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

I found a few mentions of the 7914 being used with Asterisk, these all covered SCCP/skinny though. Does anyone know if the 7914 can even be used with SIP? If so, any pointers? Is it a services thing? Anyone get the operator (line/extension status) to work with it. Thanks for the help, Cisco doesn't even mention ANYTHING about SIP + the 7914. Matt

Hello, I'm considering using Asterisk with some type of Cisco phone, and currently considering either the 7940 or 7960 because of its more-complete functionality (compared to the 7905). I'm currently wondering: Do all the expected functions (transfer, conference, voice mail, message waiting indicator, etc.) work normally with Asterisk over SIP? What caveats are known about using

I couldn't figure it out on my own. I tried to purchase a Smartnet for the phone, but the original 7960 is not supported. Is it technically possible and if so, what would it cost me to have someone remote into my network and upgrade my SCCP 7960 to the latest SIP firmware? ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------- next part --------------

I'm trying to setup a couple of Cisco 7960's in asterisk. I have asterisk working fine for sip clients, and can call the 7960's just fine, but I can't seem to dial out on them. As soon as I enter the first digit, the phone attempts to dial it without waiting for the rest. I've changed timeout settings, etc but can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas? Asterisk

I don't have a CCO account with cisco and I want to use asterisk for my cisco 7960 phones But I could not get myself a firmware image for it. If anyone can share a copy of it, would be most appreciated Or if you could point me to where I can download it Thank you ,jm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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

Hi All, I'm thinking of creating a new asterisk server using the latest 1.4 stable release to replace my ageing Asterisk SVN-branch-1.2-r7231 (its been a while!). My only concern - my phones are Cisco 7960's (with sccp firmware 7.2 loaded) and to support them better, I remember compiling in a skinny(?) driver to replace the (from what I could tell) basic in built sccp support. After

I have some Cisco 7960's and want to use them with SCCP - I have gotten it working with a few different firmware versions but all seem a little flakey. I know that SCCP is not as solid as SIP but am wondering, which firmware version is advised for use with chan_sccp from http://chan-sccp.sourceforge.net/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I concur with Conrad. Cisco phones were retrofitted for SIP, whereas Snom phone are built around, and expressly for, the SIP standard. To be in compliance with Cisco regs, you are also supposed to have a SIP User license and a Smartnet contract for each phone if you abide by their program. I realize it is not difficult to obtain the SIP firmware, but if you were dealing with a Cisco authorized

To get the SIP firmware for these phones, you need to buy a Cisco SmartNet support contract (about $75 USD in the USA, though I've heard rumors a Europe-only contract exists for about $10 USD.) You can purchase one through most Cisco resellers. That will give you access to Cisco's download site. Configuration of these phones under SIP is not quite as straight forward as it is with SCCP,

Hi, I got a problem of having to upgrade 35 Cisco 7960 phones from default firmware of 3.1 to 7.5. The problem I get is that when trying to upgrade I see on the tftplog that it can't seem to find the file (8 character issue). So I renamed the files to suit what is supposed to be in them. I am trying incremental upgrades from 3.1 -> 5.3 -> 7.5, with no luck. It goes to

Hi, An Cisco 7960 ipphone has been set to SCCP firmware by one of our students. I want to set it to 7.5 SIP firmware and I've been unsuccessful yet. Firmware versions are SCCP 3.0 (Source: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_ipphon/english/ipp7960/addprot/mgcp/frmwrup.htm#wp1045789) ie: Application Load P003F300 Boot Load ID PC030300 When I browse, phone settings, I see

I recently dug into this, from what I've seen, the best bang for the buck out there is going to be Polycom's. A local vendor has Polycom IP500 phones for $174 shipped to me. IP500 would be comparable to a 7940G I'm assuming. I ran into the same problem with pricing, don't want grandstreams, but can't afford the nice Ciscos. Check out the Polycom's. -Tim -----Original

I'm having a wierd problem with a Cisco 7960 (sccp2) and asterisk (1.4.2) If the call that I'm trying to make goes through, everything works fine. But if there's any sort of error (like me messing around in my extensions.conf, etc). I can't get the connection to drop. ie: If I get the conjestion tone and hang up the phone, I can do a sccp show channels I can see that the

Can anyone point me to the location of the 7970 SIP image? I'm logged in thru my CCO acount with my smartnet contract and cannot find it anywhere..... I know that a bunch of people have it at this point...how'd they get it? -Darren

What is involved in getting SIP firmware into a Cisco 7960 with sccp installed? Expensive image from Cisco? Plated in unobtanium? joe a.

Chuck, The first thing I would do is to upgrade the load to version 6 or higher. I'm running the latest...version 7.2. (I'm very happy with it) Are you using TFTP to load the configuration or manually configuring the 7960? I know it's a pain to setup TFTP just for a quick test. However, it's well worth it. If you have a CCO account you can find the latest load and config files

Before I got down the path of converting a Cisco 7960 I have over to SIP I wanted to try and set it up using Skinny. The phone registers ok with Asterisk. When I call a SIP softphone extension on my network the call is made and I can answering it. However no voice is heard over the call. When I debug Skinny on the console after the call has connected I see the following messag: Recieved Alarm

Hi, I can't upgrade an old 7960 from SCCP 3.0 to SIP 7.5. Could you help ? From http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094584.shtml#sccptosip2, I got the following: 1. Copy the desired binary image from Cisco.com to the root directory of the TFTP server. 2. Specify the image in the configuration file image parameter for the protocol
