I recently upgraded a Cisco 7960 to the SIP firmware, it worked fine without
a "call-manager". I just put the SIP firmware and associated config
files
in the TFTP directory of my asterisk server so that the phone could pull the
firmware off of my asterisk server via TFTP. It took me about 5 minutes
maximum to get the phone working with SIP through asterisk. NO Call-manager
was used in the firmware upgrade process. Before SIP my phones where using
SCCP (also known as skinny). I imagine that a change from MGCP to SIP
should be as painless.
