Hi, Is anyone successfully using SIP-enabled Cisco 79XX phones with Asterisk ? Could you then configure this phone to display non-english menus (in french, spanish, german, ...) ? Mine is using a rather old SIP firmware (8.3 ?) with which I could get non-english menus. Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am using the phones quite successfully, though I have not tried non-English menus. -Dave From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Olivier Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2009 12:33 AM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] Cisco 79XX, SIP and Asterisk Hi, Is anyone successfully using SIP-enabled Cisco 79XX phones with Asterisk ?

I am also using them quite extensively, but with English menus. I know that the Locale files from Cisco do not come with the firmware, but usually as an update for CallManager. There are a ton of languages that work with the latest firmware, but I have no idea how to actually get the files from Cisco. You may be able to purchase SmartNet on the phones and get it that way, or at least they would listen when you called them... -Jonathan On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 5:23 AM, David Gibbons <dave at videon-central.com>wrote:> I am using the phones quite successfully, though I have not tried > non-English menus. > > > > -Dave > > > > *From:* asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto: > asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] *On Behalf Of *Olivier > *Sent:* Wednesday, August 12, 2009 12:33 AM > *To:* Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > *Subject:* [asterisk-users] Cisco 79XX, SIP and Asterisk > > > > Hi, > > Is anyone successfully using SIP-enabled Cisco 79XX phones with Asterisk ? > Could you then configure this phone to display non-english menus (in > french, spanish, german, ...) ? > Mine is using a rather old SIP firmware (8.3 ?) with which I could get > non-english menus. > > Regards > > _______________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona > Register Now: http://www.astricon.net > > asterisk-users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The phones will pull them off of any tftp server. If you have access to the Cisco software site, you can download the locale installer for a lot of languages. You then just have to extract the files and get them onto your TFTP server and configure the phone to pull the correct locale. This will most likely require either SmartNet on the phones or CallManager. -Jonathan -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
