> In my experiences with Cisco 79xx phones, if you have"proxy_register: 1" set, then the phone will require a successful REGISTER transaction before it will give you dialtone. Try setting that option to "0" and see what you get and if it works with "defaultip=" below.
The phone is running the firmware version 5.1 and always gives a dialtone regardless of proxy_register. The problem is that if proxy_register is 0, the phone always shows the unregistered icon next to the line names. I would like the phone to register, but I would also like an incoming call (from * to the phone) to work before the phone registers. From the asterisk handbook v2 draft, defaultip= is supposed to do this, but the setting does not seem to work. I did a tcpdump and asterisk never sends a packet out to the ip specified by defaultip= until the phone registers.
PS: I assume you are talking only about calls from * -> 7960, as you have not mentioned any debugging that seems to be creating calls in the other direction.
Calls from the phone to * in the default context always work regardless if the telephone is not yet registered - the same as any other unknown SIP device. Of course, the phone has to register/authenticate to be allowed to make calls in the context specified in the sip.conf entry for it. The problem is that calls from * to a yet-unregistered SIP device are not even attempted even when defaultip= is specified.
The only current alternative seems to be to set proxy_register to 0 so the phone will not register, then specify host=<phone's ip> in sip.conf, but the problem with this is that the phone shows the unregistered icons next to the line labels (snom and 79XX - probably others)
