Can 78xx or 8831 be configured as Third Party SIP device on CUCME 9.1?

Can 78xx or 8831 phones be configured as Third Party SIP devices on CUCME 9.1?  If yes, limitations?

[Brian Meade]

You could try it.  I doubt anyone has really tested it that much.  Is there a reason you don't want to just install the device pack and add them as the real models?

I was under the impression I needed to be at CME 10.0 for support of the 78xx/8831 phones.  Looking for a short-term option.

I missed the part where you said CUCME and was thinking you said CUCM.

You can try adding them but you will probably have to manually create the config files.

I would suggest going with CME 10 and fast track option when adding these new phones...tried it - and it works OK. And I think that going to CME 10 from 9.1 is not such difficult for you...

I have a similar case here as well.
