Do you still have that image for the 7960? I bought a 7940 on ebay and it doesn't have the SIP firmware. I can't find it anywhere but Cisco's website and they require that I have an account with them. Did you happen to save that binary file?

I currently run a 7910 on Skinny (using chan_sccp) and use the aforementioned 7960 simultaneously. Since you mentioned that you will have 50 phones, I assume you are using them in a business setting. I would *highly* recommend using SIP, as I have found that the skinny driver is not as reliable as it could be (not criticizing Jan or Julien at all, here). Reimaging the 50 of them should only take a while (depending on what version of CCM they have at the moment). I reimaged 12 phones once for a business and it took less than 30 minutes after I got it going (toying with the phones to get them to take the image, exactly how the config files were to be set up, etc...). I imagine you could easily get the whole thing done in less than a day (reimaging and config files), then figure out your dialplan. Then there is the whole issue of writing the config files...but you'd have to do those with Skinny, anyhow. I think with SIP you'll have much better reliability. -Andy FWD: 428725 On Apr 12, 2005 12:48 PM, Morris, Simon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello, > > Does anyone else have * running with Cisco 7960 phones and skinny? > > All the advise I am reading so far is telling me to load the SIP image on > the phone but I'd like to know what I'm going to lose by persisting with > skinny > > (Not reimaging 50 phones is one benefit amongst others of skinny) > > Thanks for any comparisons you can provide > > Rgds > > ~sm > _______________________________________________ > 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 > > _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
