I can't get the 7960 to reconfigure and work. I am a newbie to voip. I went through the list and read some other comments about the 7960 and unlocking it. It is a used 7960 that came with CallManager. I need to have SIP. I first reset the phone to factory defaults then I changed the TFTP server address in the settings. I have unlocked the phone with **# and it shows the lock as unlocked in the upper right hand corner. I was told that the phone should be able to download the SIP... file once the TFTP address was changed. So far nothing though. Any ideas? Mike
Mike: I know this sounds patronizing, but do you have the SIP image files? If so, what version? Per the Asterisk wiki page on the 7960/7940s, you may need to upgrade incrementally. Additionally, make sure you have the correct files in the root directory of your tftp server (for linux, this is probably /tftpboot). Also make sure that the tftp server works (you can test it from a linux client).

Yes, a few times. All it does is show the following on the screen: "Configuring IP", then "Configuring CM List" then Defaulting Cm to TFTP server", then "Opening 66.xx.xx.xx". Then it goes back to the beginning and repeats itself over and over.

Mike, Under status, what is the firmware version? You're looking for Appl Load ID, Boot Load ID and Version. Most likely you'll have to get a version 6 SIP image and then you'll be able to install the current 7.4 SIP image after that. In order to get these image files, you have to be a contract paying Cisco client to download them from Cisco's site. I just went through this on my 3 7940s, but I have them all converted over to SIP. You also need to run a TFTP server. I used Cisco's old TFTP program on my Windows XP Pro box. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of mk111 Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 9:31 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] cisco 7960 SIP setup I can't get the 7960 to reconfigure and work.

There's a long chapter in my book about re-programming the 7960 from skinny to SIP that might help you out. Figuring it out was non-trivial. You can get the book at Amazon.
