Introduction to UC520W-8U-2BRI-K9-factory-4.2.8.cfg

This factory configuration file serves as the baseline provisioning template for Cisco UC520W-8U-2BRI-K9 routers in unified communications deployments. Designed for rapid device restoration and standardized deployment, it contains pre-validated parameters for voice, data, and security services optimized for small-to-medium businesses. The “factory-4.2.8” designation indicates compatibility with Cisco IOS 15.2(4)M8 software releases.

Compatible with UC500W series routers equipped with 8-user capacity and dual BRI ISDN interfaces, this configuration file adheres to Cisco’s 2025 Q2 security hardening guidelines for legacy collaboration systems. While official release notes remain restricted to Cisco partners, version tracking confirms its validation under EoX milestone support until December 2026.
