asterisk users - Oct 2005 - configuring Cisco 7905G for SIP - how?

After reading the specifications of Cisco 7905G phone ("supports SIP, 
easy to manage" etc.), we were so foolish and bought it.
Now we learned the hard way that we have to pay additionally for SIP 
firmware.

So two months after purchase, after much struggle with Cisco 
the-so-called "support" we have a shiny Cisco 7905G phone, support 
contract, and a newly downloaded SIP firmware.

Unfortunately, the instructions attached to the SIP firmware seem to be 
for a different phone, as they state that the 7905G phone should 
download "lddefault.cfg" config file (which took some time to
configure,
as it's 50 kilo big). In our case, the 7905G phone tries to download 
SEP0014690620AA.cnf.xml, and XMLDefault.cnf.xml.


Does anyone have a good, step-by-step SIP upgrade instruction for this 
phone?

I set up a Cisco 7960 in about 20 minutes with this document. I hope it
works for you.

I too managed to set up a 7960 phone.

But I have (had?) a problem with 7905 phone (still minor problems with 
that, like a wrong timezone).

BTW, I managed to solve it - the contents of the SEP0014690620AA.cnf.xml 
file have to be like this (with the right asterisk box IP address), and 
then it downloads the other files:


<Default>
<callManagerGroup>
<members>
<member priority="0">
<callManager>
<ports>
<ethernetPhonePort>2000</ethernetPhonePort>
</ports>
<processNodeName>192.168.11.15</processNodeName>
</callManager>
</member>
</members>
</callManagerGroup>


Too bad Cisco 7905 documentation doesn't even mention *.cnf.xml files, 
their contents, etc.
Too bad Cisco binaries attached to 7905 firmware complain "option not 
recognized" when parsing even default config files (you need to 
"convert" the text files to some other mysterious format)...
