​Introduction to cmterm-ce10_15_4_1.k3.cop.sgn Software​

The ​​cmterm-ce10_15_4_1.k3.cop.sgn​​ file is a Cisco Options Package (COP) designed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) Version 10.15.4. This digitally signed package delivers critical updates for third-party SIP device interoperability, security hardening, and compliance with RFC 3261/3960 SIP protocol extensions.

As part of Cisco’s Device Compatibility Program, this COP file enables certified SIP endpoints from vendors like Poly, Yealink, and Grandstream to integrate with CUCM 10.15.4+ environments. Key enhancements focus on mitigating SIP INVITE flooding vulnerabilities while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy SCCP firmware (11.5 SU3 and earlier).
