When will the 6945 IP phone be supported on the UC500?

[John Platts]

I have noticed that Cisco is releasing the 6945 IP phone. I already know that the other 6900 series phones will be supported in the 8.1.0 software pack. When will the 6945 IP phone be supported on the UC500?

I am looking in a beta version of 8.1.0 SWP and I see a SCCP69xx.8-5-4-0.loads.

There is also a 6901_6911 FW in there too.

So I would think yes.

I found a 6945 in the lab.   I loaded CCA 3.0 (beta) and it is not supported.  The following are supported:

load 6921 SCCP69xx.8-5-4-0
load 6941 SCCP69xx.8-5-4-0
load 6961 SCCP69xx.8-5-4-0
load 6901 SCCP6901.9-0-2-0
load 6911 SCCP6911.9-0-2-0

So I inquired & learned orderability turned on Nov 29th and can be shipped Dec 15th.

So this phone wont be in the CCA 3.0 release.  It is too new.

But thank you for bringing this to our attention.  We are now looking at adding it.
