1. Introduction to cmterm-7936-sccp.3-3-21.cop.sgn

This firmware package provides essential protocol support and security updates for Cisco Unified IP Phone 7936 devices operating in Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) environments. Designed as a maintenance release for legacy Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) clusters, it resolves critical interoperability issues between Cisco CallManager 4.x-8.x systems and third-party SIP trunk providers.

Validated for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.1(5) through 8.6(2a), this COP file delivers backward-compatible enhancements for conference room phone systems requiring sustained SCCP connectivity. Cisco released this update on November 15, 2023, as part of its Extended Security Maintenance program for end-of-life UC hardware.
