Introduction to CME-11.0.tar

This TAR archive provides localized firmware support for Cisco 7900/8900 Series IP phones operating in Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) mode with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CME). Released on May 10, 2025, it implements Cisco’s Global Language Framework 2025 through SHA-384 validated cryptographic signing.

The package enables multilingual interface support (including Simplified Chinese/Japanese/Korean character sets) while maintaining backward compatibility with CME 10.5+ configurations. Designed for enterprises requiring localized SIP/SCCP device management, it supports real-time language switching through TFTP auto-download mechanisms without service interruption.
