The Cisco SPA500 Series and Cisco SPA300 Series IP Phones support LLDP-MED

for deployment with Cisco or other third-party network connectivity devices that

use a Layer 2 auto-discovery mechanism. Implementation of LLDP-MED is done in

accordance with IEEE 802.1AB (LLDP) Specification of May 2005, and ANSI TIA-

1057 of April 2006.

For more information on LLDP-MED, including configuration instructions, see

Chapter 5, Configuring Security, Quality, and Network Features, in the

Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and WIP310 IP Phone Administration

Guide.

Voice Quality Report Enhancements

The Cisco SPA500 Series and Cisco SPA300 Series IP Phones provide a new

parameter, Voice Quality Report Address. This parameter is used for configuration

of the phones to work with a SIP event package, SIP PUBLISH, that enables the

collection and reporting of metrics that measure the quality for VoIP sessions. This

parameter can be configured for each extension in the Ext <number> tab of the

configuration utility. More information can be found in Chapter 4, Configuring SIP,

SPCP, and NAT, in the

Cisco Small Business SPA300 Series, SPA500 Series, and

WIP310 IP Phone Administration Guide.

Resynchronizing the Phone Configuration Based on the Time of Day

A new parameter, Resync At, has been added in the Provisioning tab of the

configuration utility. This parameter allows you to specify the time of day at which

you want the IP phone to resynchronize with the server; for example, to download

a new configuration. See the

Cisco Small Business IP Telephony Devices

Provisioning Guide

for more information.
