Installing Firmware Release 3.0(2)

This section describes how to install firmware release 3.0(2).

Firmware Installation Procedure

Before using the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 with Cisco Unified CallManager, you must install the latest firmware on all Cisco Unified CallManager servers in the cluster.

Before You Begin

To make the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 available in the Cisco Unified CallManager system, you might need to upgrade your system with the latest DevPack patch for your release of Cisco Unified CallManager. You can download the latest DevPack patch with the new CSV and XML schema at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=278875240&i=rp

To download and install the firmware, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 To access the firmware files, go to this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240

Step 2 On that website, click one of these hyperlinks, and follow the prompts to download the firmware:

•For Cisco Unified CallManager release 4.3 and earlier:
cmterm-7920-sccp.3-0-2.exe

•For Cisco Unified CallManager release 5.0:
cmterm-7920-sccp.3-0-2.cop

•For Cisco Unified CallManager release 5.0(4) and later:
cmterm-7920-sccp.3-0-2.cop.sgn

Step 3 Go back to the URL shown in Step 1, click the following hyperlink and follow the prompts to download the Readme file, which contains installation instructions for the corresponding firmware:

cmterm-7920-sccp.3-0-2.Readme.htm—Readme file for Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920—Firmware Version 3.0(2)

Step 4 Follow the instructions in the Readme file to install the firmware.

Note•To downgrade firmware to version 1.09 or earlier, you must use the Cisco 7920 Configuration Utility.

•If the phone firmware is earlier than version 1.03 or the phone is configured in Cisco Unified CallManager as an IP Phone 7960 (releases prior to 3.3(3)SR1), you also need the os7920.txt file which is installed with the firmware.

Using the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 with Cisco Unified CallManager Express

If you are using the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 with Cisco Unified CallManager Express 3.1 or later, you can download the version 3.0(2) firmware image file cmterm_7920.4.0-03-02.bin from the software download center at the following URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240

Note•Cisco CME versions 3.1 and later support the Cisco 7920 phone type and do not require the phone load image helper file.

•If the phone firmware is earlier than version 1.03 or the phone is configured in Cisco Unified CallManager Express as an IP Phone 7960 (releases prior to 3.1) you also need the os7920.txt file. You can create this file by using a text editor such as Notepad. Create a new file with the name, os7920.txt and enter the firmware image name: cmterm_7920.4.0-03-02.

To install the version 3.0(2) firmware with Cisco Unified CallManager Express, you must manually copy the firmware image file cmterm_7920_4.0-03-02.bin to the Cisco Unified CallManager Express TFTP server (router flash) and enable it for TFTP. Update the 7920 load name to cmterm_7920.4.0-03-02.

For information about this procedure, refer to the "Setting Up Phones" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express Administration Guide for your version of Cisco CME at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps4625/tsd_products_support_series_home.html

Important Notes

This section provides general information about using and supporting the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 in your system.

•EAP-FAST Security Feature

•Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 Localization

•Reducing the Holdoff Time for TKIP Countermeasure Mode

•Regulatory Domains for Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920

•Cisco Unified CallManager Unit License

•Supported Access Points

EAP-FAST Security Feature

To provide more secure authentication in the wireless network, the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 now supports Extensible Authentication Protocol-Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling (EAP-FAST). You can use either WEP or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption when using EAP-FAST.

A client server security architecture, EAP-FAST encrypts EAP transactions within a Transport Level Security (TLS) tunnel. The tunnel is based on Protected Access Credentials (PAC) for more secure authentication between the client and the RADIUS server.

Note•The default expiration for a PAC is one week in the Cisco Access Control Server (ACS). If the phone has an expired PAC, it will take approximately 20 seconds longer to authenticate with the RADIUS server while the phone gets a new PAC.

•If you were using LEAP prior to upgrading to firmware release 3.01, be aware that EAP mode may change to EAP-FAST after upgrading the firmware when EAP-FAST is enabled on the RADIUS server. With firmware release 3.01, the default setting for EAP mode is Auto. When using the Auto setting for EAP mode, EAP-FAST has precedence over LEAP.

•The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 supports only automatic PAC provisioning.

If using EAP-FAST with Cisco Airespace technology, you must increased the EAP session 802.1x timeout to at least 20 seconds to insure that the phone gets the PAC credentials successfully.

To change the session timeout on the Cisco Airespace AP, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 SSH or Telnet to Airespace controller(s.)

Step 2 Type config advanced eap request-timeout 20.

Step 3 Type save config.

Step 4 Type y to confirm.

If the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 firmware is downgraded to 2.0 or earlier and you are using EAP-FAST for authentication, the phone will not be able to authenticate. Firmware Release 2.0 does not support EAP-FAST, so you must use LEAP as your authentication method with earlier releases and enable it on the Cisco ACS.

For more information about configuring and using the EAP-FAST feature, refer to "Overview of the Wireless Network" chapter in the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 Administration Guide.

Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 Localization

These translated and localized versions of the phone are available with firmware release 3.0:

•Danish

•Dutch

•English

•Finnish

•French

•German

•Italian

•Japanese

•Norwegian

•Portuguese

•Russian

•Spanish

•Swedish

Prior to upgrading the firmware release, install the locale-specific version of the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer. You can find locale-specific versions of the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/telephony/callmgr/locale-installer.shtml.

You must install the locale-specific version of the Cisco Unified CallManager Locale Installer on every Cisco Unified CallManager server in the cluster. Installing the locale installer ensures that you have the latest translated text, user and network locales, and country-specific phone tones available for the Cisco Unified IP Phones.

When running Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.1 and later, refer to Using the Cisco Unified IP Telephony Locale Installer for Cisco Unified CallManager for your Cisco Unified CallManager release.

When running Cisco Unified CallManager Releases 5.0 and later, refer to the "Locale Installation" section in the Cisco IP Telephony Platform Administration Guide.

Reducing the Holdoff Time for TKIP Countermeasure Mode

The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 may transmit a message integrity check (MIC) error to the access point when using TKIP. If the access point receives two MIC errors within 60 seconds, then the access point enters Countermeasure mode in which all associated TKIP clients are de-authenticated for the duration of the Countermeasure Holdoff time.

You can reduce the Holdoff time for TKIP Countermeasure mode to less than 60 seconds (the default value) on the access point.

Use this command on your access point configuration: 

Interface dot11radio 0

Countermeasure tkip hold-time seconds

where seconds is the holdoff time. Suggested values are from 0 to 3.

Regulatory Domains for Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920

Be aware that you can use a Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 only within the region in which it is purchased. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 might not function properly in another region. The Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7920 is manufactured and sold for specific regulatory domains. These domains, such as North America and Japan, have regulations that control the radio frequency (RF) channels and transmission power that are available for wireless phones.

You can determine the regulatory domain for your phone by accessing the Domain menu from Phone Settings. Choose Menu > Phone Settings > Phone Status > Domain. A check mark displays next to one of these settings as shown in Table 1.
