Introduction to cmterm-devicepack5.1.3.2104-1.cop.sgn
This cryptographic software package delivers firmware updates for 40+ Cisco IP phone models in Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.x environments. Released under Cisco’s Q2 2025 Unified Communications Maintenance Program, the bundle addresses critical security vulnerabilities while enhancing SIP/H.323 protocol interoperability for hybrid work deployments.
Designed for enterprises maintaining legacy 7900-series handsets, the package ensures compliance with modern encryption standards across distributed UC clusters. The 5.1.3 build specifically resolves TLS 1.2 handshake failures observed in multi-vendor SIP trunk configurations.
