New and changed features

The PhoneOS Release 3.2(1) delivers the following new features and enhancements:

MRA onboarding with domain service

You can use the service domain onboarding with Mobile and Remote Access (MRA) when deploying your phones for remote users. When users choose and enter a valid service domain, they will be prompted to enter their user credentials for the MRA authentication.

For more information about the feature, go to the following links:

User credentials persistent for Expressway sign-in

User login credentials can be stored on the phone after the user signs into the Expressway server for Mobile and Remote Access (MRA). If enabled, the users don't need to enter the credentials again even though the phone restarts.

For more information about the feature, see Configure user credentials persistent for Expressway sign-in.

Forced Authorization Code (FAC) and Client Matter Code (CMC)

You can configure the phone to require the users to enter FAC or CMC, or both before they dial out a specific phone number. By using FAC and CMC, you can effectively manage call access and accounting. FAC regulates the types of calls that certain users can place, CMC assists with call accounting and billing for clients.

For more information about the feature, go to the following links:

Multicast Paging (with XML Application Support)

You can set up multicast paging to allow the users to page to phones. The page can go to all phones or a group of phones in the same network. Any phone in the group can initiate a multicast paging session. Only the phones that listen for the paging group can receive the page.

In addition, you can configure the phones to receive pages from an XML server to optionally display an image or other UI elements. With this feature, you can invoke the XML service from multicast paging.

For more information about the feature, go to the following links:

Support for Call center agent's phone

Phone can now be enabled with Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) features. This phone acts as a call center agent's phone and can be used to trace a customer call, to escalate any customer call to a supervisor in emergency, to categorize contact numbers using disposition codes, and to view customer call details.

For more information, see Configure call center agent phone.

Switch for UDS directory service on Unified CM

The User Data Service (UDS) is used as the default directory service for phone on Unified CM. You can disable the service either for all phones or for an individual phone if you don't use it. When disabled, users on the phone can't view the personal or corporate contacts provided by UDS.

For more details, see Configure directory services for phones on Unified CM.

Top 360 and Front Arc LED for voicemails and missed calls

From this release, only the Top 360 LED lights up for the voicemails and missed calls. The Front Arc LED doesn't light up any more for the voicemails and missed calls.

By default, the Top 360 LED doesn't light up for the missed calls. You can enable the LED indication from the call control system.

For more information, go to the following links:

Hot Desking sign-in and booking management

The enhancements for the Hot Desking feature include the following:

  • Hybrid working users can sign in to Hot Desking enabled phones through either Webex App or a web browser on their mobile devices.

  • Administrators can extend user bookings or terminate them on Control Hub.

  • The phones can be provisioned as hot-desk-only mode. Only emergency calls are supported on these phones. Users are required to sign in with their Webex account to use the full features.

For more information, go to the following links: .

Meeting features

In this release, we deliver the following meeting related features:

  • Mute status sync in hybrid meeting: The audio mute status is now synchronized across multiple devices, including the phone, connected headset, and Webex App. This ensures that the user's audio status remains consistent across all devices when they join a meeting with the phone.
  • Recoding indication in meeting: When a meeting is being recorded, a recording indication pops up on the phone screen to notify the users that the meeting is being recording. Also, the users will receive a notification when the recording is paused, resumed, or stopped.
  • Participant list: The participant list shows the participants with their roles and the video and audio status. The invitees that aren't present are listed in the lower part of the list.

For more information about the feature, go to the following links:

Action button supports for custom services

The Action button can be configured to either make an emergency call or trigger a custom service. Administrators can customize the service name, which appears in a popup when the button is pressed, helping users identify which service they'll access.

For more information, go to the following links:

More display languages on the phone

The Cisco Desk Phone 9800 Series now support Thai, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Arabic, and Hebrew as display languages.

Support for XML applications on phones on BroadWorks

For phones on BroadWorks, administrators can add XML applications and assign softkeys or line keys with XML applications for easy access.

For the supported XML objects, URIs, and configurations, see the following links:

Accessibility features

Voice feedback helps people with vision problems to use their phone. When enabled, a voice prompt helps you navigate the phone screen and use or configure phone features.

The voice also reads out incoming caller IDs, touchable area information, screen summary, virtual keyboard keys,hard keys, and softkey information.

To have a better visual experience, you can customize the font size when the phone is taken out-of-box. The customization of the font size does not change few of the texts, such as the texts on the phone header, some descriptional small texts, large text on the phone Home screen, texts in the softkey bar. If key expansion module is connected to a phone, font size of the text in KEM also changes during this customization.

For more information on configuring voice feedback on the phones registered to Cisco BroadWorks or Webex Calling, see Configure voice feedback.

For more information on configuring from phone, see Voice feedback (accessibility).

For information on font change, see Customize font size on your phone.

Cisco Headset USB-C Adapter support

The phones now support Cisco Headset USB-C Adapter for the connection with Cisco wireless headsets.

For more information, see Cisco Headset USB Adapter.

ThousandEyes integration

ThousandEyes enables you to monitor and troubleshoot your devices and network. Endpoint Agent has been integrated into the phone firmware. But you need to enable ThousandEyes on your phones to get the agent registered to the ThousandEyes platform.

Only Cisco Desk Phone 9861 and 9871 support this feature.

See the configurations and limitations in the following links:

New parameters for Office Hours

For phones on BroadWorks, administrators can configure random timer for the phone to enter deep sleep and wake up around the schedule. This feature help distribute the load of network and power system when a large number of phones power on and off simultaneously.

You can control whether to light up the Front Arc LED indicator when the phone enters the Display-Off mode. By default, the LED will turns off. You can change the setting with the LED Indicator in "Display Off Mode" parameter.

See the configurations in the following links:

WxC outbound proxy survivability support

Phone now has the ability to automatically register to the Site Survivability Gateway (SGW) nodes when the network connection to Webex Calling breaks. When the phone connects to the SGW nodes, phone supports only limited set of calling features. When this feature is enabled, user can see the "Limited features available" notification on the phone.

See the configurations in the following links:

Assured Services SIP (AS-SIP)

Assured Services SIP(AS-SIP) is a collection of features and protocols that offer a highly secure call flow for Cisco IP Phones and third-party phones. AS-SIP is often used with Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) to prioritize calls during an emergency.

For more information, see Assured Services SIP.

Certificate Authority Proxy Function (CAPF) with Elliptical Curve (EC) key support

In the previous release, only the RSA key is supported in CAPF. Now, the EC key is also supported. To use the EC key, make sure that the parameter "Endpoint Advanced Encryption Algorithms Support" (from System > Enterprise Parameter) is enabled.

See the configurations in the following links:

Custom Device Certificate on 802.1x

You can install a Custom Device Certificate (CDC) by using one of the following methods:

  • Manual installation by uploading the certificate from phone web page.

    The certificate typically contains a private key and password associated with it.

  • Auto installation by a Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) server.

    You can configure the SCEP parameters by using one of the following methods:

    • Phone web page
    • XML provisioning
    • DHCP option 43

The certificate can be installed for the wired and wireless network with 802.1x authentication.

On the phone web page, you can check the installation status of the certificate, view details of the installed certificate, and remove the installed certificate.

On the phone or phone web page, you can select the certificate type (Manufacturing or Custom) for the 802.1x authentication in wired/wireless network environment.

For more information about the feature, go to the following links:

Disabling speakerphone, headset, and handset

You have the options to permanently turn off the speakerphone, headset, and handset on a phone for your user.

For more information, see Turn off speakerphone, headset, and handset on a phone.

Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP)

Multilevel Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) allows users to prioritize calls during emergencies or other crisis situations. A priority call takes precedence over a normal call or a lower-priority call.

The user can assign a priority to the outgoing calls that range from 1 to 5. Incoming calls display a precedence level icon and the receiver will hear a special ring that is faster than usual.

For more information about the feature, go to the following links:

Multi-server (SAN) Tomcat Certificate with Cisco UCM

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 Phones.

To access the Locale Installer required for a release, access the Software Download page, 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.

The latest Locale Installer may not be immediately available; continue to check the website for updates.

Anything that degrades network performance can affect phone audio and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

  • Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan.

  • Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack.

This product is not a medical device and uses an unlicensed frequency band that is susceptible to interference from other devices or equipment.

When the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Transfer On-Hook Enabled field is enabled, users might report a problem with direct call transfer in SIP phones. If the user transfers the call and immediately goes on hook before they hear the ring signal, the call may drop instead of being transferred.

The user needs to hear the ring signal so that they can be sure that the call is being routed.
