AW: [cisco-voip] new phone models. 7961, 7941 and updated 7912G

[Bernhard Albler]

I'll just chime in on this.

You'll find quite a few bugs regarding 7961/7941 phone in the bug
toolkit. They are marked as third-gen-phones, I suppose they might run
cnu just like the 7970 and the 7971. If I remember correctly there are
some bugs which indicate there might be a touch screen on those, but
this is mosty speculation.

You'll also find some stuff regarding those new phone in the
release-notes for the latest device-pack.

One more thing, in newer cme versions (this is from 12.4.1(4), not sure
if the released version behaves the same), you'll get this when you do a
reset of all phones:

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 119 7971  

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 115 7941  

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 308 7961GE 

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 309 7941GE 

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 307 7911  

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 302 7989  

Reset/Restart-all looking for phones registered as type 30018 7961  

--snip--

I definitely think we need gigabit enabled phones besides the 7971,
since more and more customers actually have gigabit infrastructure right
to the desktop. Even if those capacities are not needed or used now,
it's kind of a bummer to "waste" those switch ports.

 

To do some more speculation:
There are also quite a few references to a 7985 video phone which cisco
is developing together with Tandberg (release notes, bugs and I even
have seen some cmterm beta loads for a 7985). 

I'm not sure, if this a recent product (since there already once was a
video phone which even made it to customer trials) or if we will ever
see this in a real deployment, but it certainly would be cool.

The XXX1 (7971 etc) phones are going to be 10/100/1000 phones from what
I've heard.
