​Introduction to term45.default.loads Software​

The ​​term45.default.loads​​ configuration file is a critical component within Cisco 7945G IP Phone firmware packages, serving as the primary template for initializing device settings in SCCP (Skinny Client Control Protocol) environments. Released as part of firmware bundle ​​cmterm-7945G_7965-sccp.9-4-2SR3-1.zip​​ in Q3 2024, this file standardizes display parameters, button mappings, and security policies across Cisco Unified Communications Manager (UCM) 12.5(2)+ deployments.

Designed for enterprise VoIP networks, this configuration file ensures consistent behavior across Cisco 7945G devices by predefining:

  • LCD screen resolution (320×240) and font rendering rules
  • Softkey assignments for call transfer/conference functions
  • TLS 1.3 cipher suite priorities for encrypted signaling

​Key Features and Improvements​

​Localization Standardization​

  • ​Unicode 14.0 Support​​: Enables display of 22 language scripts (including CJK characters) through preconfigured XML font libraries
  • ​Time Zone Synchronization​​: Automates NTP server alignment with UCM clusters to ±5ms accuracy

​Security Enforcement​

  • ​Input Validation Filters​​: Blocks malicious XML payloads in custom phone menus via strict character whitelisting
  • ​TLS Configuration Lock​​: Enforces AES-256-GCM cipher suites and disables TLS 1.0/1.1 fallback

​Performance Optimization​

  • ​Resource Allocation Rules​​: Limits background processes to 15% CPU allocation during active calls
  • ​Button Response Times​​: Reduces softkey latency from 300ms to 120ms through interrupt priority adjustments

​Compatibility and Requirements​

​Supported Hardware​

​Device Model​ ​Minimum UCM Version​ ​IOS-XE Requirement​
Cisco IP Phone 7945G UCM 12.5(1)SU3 IOS-XE 17.9.5
