Avaya has released UNIStim firmware 5.3 for their IP deskphones;
- 0621C8J for the 2007 IP deskphone
- 0623C8J, 0624C8J, 0625C8J, 0627C8J, 0626C8J for the 1110, 1120E, 1140E, 1150E and 1165E IP deskphones
- 062AC8J for the 1200 series IP deskphones
As always I recommend you review the release notes for all the details.
This release includes the following enhancements;
- LLDP Advertisement on PC port
- Support for new audio profile configuration option through Zero Touch Provisioning to support Australian/New Zealand S004 audio standard (applies to 1165E only)
- Support for BCM to IP Office migrations to upgrade IP Deskphones from UNIStim to SIP (1120E, 1140E, 1220, 1230 IP Deskphones only)
I noticed the following warning concerning Avaya’s (formerly Nortel) Contact Recording and Quality Monitoring (CRQM) if you are using Secure Calling;
IMPORTANT NOTE: If a customer is using secure call recording with Avaya Call Recorder (ACR) then they should not upgrade to UNIStim 5.3 until an ACR patch (101055) is available and the functionality is enabled by updating a specific entry in the ACR 10.1 properties file. Note the 101055 patch for ACR10.1 is Generally Available, however, the default operation with this patch applied is to NOT enable the new functionality. Therefore if a customer site is using UNIStim 5.3 and secure call recording, then a specific entry needs to be added into the ACR 10.1 properties file which enables the new functionality. The specific string that needs to be entered will be published once system level regression testing is completed, expected later this month. At that time, this Product Bulletin will be updated.
Cheers!
I got some 1140e Zip phones. How can I convert to unistim? I got a BCM50 to test these phones. I got the firmwares to do that but i have no idea how to do that. How to connect the phone to tftp server? I got 6 license with my bcm50 but i can use only 32 extensions. How can I increase the number of extensions?
Hi Bob,
Just follow this post and substitute the appropriate UNIStim firmware files from the SIP firmware files.

You would need to contact an Avaya reseller to get additional licenses to add extensions. It’s a keycode you would install onto the system that would unlock the additional extensions.
Good Luck!
Hi,
we need to forced a firmware on 1120 IP Phone.
The normal procedure not work ( download from Signaling Server and download TFTP from PC
Do you know another procedure. Thank you
You can use either UTFTP (UNIStim TFTP) or you can use plain old TFTP. You just need to setup your DHCP server to return the TFTP server IP address and then have the appropriate files on the server when the IP phone comes “calling”.
Good Luck!
