Firmware Migration (Overview)

Multiplatform phone (MPP) firmware enables the 6800, 7800, and 8800 Series to work with approved third-party call control systems as well
as Webex Calling. The feature set provided by this firmware is not identical to that of the firmware designed and built for use with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, but there are many similarities. For the remainder of this document, we will refer to firmware designed
and built for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, as "Enterprise firmware." MPP phone firmware does not work and is not
supported on Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
MPP firmware can run on certain models of the 6800, 7800, and 8800 series. However, only the 7800 and 8800 series have the capability to
run either MPP firmware or enterprise firmware. If you have the appropriate license, you can migrate between the MPP or Enterprise
firmware on the 7800 and 8800. Note: 7800 firmware migration requires that the 7800 model is the correct hardware version.
Important! For all new phone orders, the correct work flow is to buy correct phone SKUs for the type of deployment (MPP vs
Enterprise) and not to buy one type of phone SKUs and then convert them to other type. The purpose of converting firmware is to
help migrate Enterprise customers to the cloud who already have existing phones. Cisco will not allow and not support converting
newly purchased phones to other type of firmware.
