Hi, I'm thinking about getting a couple of Cisco 12SP+ phones to use on my Asterisk system. I have just bought a Cisco 7960, and they are great, but too expensive to buy a lot of them, so I though I might try the 12SP+ ones. I have seen in the archives that the phones work on Asterisk, but I can't see much in there about the images in use. When I got my 7960, it had the call manager image on it, and I had to convert it to the SIP image before I could use it. Is this the same case with the 12SP+, do you need to change it's image ? Thanks in advance, Paul. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20040502/cd91aa0c/attachment.htm
Hi Paul, To my knowledge, you can't change the image on them. I recently bought 3 of them, and we help from this list, I was able to connect them to my asterisk server. However, they are not fully functional. I can make calls and hear calls, but I'm muted. I'm looking for a solution. The protocol they use is skinny, which I don't think is complete. My suggestion is to avoid them for now. -Ry On Sun, 2004T-05-02 at 16:00, Paul Tyreman wrote:> Hi, > > I'm thinking about getting a couple of Cisco 12SP+ phones to use on my > Asterisk system. > > I have just bought a Cisco 7960, and they are great, but too expensive > to buy a lot of them, so I though I might try the 12SP+ ones. > > I have seen in the archives that the phones work on Asterisk, but I > can't see much in there about the images in use. > > When I got my 7960, it had the call manager image on it, and I had to > convert it to the SIP image before I could use it.

Sure,
First I placed this in my dhcpd.conf to give the phone the same ip.
host ry {
hardware ethernet 00:30:80:62:A3:2E;
fixed-address 172.16.0.20;
next-server 172.16.0.5;
}
Note the next-server is the ip of the asterisk server.
Next, in the /etc/asterisk/skinny.conf, I put in that device.
[ry]
device=SEP00308062A32E
version=P002F204 ; Thanks critch
context=home
line => 310 ; Dial(Skinny/120@florian)
Note, the device has the MAC of the phone in it.
The problem I had is that my phones kept going into "Program Update"
mode. I was told to match the firmware exactly. The P002 is a cisco
model, then the F204 is the firmware on my phone. When you boot the
phone, you'll see the firmware version (mine says: F2.04, hence the
F204).
Hopes this help.
