Limitations and Restrictions

These limitations and restrictions apply:

•IOS Limitations

–After upgrading software pack to 8.6.0, the UC500 self-signed certificate will be corrupt. If you are unable to connect to your UC500 using CCA, try connecting using tab Hostname / IP address after setting HTTP protocol to 'HTTP' in the Advanced Options tab. Then press the Connect button. In addition, any SPA525 phones that are connected using SSL VPN will fail to connect. You must regenerate certificates by going to Configure > Security > SSL VPN and click the 'Regenerate Certificate' button (CSCty07520, CSCtz36465).

–Passwords in the current IOS version in sofware pack 8.6.0 uses an encryption method that is not backwards compatible with older IOS versions. When attempting an IOS downgrade, the username/password will be reset to factory default of cisco/cisco (CSCtz27359, CSCtz27359).

•Cisco phones CP8961 / CP9951 / CP9971

–These phones have limited feature support; these are the only features that are supported:
- Topology View
- Voicemail
- Auto Attendant
- Dial by name
- Blast group
- Dial Plan
- Normal Lines

–These phones are not supported with Teleworker nor Multisite environments.

–There is no support for these phones in the Telephony Setup Wizard (TSW).

–Cisco Unified IP Color Expansion Modules (sidecars) are not supported.

•Cisco Jabber for iPhone

–DTMF tones orginating from Jabber for iPhone are not recognized by Cisco Unity Express and some SIP service provides. To fix this issue, log in to the UC500 using SSH/Telnet and enter the command:
dtmf-relay rtp-nte sip-kpml

under the voice register pool for Cisco Jabber. (CSCts87199).

–The feature set of this application is limited when used with the UC500. A shared line cannot be created between Cisco Jabber and a desk phone.

–This application has limited feature support;These are the only features that are supported:
- Voicemail
- Auto Attendant
- Dial by name
- Blast group
- Dial Plan
- Normal Lines

–This application is not supported with Multisite environments.

–A Cisco ASA is required for Teleworker deployment.

–There is no support for this application in the Telephony Setup Wizard.

–The iPhone should always be associated with the Voice Wireless LAN SSID. Heavy data usage on the iPhone may cause voice quality issues on WLAN.

–Voice quality is not guaranteed on Cisco Jabber.

–If an outbound proxy is configured under a SIP trunk, it may cause incoming calls (internal and external) to Cisco Jabber to fail. To fix this issue, log in to the UC500 using SSH/Telnet and enter the command:
no outbound-proxy system

under the voice register global command.

–For more information on Cisco Jabber, see
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-24508.

•SPA8000 / SPA8800

–Only FXS ports are supported for configuration through CCA.

–These devices are not supported with Teleworker nor Multisite environments.

https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-24912.

Notes

The following notes apply to Cisco Configuration Assistant 2.0 and later:

•When you start Cisco Configuration Assistant, Java determines whether the resources it needs are available.

If they are not, Java displays the message Could not create Java Virtual machine, and the session ends. To overcome this problem, open the file C:Program FilesCisco SystemsCiscoSMBCisco Configuration Assistantstartupstartup.properties (the default installation path), and modify this entry:

JVM_MAXIMUM_HEAP=1024m

Replace 1024m with 512m.

This problem can occur on PCs with lesser specifications.

•If the Cisco Configuration Assistant InstallShield Wizard fails to start, it is likely there is a problem with the temporary folder location defined through the environment variables TMP and TEMP. Assign a correct temporary folder location to fix this problem.

Resolving Cisco Model 79xx Phone Upgrade Issues

After installing a UC500 software pack that contains version 8.5(3) phone firmware for Cisco Model 79xx IP phones, Model 79xx phones being upgraded from firmware versions prior to 8.5(2) may not register, or may register but still be running an older version of the phone firmware. When the phone attempts to upgrade to 8.5(3), you may see the message 'Auth Fail' displayed on the phone.

This is due to a known issue with Model 79xx IP phones (the issue is documented in the Cisco Unified IP Phone Release Notes for Firmware Release 8.5(3) (SCCP and SIP (www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/firmware/8_5_3/english/release/notes/7900_853.html#wp57602).

For all SCCP firmware upgrades from firmware release versions earlier than 8.3(3) to version 8.5(3) or later, you must first upgrade your firmware to version 8.5(2). Once you have upgraded to version 8.5(2), you can upgrade your IP Phone to version 8.5(3) or later. The problem affects these CCA-supported phone models:

•Model 7975, 7970, and 7971

•Models 7945 and 7965

•Models 7942 and 7962

•Models 7941 and 7961

•Models 7906 and 7911

•Model 7931

Perform the procedure in this section to correct the problem by upgrading the phones to an intermediate load before upgrading them to version 8.5(3) firmware.

Before You Begin—Download the 8.5(2) Phone Firmware

Download the 8.5(2) phone firmware .zip file for each model phone that must be upgraded. This is the intermediate load that will be used.

IMPORTANT You must download the 8.5(2) version of the phone firmware. The 8.5.2SR1 load cannot be used for this purpose.

To locate the 8.5(2) version of the SCCP (Skinny Client Control Protocol) version of the firmware for the desired phone models, follow these steps.

STEP 1 Log in to Cisco.com (you must have a Cisco.com login to download phone firmware).

STEP 2 Open a Web browser and go to www.cisco.com/go/software.

STEP 3 On the Download Software page, choose Voice and Unified Communications > IP Telephony > IP Phones > Cisco Unified IP Phone 7900 Series > Cisco Unified IP Phone <79xx>.

STEP 4 Click the Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) Software link.

STEP 5 In the Search Release field, enter 8.5(2) and click Go.

STEP 6 Click the link to the 8.5(2) software.

STEP 7 Download the .zip file for the selected model. For example, the filename for Model 7975 phones is cmterm-7975-sccp.8-5-2.zip.

STEP 8 Repeat these steps to download 8.5(2) firmware for each of the phone models to be upgraded.

Upgrading the Phone Firmware

Perform these steps to upgrade the affected Model 79xx phones with version 8.5(2) firmware as an intermediate step and then upgrade them to version 8.5(3) firmware.

IMPORTANT The embedded TFTP server in CCA is used for drag-and-drop file uploads. Before performing the upgrade, disable any third-party TFTP services running on your PC and check the firewall and network security settings on your PC to make sure that TFTP packets can be transmitted between your PC and the UC500.

STEP 1 Launch CCA and open the Topology view.

STEP 2 Drag and drop the .zip file with the 8.5(2) phone firmware onto the UC500 icon in the Topology view.
Do not change the .zip file name or unzip the file.

STEP 3 In the File Upload dialog, click Upload.
CCA extracts the files from the .zip archive and copies them to a temporary directory on the UC500 flash. If there are any TFTP and load configurations for 8.5(3), these are replaced with the intermediate 8.5(2) load and files.
The Phone Firmware Update dialog shows the progress of the upload. Once the files are copied to the flash, CCA displays the following message:
'Disconnect all Cisco Model <Model_Number> IP phones, and then reconnect them. Wait until the phone firmware upgrade completes, then click OK to continue.'

STEP 4 Disconnect and then immediately reconnect the indicated phones. Wait for the upgrade to complete on all the indicated phones.
IMPORTANT Do not click OK until all of the affected phones have upgraded their firmware and re-registered. The upgrade takes at least 10 - 11 minutes and the phones will restart. To verify that the interim load has been installed, press the settings button on the phone and navigate to Settings > Status > Firmware Versions > Load File. The interim load filename is SCCP45.8-5.2S.
After the interim upgrade completes, CCA removes the interim 8.5(2) TFTP and load commands, replaces them with the 8.5(3) TFTP and load commands, and then issues a reload/reset command to the phones to load the 8.5(3) firmware.
Once the final reload and reset completes, the phones will be upgraded to the 8.5(3) firmware and re-register with the UC500.

STEP 5 Repeat these steps for each different phone firmware .zip file.

Open Caveats

This section describes the open caveats that could create unexpected activity in this software release.

Table 7 Open Caveats in Cisco Configuration Assistant 3.2.1 and earlier

Description

CSCsx86872

A DID does not register when Service Provider SIP trunk configuration is loaded from different PCs.

Symptom Some Day2 additions or modifications under Telephony are misconfigured for a custom SIP Provider. For example, an added DID may not register correctly. The custom SIP Provider name is shown in the SIP Provider dropdown list but no Template information is displayed. The CCA Application log contains this error: ++: ERROR: : SIPData: SIP Provider read from device is not supported by any template: <PROVIDER NAME>

Workaround To get around this problem, use only the original CCA installation to make Telephony related modifications OR add the custom SIP Provider template (.xml) to all CCA installations which may configure the same UC500.

CSCtn48997

The voice VLAN static route is missing when changing the voice and data VLAN from the default IP.

Symptom This will happen when an SR520 and UC are not initially configured by the Telephony Setup Wizard. It will not happen if the Telephony Setup Wizard was used to configure an SR520 and UC.

Workaround Manually add static route in SR520-t1 to a newly created Voice VLAN IP network.

CSCtl06532

SIP Trunk: Add configuration to remove second 'c' header in SDP.

Symptom Multiple 'c' headers are sent in the SDP. This causes issues when the upstream NAT device sees only NATs on the c header. Service Provider SIP proxy adheres to RFC3264 and only looks at media level c= line and ignores session level c= line.

Workaround None.

CSCtk96606

Icon for the 6945 IP Phone is incorrect in the Topology View.

Symptom The icon used for the 6945 IP phone is incorrect in the Topology View.

Workaround None. The Model 6945 IP phone is not supported by CCA. CCA discovers the phone and displays it in the Topology view, but since it is not a supported phone, CCA displays the default phone icon in the Topology view.

CSCtk76997
