The guide I have found says that Cisco 7960 is easier to deal with given that there is a lot of documentation on it on the internet.

Probably more money, but worth it in my opinion.

Asterisk VoIP IP PBX SIP Server with Cisco IP Phones

Thank you for your advice and caution.

I will install a TFTP server on my Asterisk PBX server, according to
the
guide I mentioned earlier.

The 7940 has 2 line buttons, the 7960 has 6 buttons

There are other versions similar, including the 7970 with a color
screen

Not really sure you will have access to the SIP firmware without
some
relationship with Cisco.

Better check before poring money down a rat hole!

Also, you will need a TFTP server working on your Asterisk box

Good luck

I also read that I can google search for SIP firmware and download
them?

Is Cisco 7960 better and more advanced than Cisco 7940?

You may end up with one used with Call Manager, and struggle to get
the SIP firmware for it.

In addition there were several versions of SIP firmware.

None of the code will be available to you without proper
credentials

from Cisco

Good day from Singapore,

Today 18 December 2020 Friday, I found an excellent guide on
configuring Asterisk VoIP IP PBX SIP server with Cisco IP phones. I
think the author explains very well and very clearly. The guide is
certainly very detailed and well written.

Title of Guide: Configure Asterisk with Cisco IP Phones
Author: Tyler Winfield
Link: http://docshare02.docshare.tips/files/6706/67061980.pdf
Original website: http://minded.ca/ (no longer accessible)

I am going to buy a cheap and used Cisco 7940 or 7960 IP phone for
about SGD$20 and configure it to work with my FreePBX 15 and
Asterisk 16 PBX appliance by following this guide. I will provide
feedback and my own custom guide after I have done so.

I just want to share this very excellent guide.

Another excellent website is https://www.voip-info.org/

On the front page, it says:

"Welcome to VOIP-info: a reference guide to all things VOIP."

Sharing is caring.

Thank you.
