similar to: Cisco 7960 SIP boot takes 2 minutes?

I have been able to upgrade my Cisco 7905G phones to the SIP Image without any problems, but I just got a 7960, and I can't seem to get to the settings so I can upgrade to a SIP Image. When the phone boots up, it says Configuring VLAN, Configuring IP, TFTP ????..., then Protocol Application Invalid. I noticed on the wiki page "Firmware issues on 7940 - 7960"

Hello all, I've got myself into a bizzare situation that I can't seem to get myself out of... Was wondering if anyone had some advice that might get me 'over the hill' on this... Some background: PBX consists of an Asterisk box (running TrixBox), 4 Cisco 7960's, 2 Polycom IP500's, and now an additional Cisco 7960. The phones are all on a separate LAN. There is

Hello Guys, I just got my new Cisco 7940* IP Phone Unfortunately I can't find out how to setup this phone. Am I really that stupid ;-) ? I've read the Cisco Manuel, but everything I tried did not help anything. 1. When I turn on the phone it will display "Configuring VLAN....Configuring IP".. This message will not disappear. 2. I can see that the phone has a local IP. I can

Hey everyone, I came across a situation where I needed to use CDP to advertise a voice vlan to Polycom/Cisco (and other CDP capable phones) without a Cisco switch. Sure I have Cisco switches in places but I like my Polycoms to work out of the box and it isn't always practical to purchase a Cisco switch for every location. cdp-tools homepage: http://gpl.internetconnection.net/ So I

For anyone who is interested, I have a working tftpd (modified wvtftpd) capable of serving configuration, dialplans, and ringtones to Cisco 7960/7940 and ATA-186 devices that are located behind NAT firewalls. As TFTP is not a very firewall/NAT friendly protocol, I had to break some rules to get it to work with these cisco devices. It might cause problems for other TFTP clients, but it works with

Hello list, does anyone know how to change the "interdigit timeout" when using Cisco IP Phone 7940/7960 with SIP-Firmware and Asterisk? it's default value is 15 sec. but i have nothing found to set this in tftp-config file etc. Thanks in advance, Roland

Hey gang, We have about 30 Cisco 79XX phones all running latest 7.5 SIP. We are also using all Cisco Switches and Routers. Everything works great except that when you reboot a phone it takes like 3-5 minutes for it to come up. The phones spend tons of time 'Configuring VLAN..' We don't run any VLANs. Is there some way to skip this? In the 'Network Settings' I have

Hi, (I think) I followed instructions here ( http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Firmware+issues+on+7940+-+7960 section "Notes added Nov 2005, revised May 2006:" at the bottom of the page) to factory reset a Cisco 7942 I wanted to configure to SIP firmware. When booting, I can see this requesting and obtaining file term42.default.loads from TFTP server. Then it would send a request

I have found a phone that I wish I had not! This is by far the worst phone to setup. I have finally upgraded it to Sip but once this got done it I am not able to get it unlocked so I can enter the rest of the settings. So if anyone out there can tell me how to setup my DNS server to tell it where the tftp is located (Windows 2000 DNS server) or please let me have the default password. I called

Hi everyone. I've just tried installing the SIP image and i'm getting a very odd error. It says: Configuring VLAN then Configuring IP then Protocal Application Invalid Help!!!! Matt

I currently have two Cisco phones, a 7960 and 7970. The 7960 has a SIP OS on it and the 7970 has a SCCP. When the 7960 powers up it loads OS79XX.TXT, SIPDefault.cnf, SIP000E3875266C.cnf, RINGLIST.DAT, and dialplan.xml. I have a Cisco SmartNet agreement with the phone so I have access to download the firmware. I recently purchased a Cisco 7970 phone and was in the process of configuring

Hello to all I would like to know If some of you have already configured an Cisco IP Phone (7940 or 7960) to work in a different VLAN than the PC that is connected through the phone switch? I know that this can be done with the Skinny firmware, but I dont if it works with the SIP firmware. The Cisco technical staff told me that these phones dont support 802.1x but can work as pass-through.

(Apologies to those Toronto Asterisk Users' Group folks who have seen this message... I figured I'd have more success with a wider audience) I'm trying to boot a Cisco 7960 from an ISC DHCPD server (3.0.3 on FreeBSD 4.11), so far unsuccessful, and getting some odd behaviour on the wire. I wonder if anyone has done this before and therefore can validate whether or not the traffic I am

Hello to all Does someone knows how to force the Cisco IP phones (7940 and 7960) to reboot weekly or monthly? I think this would be useful because sometimes we change the configuration settings in the TFTP, but the phone just check the TFTP when he restarts... Thanks Jo?o

Hi, Has anyone tried to use cdp to push the voice vlan tag to polycom phones? The document says that it is supported, but I can't make it work. Thanks, Richard

Hello, I have been tearing my hair out on this issue for 2 days, any help would be appreciated. We have a normal network and a Cisco SGE2010P switch - a 48 port PoE switch There are two VLANs, 1(data) & 50(VoIP). When Polycoms are connected to the switch with VLAN 50 hard coded in the config they grab a DHCP address from VLAN 1, the PVID for the switch port. The ports have membership in

Cisco phones act a as a switch. If you do not use the CDP protocol to "tell" the phone it needs to be in a special VLAN (802.1q) then it will just use the access port settings on the switch, and, also allow the PC connected to the 2nd Ethernet port to have access to the network. However, if you have an all cisco powered network, with all cisco phones, I could advise you to use the CDP

Does anyone have the .bin file(s) to convert a Cisco 7940/7960 back to the CallManager image? I want to start playing around with the chan_skinny addition, but it seems the .exe's from cisco want to open a connection to a SQL server or CallManager (which I don't have).
