Cisco provides image authentication with its various IP phone protocols. Image authentication allows the phone to detect if the image has been tampered with before it is programmed into the phone. If the image fails the authentication process then the phone will reject the image. Image authentication occurs through signed files. All Cisco Unified IP Phone models 7911G and 7906G loads are signed and can only be upgraded or downgraded to other signed releases.
The 8.3(4)SR1 firmware uses signed (authenticated) files. This step improves IP phone security on the Cisco Unified IP Phone models 7911G and 7906G.
Before using the Cisco Unified IP Phone
models 7911G and 7906G with Cisco Unified CallManager
release 3.3 or later, you must install the latest firmware on all Cisco Unified
CallManager servers in the cluster.
Note: If you have a Cisco Unified CallManager on Release 3.0, 3.1, or 3.2, do NOT install this firmware. You must first upgrade your Cisco Unified CallManager to the compatible releases listed in Table 1 or Table2.

The 8.0(1) firmware release has been
made available on Cisco Unified CallManager
installation CDs; however, it will not be made available on Cisco.com due to
additional bugs filed during final testing. Cisco recommends that you instead
use the updated 8.3(4)SR1 firmware load, which is now
available on Cisco.com. This recommendation is limited to this specific
firmware release and has no bearing on any other software or firmware available
on Cisco Unified CallManager CDs.
The 8.3(4)SR1
installation programs for the 7911G and 7906 G are listed below.
Note: For the Cisco Unified IP phone 7911G and 7906G, you should not add the .loads extension to the firmware version name in the Cisco Unified CallManager database.
Perform the following procedure:

Note: 7906G is support requires Cisco Unified Call Manager release 5.0(3) or later.
Please note that different versions of the installer are needed for different Cisco Unified CallManager releases. Cisco Unified CallManager releases earlier than 5.0 are based on a windows server platform. For Cicso Unified CallManager release 5.0 and later are based on a Linux server platform.
For Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0, you must do all software installations and upgrades by using the Software Upgrades menu options. The system can upload and process only software that Cisco Systems approved. You cannot install or use third-party or Windows-based software applications that you may have been using with a previous version of Cisco Unified CallManager with Cisco Unified CallManager 5.0.
The Cisco IP Unified Phone Model 7911G and 7906G Firmware version 8.3(4)SR1 is also supplied in a zip file, as an alternative in case a Cisco Unified CallManager is not available to run the executable installer program. The name of this file is cmterm-7911_7906-sccp.8-3-4SR1.zip.
After unzipping the firmware files, they should be manually copied to the appropriate directory on the TFTP server.
