Release Notes for Cisco IPCC/ICM Enterprise & Hosted Editions Release 7.0(0) Installer Update C November 24, 2008
New and Changed Information
GEODES.DLL
Due to the newly acquired export classification for the Cisco ICM 7.0(0) product family to include
high-encryption algorithms, the GEODES.DLL installed on a CallRouter with the MCI NIC or the
CallRouter with the Application Gateway option is now the high encryption library. Upon upgrade for
those systems relying on this library, no further steps are necessary to replace the older default file with
the high-encryption one.

McAfee Anti-Virus Software Compatibility
Due to a defect encountered with the McAfee Anti-Virus product, VirusScan versions 7.x and 8.0i,
systems with this product must be updated with the latest virus definition files before installing ICM
software. Failure to do so will lead to one of the files that get installed by ICM/IPCC software Setup to
be detected as a virus. This is a false positive and can be avoided by simply following staging best
practices and updating the AV product, preferably both the scan engine and the virus definition files
(DAT), as part of server staging.

Router Service Indication
When one of a duplexed pair of CallRouters is brought back into service, it must synchronize with its
running partner. This may cause a brief disruption of service on the running Router, as it snapshots its
state for transmission to the new Router. In order to minimize the disruption, the Router informs the NIC
of the temporary situation, with an estimate of how long it will last. The NIC uses this information to
maintain its connection with the network, even though the Router is unavailable. When the Router has
completed the snapshot, it informs the NIC that it is available, and normal processing begins.
