Can anyone tell me the features of the Cisco 7905 with SIP? I mean things like number of lines, speakerphone, transfer buttons, etc. I've seen the Cisco material, but all it told me was how nifty it is and how wonderful the XML interface will be ;) Thanks, --Ernest

I've been playing with Asterisk for a few weeks and it's working great. I have a question about getting multi-line receptionist phones working. I was thinking about getting one of these expansion ports: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheet0 9186a008008883d.html What are people using for receptionist phones that show all the extensions in

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

Hi there, In Cisco web site http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheet09186a008008884a.html It says that regardless of the technology used you have to buy a licencse. Does the license apply to use the phone with asterisk, or, can i just buy the phone? Also, the phone does not requiere to use an AC adapter if used with PoE injectors/switches. Can non-Cisco PoE

I've got a question regarding Cisco IP Phones and licencing. When using a third party PBX like asterisk is a licence required for the Cisco phones ? Has anyone got anything in writing from Cisco to clarify this ? Eg can I just use CP-7961G or do I need CP-7961G-CH1 even though I'm not using Cisco Callmanager ? HYPERLINK

Hi, I'm after two very specific ringtones for the 79xx's... A dog barking, and a horse either galloping or neighing. I've tried making the sounds, but for some bizarre reason they're not working. I used to make quite a few ringtones for the 79xx's, but I seem to have forgotten how to do it! And to top things off, I can't even find the documentation on Cisco's site

>how does the phone know where to find the TFTP server..? Dude, option 150 in your DHCP server: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186 a00800942f4.shtml We use the same option for our Mitel phones. HTH.

Interesting notes on the 79xx series. The 7920 is the wireless phone; not mentioned here. For a more complete guide to Cisco's phones, see: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/phones/ps379/products_data_sheets_list.html The 7902 is the "very inexpensive" Cisco phone, and it looks like it will be SCCP (Skinny) only. Twiddling my thumbs here waiting for the chan_sccp to

Please forgive me my ignorance ... I've spent two days trying to find out something about the format of the default configuration file, which CCM produces. The only example I have so far is the one from the chan_sccp source. There were tons of references on entering the callmanager commands on a cisco command line - which I don't have (don't need thanks to chan_skinny + chan_sccp).

Hi Everyone - I just got my hands on a Cisco 7970 and was told that I should do a factory reset before trying to configure it to work with Asterisk. After the factory reset, it will not boot at all, instead sits with the line button lights flashing one at a time in sequence. I have had no luck trying to figure it out - anyone run into the same problem that can lend a hand..? Thanks

I wonder if anyone could send me a pointer to technical specs and pricing information. I got a mail today from an acquaintence that contains what I believe is some serious misinformation, referring to the 7960 as their new portable 802.11b SIP phone. A quick search of eBay would seem to refute that. I hope this is an OK question to ask. . . Thx. b.

Mmm...I swear I read somehwere that the 7912G did SIP? Cisco lists it as an SCCP only phone? -- Undocumented Features quote of the moment...

Does anyone have the 7970 work with sccp? I have used the example configurations from the wiki. I can see that the phone is failing to retrieve the CTLSEP<MAC>.tlv file and then is able to retrieve the SEP<MAC>.cnf.xml file. The phone is hanging with the message "updating ctl". Thanks, John SEP<MAC>.cnf.xml: <device> <devicePool>

Hello List, Does anyone have access to the soft key configuration files for the Cisco 7911/7941/7970/7971 phones? Checked up on the Cisco site and didn't find much up there.

Hi there, I've got an installation where there's 12 POTS line incoming into *, and am trying to get some insight as to which VoIP hard phone would be most suitable for this scenario. Most of the VoIP phones I've looked at only have 4-6 line presentations; is anyone aware of one that has more? I tried to get some info about Snom's Keypad 220 since it has loads of programmable

If you have been paying attention, you already know this, but this weekend I have spent time ironing out the various details with my chan_skinny code that has been out there, if you knew where to look. I believe I now have all basic features operational and am going to be working on getting the class 5 (hold, transfers, call waiting and caller*id, etc) operational in the comming week(s).

Anybody know the proceedure to factory reset the a 7960 phone running 6.3 SIP software? I've tried holding # when booting the phone and nothing, i can do that on my 8.2 phone but this phone i just got with 6.3 isnt working. Also **# doesnt work either.. -- ~Shaun

I'm new to the asterisk world and have been playing with an asterisk server with 1 FXO card for a couple of weeks. Now I'm looking to start adding IP Desk Phones but I'm unable to come to a decision on what phones to use. I like to look of the Polycoms, but because we are not a "phone company" I can't see us getting reseller authorized for them. Shoretel has some nice
