Randy,
Same problem here once (or more). I ended up using TFTP to load a new image. The pone I got was programmed for non-SIP. I went into config and found the TFTP IP, set up a tftp server to load a new config at boot. Be sure your not trying to load too high a version. SIP 7.x WON'T load directly into a much lower firmware version. I needed to do a two step method. First load a 6.0 image, then the 7.x image. A actually used my laptop as the tftp server as I can change the IP addr at will without out screwing up the rest of my asterisk net.

The phone is a used one I picked up from ebay. **# doesn't seem to unlock anything.
The display of the phone says; Configuring VLAN, Configuring IP, ???? (requesting ??? flashes), TFTP ??????.cfg.xml , Protocol Application Invalid.
If I could just somehow get to the TFTP Settings?

Randy,
Is it a new unit? The only reason I ask is that hitting the settings button
should let you straight in.
There is an Rs232 port on the bottom - however not oversure what it's used for on the 7960's.
The reason I as wether it's new or not is that it might need firmware resetting as per the cisco information (not immediately to hand).
If you can see the menu's and just chance change the setting, I think it's something like *# or **# to allow change.
Sorry if that's "suck egg" territory - just trying to cover anything obvious
which is easily missed!!

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Has anyone connected to 7960 with console cablefor
setup?
I have a Cisco 7960 phone. I cannot seem to use the settings button to get
into the phone to change the TFTP server. I've set up a DHCP Server, TFTP
Server with the same address, and the phone requests the address of 0.0.0.0,
the server offers the address of 192.168.2.2, but the phone seems not to
take it.
I have no action on the TFTP side.
So, since I can't seem to server the phone anything by TFTP, and I can't use
the settings button, then I thought I might make a console cable (see
below). I tried to use hyperTerminal, but got no response from the phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Randy
I found a link to make a Cisco Console Cable for RJ-45. http://www.hardwarebook.net/cable/serial/ciscoconsole9.html
DB9F RJ45 Receive Data 2 3 Transmit Data 3 6 Data Terminal Ready 4 7 Ground 5 4 Ground 5 5 Data Set Ready 6 2 Request to Send 7 8 Clear to Send 8 1
The Console Access Manual, give the following cable information:
Console Cable Requirements You use a serial cable with a connector to connect a PC and a phone. The cable uses an RJ-11 connector for the phone and an RJ-45 connector to an RJ-45-to-DB9 converter for the PC. Table D-1 shows the pinout requirements for the console cable.
Table D-1 Console Cable Pinouts RJ-11 Connector RJ-45 Connector Pin 2 ========== Pin 6 Pin 3 ========== Pin 4 Pin 4 ========== Pin 3
So, I thought I would go right from DB9F to RJ-11 DB9F RJ-45 RJ-11 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Pin 4 Pin 3 Pin 3 Pin 6 Pin 2 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.817 / Virus Database: 555 - Release Date: 12/15/2004
