Release Notes for SPA100 Series Analog Telephone Adapters Firmware Version 1.3.5
First Published: September 2014
These Release Notes provide information about SPA100 Series Analog Telephone Adapters firmware version 1.3.5.
As with any firmware release, read these release notes before upgrading the firmware. Cisco also recommends backing up the configuration before any firmware upgrade.
Changes in Firmware Version 1.3.5
For the Cisco SPA112/SPA122, following are the changes in the firmware version 1.3.5:
- The open Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) open source library used in the ATA is upgraded to 1.0.1g in order to support TLS 1.2.
- LED pattern added specifically for RC status in SPA122-RC to allow users to view and monitor the RC process.
- The SIP parameter "Hook Flash MIME Type" is set to application/broadsoft so that the Broadsoft server recognizes the flashhook event.
The devices with the following PID and TAN numbers (or later numbers) cannot be downgraded to a version older than 1.3.3:
- PID—SPA112-BR TAN—74-11115-01 G0
- PID—SPA122-BR TAN—74-11116-01 F0
- PID—SPA112 TAN—74-9317-02 G0
- PID—SPA122 TAN—74-9318-02 G0
- PID—SPA122-RC TAN—74-9319-02 G0
Server Certification
If a device is upgraded to SW 1.3.3 or later, the provisioning server requests a server certification signed by the Cisco 2K Small Business CA or can use the certificate signed by 1K CA.
Note
The 2K server certificate is not compatible with old firmwares (before 1.3.3.) The 1K server certificate is compatible with all firmwares, before and after 1.3.3.
Client Certification
Devices with serial number CCQ18230001 (and newer) are built-in with 2K Client Certificate.
For a device with 2K Client Certification, the provisioning server should update the combined CA if client certification is requested.
Note The new combined CA is compatible with both 1K and 2K Client Certification.
Hardware and Firmware Compatibility Matrix
Note Do not upgrade any device to an unsupported firmware version as detailed in the Hardware and Firmware Compatibility Matrix table.
Note New devices have a label that reads S/W: Must use 1.3.5(004p) or later.
Note 1.3.2p is identical to 1.3.2 and additionally supports 128MB flash and new SLIC.
1.3.2n is based on 1.3.2; both have the same feature set, except that 1.3.2n supports 128MB flash while 1.3.2 does not.
1.3.5p is based on 1.3.5; both have the same feature set, except that 1.3.5p supports new SLIC while 1.3.5 does not.
1.3.5p(XU), 1.3.5(XU), 1.3.2(XU): SRTP functionality has been removed, and it cannot be configured or provisioned in firmware versions that are designated with XU in the filename.

Known Issues
Note 1: Firmware Downgrade Limitation
The devices with the following PID and TAN (or later TAN number) cannot be downgraded to a version older than 1.3.3.
Note 2: 2K Certificate
If the device is upgraded to 1.3.3 or later (no hardware related), the server could request a server certification signed by the "Cisco 2k Small Business CA" or keep using certificate signed by 1k CA. Be careful, it is optional because the new singed 2k server certificate is not compatible with old firmware (before 1.3.3). While the server certificates signed by 1k CA are working for all firmware, before and after 1.3.3.
SPA112&122&232D with SN CCQ18230001 and after have a built-in 2k Client Certificate. Then server must update the new Combined CA if the client certification is required. The new Combined CA is compatible with the old 1k & 2k certificate, that means it works for all the devices.

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion
Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:
- Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan
- Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack
To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
