As part of a project to move a clients Cisco phones to SIP to work with an Avaya system, I'm taking a Cisco 7961 we bought and adding it to our Asterisk setup. Now, I've gotten the firmware files from the site, the latest version is 8.4 which contains the following files: apps41.8-4-3-16.sbn cnu41.8-4-3-16.sbn cvm41sip.8-4-3-16.sbn dsp41.8-4-3-16.sbn jar41sip.8-4-3-16.sbn SIP41.8-4-4S.loads term41.default.loads term61.default.loads Now I've read over loads of documentation on it, but am getting tripped up. Most of what I've seen talks about the older firmware versions usually 7.4. I have a feeling I'm still missing a lot of stuff. Anyone have any recent links or information? Also, anyone know of a decent way to generate the config files? I'd hate to have to go through all of it manually? Thanks.

Darrin, The files you are using are consistent with SIP for Cisco Call Manager. Anything other than Callmanager will essentially be a "hack". I am not sure how proprietary the Avaya system is in regards to registration and "open-SIP" support. Asterisk and any iteration of it will support it, but Cisco hasn't really designed a load compatible with it yet. I can tell you that I haven't really found any configuration file generation tools for these files. The reason being is that these loads are mainly used for SCCP and SIP Cisco systems. There is a well known tutorial on how to "Hack to the CP-7970 to trixbox CE located here: http://www.asterisktutorials.com/cisco-7970-ip-phone/ This may help get you jump started and pointed in the right direction. The only problem that may arise is that in the tutorial, the use a specific SIP load (8.0.3) which may not be available for the 7961G. Cory J. Andrews Director New Market Initiatives ?

Ok, ignore what I said below. I've got it working now, thanks a million for this link: http://www.greenwireit.com/blog/2009/04/reflash-your-cisco-7940-7941-7960-or-7961-phone-to-sip/. However, now I'm wondering about the dialplan.xml, can it handle regular expressions like 9[2-9]......? Thanks.
