Supported Cisco Unified CallManager Releases

This firmware release, 4.1(4), is compatible with Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1(3)SR1 and later.


Note Cisco Unified CallManagers in the enterprise must be upgraded to 4.1(3)SR1 or later, to prevent problems with inter-cluster video calls. Use the Bug Toolkit to access CSCsb58780 for details.


This firmware release provides support for new telephony features provided by Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1. For a full description of the new phone features introduced in Cisco Unified CallManager 4.1, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco Unified CallManager Release 4.1(x):

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/4_1/rel_note/index.htm

Configuration Changes for Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Page

Some of the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985G Release 4.1(4) features, such as assigning Service URL to Phone button, screen saver settings, and so forth, require configuration changes to the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration page. These Cisco Unified CallManager changes are available in:

Version 4.1(4) Cisco Unified CallManager Device pack: ciscocm.4-1-DevPack-27.7.exe

Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.0(3)

Compatibility of Older Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985G 4.0 Software Versions with Revision 74-3636-02 Hardware

Revision 74-3636-02 hardware does not support older versions of software (loads older than Version 4.1(4)).

When loading older versions of software on Rev 74-3636-02 hardware, the phone displays the error message: "System upgrade failed: Using previous image, Press OK" and reverts back to existing image. However, the new software Version 4.1(4) can run on existing Rev 74-3636-01 hardware.
