[Asterisk-Users] Has anyone connected to 7960 with console cable for setup?
I have a Cisco 7960 phone. I cannot seem to use the settings button to get into the phone to change the TFTP server. I've set up a DHCP Server, TFTP Server with the same address, and the phone requests the address of 0.0.0.0, the server offers the address of 192.168.2.2, but the phone seems not to take it. I have no action on the TFTP side. So, since I can't seem to server the phone anything by TFTP, and I can't use the settings button, then I thought I might make a console cable (see below). I tried to use hyperTerminal, but got no response from the phone. Anyone have any ideas?

The 7914 port is probably a serial link of some sort, but you won't get where you want by trying to talk to it via hyperterminal. I'd suggest trying a different DHCP server or adjusting its settings. It worked just fine for me out of the box. Scott

Randy, Is it a new unit? The only reason I ask is that hitting the settings button should let you straight in. There is an Rs232 port on the bottom - however not oversure what it's used for on the 7960's. The reason I as wether it's new or not is that it might need firmware resetting as per the cisco information (not immediately to hand). If you can see the menu's and just chance change the setting, I think it's something like *# or **# to allow change. Sorry if that's "suck egg" territory - just trying to cover anything obvious which is easily missed!!

Why can't you use the settings button? If you know the password (or using the default password) you should be able to unlock the phone and do a hard reset...
