Well, [EMAIL PROTECTED] has a pretty handy Cisco configuration generator if your phone is already running SIP firmware. That will generate the files you need in your /tftpboot directory. (The two biggies are SIPDefault.cnf and SIPMAC.cnf, where MAC is the MAC address of the phone) Look this up on the wiki, there's a good deal of info there.

[Asterisk-Users] SCCP support is making good progress
Hi folks, whoever owns a Cisco phone and is unhappy about slow firmware, incomplete XML support etc... should really have a look at Sergio Chersovani's rewrite of chan-sccp! It is in fact far away from any sccp-channel drivers we used to know just half a year ago. Sergio did a complete rewrite and meanwhile it's not only running stable with asterisk stable and CVS - it's also very feature reach and supports almost any feature, the real Callmanager has and a few more. But the greatest advantage is - one can use the native Skinny firmware for the Cisco phones. And almost any Cisco phone is supported. Phone support: Fully / almost fully: 7970, 7960, 7940, 7914, 7920, 7910, 7905, 7902, IP Communicator (new softphone) Basic / untested: 7936, 7935 Some features: Monitored speeddials (busy lamp field) on 7970, 7960, 7940, 7914, IPC Call forwarding Call waiting Do not disturb Park / Pickup Autoanswer (1-way or 2-way) per dial parameter Ringer control per variable Highly configurable Links: Official homepage: http://chan-sccp.berlios.de/ Unofficial homepage: http://chan-sccp.org/ Mailinglist: http://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/chan-sccp-users Webforum:http://forum.chan-sccp.org/ Regards, Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje| SCLT, MCP //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler Koch - the original point and click interface ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
RE: [Asterisk-Users] SCCP support is making good progress
whoever owns a Cisco phone and is unhappy about slow firmware, incomplete XML support etc... should really have a look at Sergio Chersovani's rewrite of chan-sccp! Is there a good resource out there for people who don't have a lot of experience with Cisco phones? I picked up a 7960 earlier this week to give potential clients an example of what they get when they spend a *lot* of money on IP phones, but I must confess I'm having a nightmare of a time trying to configure it. The main problem seem to be that I have nothing but a phone and a brief licence agreement/regulatory approval sheet, and nothing else. I've trawled through the numerous pages about these phones both on Cisco's website and on voip-info, but I'm still not really sure what files I need to have on the TFTP server to get the phone going in the first place, or find some up-to-date examples to work from. Even after that I'm not sure I'll be able to upgrade the firmware without a Cisco service agreement (from what I've read), which is ridiculous for a phone that's twice as expensive as many other enterprise IP phones. Any suggested reading others on the list have found helpful in this scenario? Thanks in advance. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] SCCP support is making good progress
Chris, I wrote a post that contains the information (files) you need for the asterisk tftpboot directory to load a 7960 Sip 7.5 image from the server. See this post https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3374221 As far as obtaining the SIP 7.5 software, I see it on EBay all the time for $12.00 buy it now. If you follow my directions about what files to place in the tftpboot directory, and modify your alternate boot server on the 7960, the phone will load the sip software. I personally learned by using SolarWinds TFTP server from my XP station so I could see the file name requests as they were being transferred. On a new Cisco phone, you would set the alternate tftp server to yes then set the ip address of the alternate tftp server to the server with the images to upload. If you need to unlock the phone it can be **# or cisco based on the version loaded. I also was interested in the SCCP driver. I was able to load the driver in Asterisk (AND SEE IT) but could not get it to work. I did ask for a users guide but there is not one available yet. So I think SIP will be the easiest for you to use for you client proposal. When time permits, I'll go back and look over the sccp driver and find my mistakes. :) Paul Norris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:asterisk-users- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Bagnall Sent: Sunday, October 30, 2005 12:04 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] SCCP support is making good progress whoever owns a Cisco phone and is unhappy about slow firmware, incomplete XML support etc... should really have a look at Sergio Chersovani's rewrite of chan-sccp!

It is not likely to find a legal SIP firmware for $12. Not the CD makes it legal but the license from Cisco and this is a little more expensive. Besides from this, Cisco's license agreement does not permit the license to be resold, so to have a legal license, you need to get it from a Cisco partner or at least authorized reseller. Anyway, compared to the SCCP image, the SIP image is very bad. Incomplete XML support, VERY slow, decreased sound quality... Getting chan_sccp from Sergio to work is really easy. The distro contains a well documented sample config and - as I wrote before - there are lots of info in the chan-sccp-users mailing list archive. I myself started with a SIPped 7960 but meanwhile, I run 3 7960s and 1 7905 without any problems.

Getting chan_sccp from Sergio to work is really easy. The distro contains a well documented sample config and - as I wrote before - there are lots of info in the chan-sccp-users mailing list archive. Yep, I've just tried chan_sccp with the 7960 I have here and it appears to work fine (original factory firmware, since it appears I'm going to have to find a service contract just to download the damned updated firmware which any sane manufacturer would provide with the product - unless anyone wants to contact me off-list - nudge, nudge, wink, wink) How does one go about making changes to the display on the phone? So far, my lower soft buttons hae labels like Pnbsp;, and apart from the single line I defined in sccp.conf I have an almost blank display. Is there a good guide to where to change various bits of the display (labels and so on)? Probably a stupid question, but does this thing have a backlight? Thanks in advance. Regards, Chris -- C.M.
