asterisk users - Mar 2013 - Cisco 7942G and SEPMAC.cnf.xml and the registration

Hello;

I am facing a problem to let Cisco IP Phone 7942G register on Asterisk. The
firmware has been downloaded from the TFTP successfully and currently I am
running this load SIP42.9-3-1SR2-1S*

I feel that there is a problem in the SEPMAC.cnf.xml but really I do not know
which one to be used exactly. Basically, there is some effect that appears on
the Phone (for example, it is appearing the extension on the button), but the
Phone is not able to register. I tried to ssh or even http or https to the phone
but I can not access it. Although I configured the ssh in the SEPMAC.cnf.xml as
following:

<sshUserId>admin</sshUserId>
<sshPassword>cisco</sshPassword>

Anyone tried to register Cisco 7942G on Asterisk? Which SEPMAC.cnf.xml was used?

How I can access the Phone via ssh or http to be able to see the logs and
understand what is happening?

By the way: this SEPMAC.cnf.xml is existed on cisco website? Is it specialized
for each Phone type (does it differs from Cisco IP Phone 7940 to 7942 to 7960)?

Appreciate the help as really I am sticked at this point and not able to
moveforward.

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bilal

Hello;

The phones are registering now. I found a SEPMAC.cnf.xml file and I used sip
firmware version 8.3 and I configured nat=no at sip.conf and nat to be false in
xml file.

But I am facing a time problem, I am in Kuwait country and the time that is
appearing at the Phones screen is delayed by 3 hours. Kuwait time is GMT+3.

Anyone can help?

Now I am placing the following in the xml file (but I am sure it needs to be
corrected, how I do not know):

<dateTimeSetting>
<dateTemplate>D/M/Y</dateTemplate>
<timeZone>Kuwait</timeZone>
<ntps>
<ntp>
<name>pool.ntp.org</name>
<ntpMode>Unicast</ntpMode>
</ntp>
</ntps>
</dateTimeSetting>

I have a 7960 and the only 'way in' is telnet. I think the default 
password is 'cisco'. Once in, start with the 'debug' command.

Bilal,

Here is the respective section from my working 7906 .conf file:

   <dateTimeSetting>
      <dateTemplate>M/D/Ya</dateTemplate>
      <timeZone>Central Standard/Daylight Time</timeZone>
      <ntps>
         <ntp>
            <name>172.29.100.11</name>
            <ntpMode>Unicast</ntpMode>
         </ntp>
      </ntps>
   </dateTimeSetting>

172.29.100.11 is my local sntp server.

Hope that helps.

Thank you,
Vladimir
