired, the protected phone can be configured to play an indication tone at the beginning of a call:
•Protected Device—To change the status of a secure phone to protected, check the "Protected Device" check box in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > Device > Phone > Phone Configuration.
•Play Secure Indication Tone—To enable the protected phone to play a secure or nonsecure indication tone, set the "Play Secure Indication Tone" to True. (The default is False.) You set this option in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration > System > Service Parameters. Select the server and then the Unified CM service. In the Service Parameter Configuration window, select the option in the Feature - Secure Tone area. (The default is False.)
Only protected phones hear secure or nonsecure indication tones. (Nonprotected phones never hear tones.) Because the condition for playing the secure indication tone is now based on the overall secure status of the call end to end and not the protected status of the phone, users hear a tone between a protected phone and a nonprotected phone if the Secure Real-Time Transfer Protocol (SRTP) or Real-Time Protocol (RTP) is established.
If the overall call status changes during the call, the indication tone changes accordingly. At that time, the protected phone plays the appropriate tone.
A protected phone plays a tone or not under these circumstances:
•When the option to play a tone, "Play Secure Indication Tone," is enabled (True):
–When end-to-end secure media is established through the Secure Real-Time Transfer Protocol (SRTP) and the call status is secure, the phone plays the secure indication tone (three long beeps with brief pauses).
–When end-to-end nonsecure media is established through the Real-Time Protocol (RTP) and the call status is nonsecure, the phone plays the nonsecure indication tone (six short beeps with brief pauses). (This capability is a change with this release.)
•When the Play Secure Indication Tone option is disabled (False), no tone is played.
These changes were also made with this release:
–Users can invoke supplementary services, such as Transfer or Conference, from protected phones without a software limitation.
–In the past if calls were transferred from a protected phone to another protected phone with RTP established, the call would be dropped. Now users hear a secure or nonsecure indication tone instead of the call being dropped.
The Secure and Nonsecure Indication Tone feature is supported on these IP phones running the SCCP and SIP protocol:
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7971G-GE
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G

Installing Firmware Release 9.0(3) for SCCP
This section describes how to install firmware release 9.0(3) 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 9.0(3) or greater, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.3(3). Once you have upgraded to version 8.3(3), you can upgrade your IP Phone to version 9.0(3) or later.
Note This section applies to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G, 7971G-GE, 7970G, 7965G, 7962G, 7961G-GE, 7961G, 7945G, 7942G, 7941G-GE, 7941G, 7931G, 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.
To access the device packs, follow these steps:

Mute and Unmute Softkey Displays Different Locale
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911G and 7906G use a softkey for the Mute and Unmute feature. If the phone is configured with firmware release 9.0(3) and a non-English locale is configured, the Mute and Unmute softkey will display in the English locale. For more information, see CSCtc61523 using the Software Bug Toolkit.
Maximum File Size for Downloads to the Cisco Unified IP Phone
In firmware release 9.0(3), the maximum file size is 6MB for downloading files to the Cisco Unified IP Phone. Downloading files larger than 6 MB will result in a reset of the phone. For more information, refer to CSCtc09700 using the Bug Toolkit.

Documentation Updates
This section describes recent documentation changes that were made available after the last Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide was released.
Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide
This section provides information about changes to the Cisco Unified IP Phone Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0 (SCCP and SIP).
Saving Credentials When Using VPN Client
When using VPN Client, credentials are saved under some circumstances. The Release 8.0 user guides stated that credentials were not saved when the phone was reset or when it experienced a power loss, as follows:
Note If power is lost or the phone is reset, all stored credentials are removed.
However, the following is the corrected information:
Note When the power is lost and in some scenarios when the phone is reset, all stored credentials are removed.
This change applies to the Cisco Unified IP Phones that support VPN Client:
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7975G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7965G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7945G
•Cisco Unified IP Phone 7942G
