I'm trying to get my Cisco 7960 configured to work with Asterisk, with no luck. I'm sure I'm missing something very easy... since I know others have this working. I've stepped through Andy Powell's excellent "Getting Started with Asterisk", and it works for my X-Lite softphone. My sip.conf entry for the cisco looks like this:

        [cisco]
        type=friend
        username=cisco
        secret=1234
        host=dynamic
        defaultip=[The IP of the 7960]
        mailbox=9999
        context=sip
        callerid="Ben" <1>

And the related extensions.conf entry:

exten => 1,1,Dial(SIP/cisco,20,tr)

The Cisco config itself.. Line 1 is set for FWD. Line 2 is:

Name: cisco
Shortname: cisco
Authentication Name: cisco
Authentication Password: 1234
Display Name: cisco
proxy address: [The IP of my Asterisk installation]
proxy port: 5060

The FWD line works, the Asterisk line doesn't. Any suggestions or pointers to documentation I might have missed?

Thanks,

Ben Wern

Hints to make your life easier and maybe solve your problem:


1) Make the username numeric instead of "cisco". Change all appropriate configs.

2) Do you see the Cisco trying to register with Asterisk? Use "tethereal port 5060" to watch what happens.

3) Just for fun, put "nat=1" in the peer for your Cisco. It won't hurt.
