Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940/7960 SIP functionality questions
I have just bought a Cisco 7960, but haven't connected it up yet. I've also just bought a second X100P card, which I want to use on my second line. The question I have is, can I use two of the buttons on the Cisco phone to specify what line the Asterisk server uses to call out on ? If so, how would I go about doing that ? Also, is it possible to assign multiple extension numbers to a single Cisco phone, using these buttons ?

There are two[1] SCCP channels available for Asterisk: - chan_skinny: part of Asterisk (?), basic support, limited development - chan_sccp: derived from chan_skinny, separately downloaded, more complete support (especially for the Wi-Fi 7920) I have not used chan_skinny. It will probably work for you, but ISTR one of the limitations was that it only provided a single line presentation per device (you will want more than this on a 7960). I use chan_sccp with my 7960s. As I have commented previously, it is quite usable and functional even though the developers class it as "Beta Quality". YMMV. You can find info about chan_sccp at http://www.lambda-solutions.de/sccp. I'm sure there is a lot of information on SCCP and * available in past posts to the list too.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7940/7960 SIP functionality questions
Hi, Would it be possible for you to provide some more info on this. I have just bought a Cisco 7960 on eBay, but only now has the reality of needing a login to upgrade to SIP become clear. Can you tell me how you managed to get your phone going on Asterisk without the image change ?

And let me be the second ;) A 7960, using chan_sccp from Lambda Solutions. Multiple line presentations work well (except things go a little weird when you're on a call on one line and a call comes in on another). I echo Louis' comments that documentation is quite sparse, but I really didn't need any more than the well-commented sample sccp.conf. I have a second 7960 that I'll probably use for SIP playing, if I ever find a Cisco reseller who will take my meager business (one or two Smartnets for phones is obviously beneath them).

I'm currently wondering: Do all the expected functions (transfer, conference, voice mail, message waiting indicator, etc.) work normally with Asterisk over SIP? I've tested transfer, voicemail, and MWI. Conference should work have I haven't tested it. What caveats are known about using these phones with SIP, as opposed to Cisco's proprietary SCCP? If an SCCP module is available for Asterisk, how functional is it? There are two SCCP modules, but I haven't heard about anyone using 7940/60s with SCCP and Asterisk. The phone works very well with SIP. How customizable are the phone menus while using SIP (or if a SCCP module is available, using SCCP)? To the best of my knowledge, the phone's internal menus aren't customizable at all. However, the 'services' button on the front panel works just like a menu button and fetches XML content over HTTP. You can get a good overview of the syntax and possibilities from http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/vpdd/cdd/3_0/ phsvcdev.pdf In addition to the service button, you can also change some of the content reached from the directory button. With SIP firmware v6.3, there are 5 menus available from the directory button: missed calls incoming calls outgoing calls personal directory external directory (I may have the wording and order slightly wrong, I'm not in front of my phone right now). The first 3 menus are built into the phone and are maintained automatically. You can copy names and numbers from these three into the personal directory. I assume that the personal directory is limited to ~32 entries, but I haven't tested it. Finally, the external directory option fetches XML from a web server, just like the services button. You can use it to implement a shared phone directory. Cisco doesn't seem to have much documentation online about using these phones in SIP mode, so if anyone is using these phones now, I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences. Yeah, the documentation is kind of sparse. Google can help. Here are a couple useful pages that I've tracked down: http://www.cisco.com/global/FR/documents/pdfs/ciscotheque/ journee_developpeurs/ 03_Cisco_CallManager_Version_3_3_IP_Phone_Services_nchrisso.pdf http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/wireless/library/wi-voip/ Scott ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
