The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This document provides the information you need to install and manage the Cisco Unified Communications Manager device packages.
For a listing of recent device packages, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Compatibility Matrix.
To download a recent device package, see the Download Software page on Cisco.com and select your Cisco Unified Communications Manager version.
To determine the version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager software that is running on your server, access Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration and then click .
Cisco Unified Communications Manager device package releases are compatible with Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
 Note |
Review the Show Software page in Cisco Unified OS Administration to determine your installed device package. We recommend that you don't install an older version of the device package. |
Cisco Collaboration Endpoint releases don't always coincide with Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases, so we recommend that you upgrade to the latest firmware.
For the latest compatibility information, see the following:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Compatibility Matrix: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/devpack_comp_mtx.html.

Install a device package to introduce new phone types and upgrade the firmware for multiple phone models.
Apply this device package to all your Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers, beginning with the publisher server and the TFTP server.
To install and upgrade all software, use the Software Upgrades menu options. The system can upload and process only Cisco approved software. You cannot install or use third-party or Windows-based software applications that you used with a previous version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Note |
The device package is necessary to obtain configuration capability for new features and phone models. Otherwise individual device firmware is installed with the individual device load Cisco Options Package file. You can also upload the individual device load files to the TFTP directory. After the new files are present in the TFTP folder, restart the TFTP service from the Cisco Unified Serviceability Web Page. Then go to CCMAdmin >Device >Device Settings >Device Defaults and manually change the name of the load file (for specific devices) to the new load. Click Save. Reset the devices. |
We recommend that you apply a device package during a maintenance window.
You install device packages on the active partition and cannot uninstall them. We recommend that you take a Disaster Recovery System (DRS) backup before you install a device package. For backup procedure, see the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for each version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager at http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-maintenance-guides-list.html.

By default, Cisco IP Phones are set up for the English (United States) locale. To use the Cisco IP Phones in other locales, you must install the locale-specific version of the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer on every Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in the cluster. The Locale Installer installs the latest translated text for the phone user interface and country-specific phone tones on your system so that they are available for the Cisco IP Phones.
To access the Locale Installer required for a release, access https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html?mdfid=286037605&flowid=46245, navigate to your phone model, and select the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer link.
For more information, see the documentation for your particular Cisco Unified Communications Manager release.
Note |
The latest Locale Installer may not be immediately available; continue to check the website for updates. |
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Self Care Portal (Release 10.0 and later) and User Options web pages (Release 9.1 and earlier) provide links to the IP Phone user guides in PDF format. These user guides are stored on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and are up to date when the Cisco Unified Communications Manager release is first made available to customers.
After a Cisco Unified Communications Manager release, subsequent updates to the user guides appear only on the Cisco website. The phone firmware release notes contain the applicable documentation URLs. In the web pages, updated documents display "Updated" beside the document link.
Note |
The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Packages and the Unified Communications Manager Endpoints Locale Installer do not update the English user guides on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. |
You and your users should check the Cisco website for updated user guides and download the PDF files. You can also make the files available to your users on your company website.
 Tip |
You may want to bookmark the web pages for the phone models that are deployed in your company and send these URLs to your users. |
