Hi everybody, I will receive my CISCO 7960G tomorrow. I've ordered it as a "global spare" without any callmanager licence. Now I don't know if I can get firmware-updates so could please someone send me the SIP-firmware? Is the default firmware the "skinny" one? Wich would be better to use with asterisk? Thank you very much
Hi All, CISCO 7960G is may not be a good decision. Without Call Manager, this is garbage. A friend of mine bought this a couple of days ago and had to return quickly, to get the refund.

You need a cisco smartnet license to legally download the firmwares for the phone. This would include the sip firemware On Wed, 14 Jul 2004 20:26:27 +0200, xfastjackx <xfjx@m4tr1xx.de> wrote:> Hi everybody, > > I will receive my CISCO 7960G tomorrow.

I read on the wiki that you can get some license to download it for like $8 a year or something. I'd try there. <googling> http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Cisco <-- is the page I found it on. site:voip-info.org $8 <-- is the search command I used on google to find it (I'm feeling lucky should take you to it) Leif Madsen http://www.asteriskdocs.org
Uhhmm... it takes some work to get them going, and you'll need smartnet to get the sip image, but when you get it done right, NOTHING beats them... W.

By the way: To be legal you also need to buy a SIP license (150 US$ list price). Cisco "spare" components are sold without any license or software... It would had been better you had bought a phone with a software license.

I have to agree that the hardware is fanatastic ... but the functionality is rather poor --- example A --- receive call A answer A Receive call B answer B You can't link/transfer these 2 damned calls. --- example B --- You first have to push new call before dialing a number. this seems to be a detail but 1? why ? and 2? try to migrate users from another system ... --- example C --- an a bit of a proffesional phone transfering a call should be easy and possible in all times : first push "more" and then "transfer" .... again why ??? You only can transfer if you prepared your transfer ! I tend to suspect Cisco not to fine tune their phones for SIP because they are a bit scarry ... for their callmanager ? Give me a combination of the HArdware of cisco and the software of a Snom200 and THAT would be a GREAT phone !

like i said this is a detail look at the other comments .... but to clearify my point : Try to dial a number without pushing a button or picking up the handset. (dial your number and then pickup the handset or indeed with a dialplan it uses automatically the speakerphone) This is so easy to make it work but why does Cisco not do it ?? but i use also the cisco 7905G and their every point i made against the 7960 does work !? but it is not handsfree !!! it sounds strange but i prefer the 7905g Michael -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-admin@lists.digium.com]On Behalf Of Shaun Ewing Sent: donderdag 15 juli 2004 11:03 To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] CISCO 7960G FIRMWARE On Thu, 15 Jul 2004 10:08:41 +0200, Michael Devenijn <michael.devenijn@dkma.be> wrote:> --- example B --- > You first have to push new call before dialing a number. > this seems to be a detail but 1? why ? and 2? try to migrate users from another system ...I don't know how your handsets are setup, but I have *never* had to do that with my 7940/7960 phones (unless using speakerphone, in which case it's either "New Call" or the speaker button). I simply pick up the phone and dial away. Because I have a dialplan setup, the phones sense when enough digits have been dialed and sends the call immediately. All people need to remember here is to dial 0 before the external number. My 80 year old Grandmother has even used the Cisco phones with no problems, and she hasn't even used a computer before. -Shaun _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users DISCLAIMER: The content of this e-mail message does not constitute a commitment of DKMA bvba This e-mail and any attachments thereto may contain information which is confidential and/or protected by intellectual property rights and are intended for the intended recipient only.

The phone are shipped with skinny firmware. You need a contract with Cisco to get access to the sip firmware. Regards Sascha
