Changes in Firmware Version 1.3.5(XU) from 1.3.2(XU)
Hardware and Firmware Compatibility Matrix
Note 1: Firmware Downgrade Limitation
Behavior During Times of Network Congestion
Firmware Released: September 2014
Document Revised: July 15, 2015
These Release Notes provide information about Cisco SPA232D Multi-Line DECT ATA and Cisco SPA302D Multi-Line DECT Handset firmware version 1.3.5(XU).
As with any firmware release, read these release notes before upgrading the firmware. Cisco also recommends backing up the configuration before any firmware upgrade.
Note 1.3.2p is identical to 1.3.2 and additionally supports 128MB flash and new SLIC.
1.3.5p is based on 1.3.5; both have the same feature set, except that 1.3.5p supports new SLIC while 1.3.5 does not.
1.3.5p(XU), 1.3.5(XU), 1.3.2(XU): SRTP functionality has been removed, and it cannot be configured or provisioned in firmware versions that are designated with XU in the filename.
Note Do not upgrade any device to an unsupported firmware version as detailed in the Hardware and Firmware Compatibility Matrix table.
Note New devices have a label that reads S/W: Must use 1.3.5(004p) or later.
The devices with the following PID and TAN (or later TAN number) cannot be downgraded to a version older than 1.3.3.
If the device is upgraded to 1.3.3 or later (no hardware related), the server could request a server certification signed by the “Cisco 2k Small Business CA” or keep using certificate signed by 1k CA. Be careful, it is optional because the new signed 2k server certificate is not compatible with old firmware (before 1.3.3). Server certificates signed by 1k CA are working for all firmware, before and after 1.3.3.
SPA112&122&232D with SN CCQ18230001 and after have a built-in 2k Client Certificate. Then server must update the new Combined CA if the client certification is required. The new Combined CA is compatible with the old 1k & 2k certificate, that means it works for all the devices.
Step 1 Download the latest firmware by using the Firmware link on this web page: www.cisco.com/go/smallbizvoicegateways
Step 2 Launch a web browser, and enter the LAN IP addresses of the ATA.
Step 3 Log in to the Configuration Utility. (On first use, enter admin as the username and the password. After logging in, you should configure a unique password that is hard to guess.)
Step 4 Click Administration in the menu bar, and then click Firmware Upgrade in the navigation tree.
Step 5 Click Browse and select the location of the upgrade file that you downloaded.
Step 6 Click the Upgrade button to upgrade the firmware.
Upgrading the firmware may take several minutes. Until the process is complete, DO NOT turn off the power, press the hardware reset button, or click the Back button in your current browser.
Perform this procedure after upgrading the Cisco SPA232D and waiting for the ATA to reboot.
Note To verify the upgrade, go to the Administration > Firmware Upgrade page, and confirm that the firmware version number is correct.
Step 1 On the handset, press the center Select button, scroll to Settings, and press the Select button again.
Step 2 In the settings menu, choose Update Software, and then press the Select button.
Step 3 At the Check for software update prompt, press Confirm.
Step 4 Within a moment, the handset displays the current version of software on the handset and the latest software version available from the Cisco SPA232D. Press the Select softkey.
Step 5 Place the handset in the charging cradle.
The handset erases the flash memory, downloads the new software, and verifies the upgrade data. After the upgrade, a message appears indicating the status of the upgrade (for example, if the upgrade succeeded).
Step 6 After the success message appears, press Reset to reboot the handset.
If the upgrade fails, press Reset to reboot the handset. Check the status lights on the Cisco SPA232D to make sure that it is powered on and functioning. Then repeat the upgrade steps.
Note 1.3.5(XU) supports DECT Handset(SPA302D) software auto-upgrade by default. If SPA232D is upgraded from 1.3.5(XU) to newer firmware, the Handset will do software auto-upgrade.
Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:
To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
