7915/16 Expansion Module support by CUCM 6.0

[emelin]

Is there way to make 7916 Expansion Module work in CUCM 6.0 environment (by means of any Device Pack for CUCM 6.0)? Or the only way to run these modules is direct upgrade from CUCM 6.0(1) -> 6.1(1)?

P.S. I've read the IP Telephony: "7916 expansion module on CM 4.1" forum topic, but if my case is exactly the same, the question is described below. 7916/15 firmware is included in several DevicePacks, compatible with 6.0(x). But if CUCM 6.0.1 does not really support these modules - what this firmware support is used for?

Thank you for your replay. But in fact, this Device Pack was installed and the phone does really "see" the module attached, but from the CUCM administration perspective nothing changed - CUCM does not get this module listed under the "Expansion Module Type" drop-down list. And it does not list it in "Device Default Loads" screen.

Hi Andrey,

When this Device Pack was added did you perform a Clusterwide re-boot? This is always required when adding support for new Device/Model types.

Hope this helps!

Yes, every server in the cluster was rebooted after Device Pack Installation.
