asterisk users - Oct 2003 - Cisco CallManager Image for 7940/7960

Does anyone have the .bin file(s) to convert a Cisco 7940/7960 back to the
CallManager image?
I want to start playing around with the chan_skinny addition, but it seems the
.exe's from cisco want to open a connection to a SQL server or CallManager
(which I don't have).

Dustin,

It's quite a pain to get those without a CallManager...

However, there are some tools for extracting the compressed files from
an InstallShield image and I have successfully done so with those files
in particular and was able with some tweaking to get a phone back to
Skinny without having a CallManager.

Good luck.  If you need a pointer or two, drop me a line at
mhardemn@papersoft.com

I've moved back and forth using the OS79XX.TXT file on the TFTP server.
Copy the bin file, modify the OS79XX.TXT to have name of the firmware
image and power cycle the phone.

The only issue with this process is that once you have the phone running
the firmware you want, you need to clear out the file.  Otherwise all of
your phones will be converted.

I have a small lab with a couple skinny and a couple SIP 79XX phones
sharing
the same TFTP server with no problem.  A larger operation would entail
a dedicated TFTP server for converting the phones before deployment if
you wanted to mix firmware images.

Ah - just got it finished!!
In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I done:


1)  Extract the cmterm-**** file from cisco in order to get the data1.cab (I
used linux's cabextract)
2)  Extract the two files 'P00305000200.bin' &
'P0030500200.sbn' of the data1.cab file (I used i6comp for windows)
3)  Put them in your /tftpboot directory
4)  edit your image OS79XX.TXT file to P00305000200

Reboot your phone & Presto - back to Skinny.
