I thought that was fixed in the latest 9.x?

I have a 7961 and just registered at cisco.com then logged in, did a
search and was offered the firmware files for free.

[Martin]

If I need to use SIP, from where to get the suitable firmware for these Cisco 
IP Phones 7942G?



Be careful, not all versions of SIP firmware work with asterisk. I do have 8-3-1 
(cmterm-7941_7961-sip.8-3-1)here and it works just fine with my 7961. Downloaded 
somewhere. Version 9.x is broken, SIP only works over TCP.



Where do u download the SIP firmware usually for your Cisco IP Phones?


Search for "cmterm-7941_7961-sip.8-3-1.zip"
I also have some other files here but I don't remember what was the reason for 
them :-(


Martin


Your kindly help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Bilal



I'm using the sip firmware.. It's alright.. I feel like I'm
not receiving
all the features I should.. But MWI works and multiple call
appearance..

Hello,

Facing the same problem with the following debug skinny log:

  -- Asked to indicate 'Stop tone' condition on channel Skinny/500@duba-23
Received Alarm Message: 32: Name=SEP001X Load= SCCP11.8-3-4SR1S :

Did you solved the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk 1.8.4.2 "tooooooooooooooooo"

[bilal ghayyad]

Hi All;

Again, the Cisco IP Phones 7942G and using Skinny:

I upgraded the firmware to version 8.5 (skinny) and I am using skinny channel 
(chan_skinny) and the skinny.conf file.

The phones are registering, but when we use them to place a call, we only hear 
tooo in the handset and we do not hear voice (even when we dial the 
digits, we only hear t .. but it dials and destination answer).

Also if we call to these phones, and we pickup handset of the 7942G, I am 
hearing too and no voice (no one hear voice .. source and destination 
are not hear).

What about be? Is it related to skinny channel that does not work?

In that case, skinny channel is not working fine and that means, I have to use 
SIP !

Did any one face like this problem?

Another problem, if I did changes in the extensions.conf and I need to reload, 
then I can not reload only the extensions.conf, I have to do reload and that 
will cause a reset for the Phones.

Any advise? Did anyone tried skinny and faced those problems?

Regards
Bilal

wow I think someone needs to just spend some time reading and playing. Getting 
these phones working is not rocket science and there are similarities with how

The .sgn file is basically just a zip container that the Cisco Call Manager
uses.  You'll want to grab the zip file, extract the contents of the file
into your tftp root directory.  The latest firmware that I've used was
8.5.2, in which most everything I needed worked for me.  I don't know
specifics about the later versions of Cisco's SIP releases.

You should have, at least with firmware 8.5.2, the following files in your
tftproot directory after unzipping the zip file:

apps41.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
cnu41.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
cvm41sip.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
dsp41.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
jar41sip.8-5-2TH1-9.sbn
SIP41.8-5-2S.loads
term41.default.loads
term61.default.loads
XMLDefault.cnf.xml
SEP[_MAC-ADDR_].cnf.xml

I provide samples of the last two files on the blog post mentioned earlier.
The last file, that starts with SEP, should contain the actual mac address
of the phone you are trying to provision.  So, for example, it would be
SEP0003C9DD5624.cnf.xml, if the mac address of your phone was
0003.C9DD.5624.  The example files are pretty much all you need, just go
through them and change any location specific variables (such as _USER_,
_IPADDR_, or _PASSWD_) to the proper values for your environment.

Once you've got your tftp server setup properly with all of the appropriate
config files, plug your phone in and follow the instructions at the bottom
part of my blog post that explain how to get the phone reflashed to the SIP
image and registered to your asterisk server.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[bilal ghayyad]

Dear Warren;

It look like u have a good experience in 791x series and in selecting SIP 
formware, so I am sure you might be able to help in the following:

As u know, there are SIP firmware for Cisco phones to be used with Call Manager 
and other firmware to be used with Generic SIP Server (other than Cisco Unified 
Call Manager). Actually the firmware that start by P0S is that used for Generic 
SIP Server and that start by cmterm is used for Cisco Unified Call Manager.

Can I understand from ur blog, that u can use the files that its name start by 
cmterm to make the Cisco IP Phone to be SIP image that can be used by Asterisk? 

In my case, as the Phones are 7942G, then there are two files are available, 
really I do not know the difference between them (if u can advise):

cmterm-7942_7962-sip.9-2-1.cop.sgn (which is written that it is SIP IP Phone 
load) and cmterm-7942_7962-sip.9-2-1.zip which is written that it is SIP IP 
Phone firmware files only. So what is the difference between them "the load and 
the firmware"?

Now, when I need to do the upgrade for the Phone, then I have to determine in 
the xml files the needed firmware?

Appreciate your kindly help.

Regards
Bilal

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[Dan Austin]

You do not need sccp.conf if you are not using chan_sccp.
It has different features(bugs) than chan_skinny, but yes
it would also reset the phones (if it supports reload, and 
I have no idea if it does).

Also if the phone is in a call it will not reset until after
the user hangs up.  Reloading the channel triggers a soft reset
that causes the phone to request its configuration, which may have
changed.

Dear Dan;

I have to do something in the compilation to have chan_sccp? Because, I do not 
have this channel and I have only chan_skinny.

Even in the /usr/lib/asterisk/module/, I did not find chan_sccp.

Maybe that is the reason why I do not have the sccp.conf file?

So, using the sccp channel, will also face the same problem that the phones 
will restarted if I did reload?

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[bilal ghayyad]

Dear Stefan;

First of all, I tried skinny and I faced two major problems (so if I am going 
to face same problems in sccp then no need to use sccp, so please advise).

The two problems that I faced them are:

1) When I do reload then the skinny channel is reloaded and that will cause a 
restart for the Cisco IP Phones (that are registered to skinny channel). Is the 
same thing happening with u when u r using sccp channel?

2) When I called the Phone, it is ringing, when we pickup the handset to answer 
the call, we hear t and we do not hear what source is 
talking and source does not hear us even .. but if we select music on hold, 
then caller will hear the music. Also, when we tried to use the Ciscp IP Phone 
to place a call, while we are dialing, the too tone is always 
existed and it is ringing at destination but no voice (always 
t).

So, with sccp no problem?

>From the other side, if I need to use sccp (if we assumed the above problems 
>are not existed) then can u please help for below:

1) If i used sccp and I gave the IP Phone the IP address TFTP server, and no 
configuration files were existed on TFTP, then it will register on the asterisk 
sccp channel?

2) The sccp.conf file, where I can find it? Is it the same as the skinny.conf 
file?

3) To use sccp instead of the skinny channel, all what I need is to unload the 
skinny from the modules.conf file and load the sccp channel in the 
modules.conf, and I can use the skinny.conf file for the configuration? About 
the firmware on the Phone, it will stay the same?

I appreciate the kindly help please.
Regards
Bilal

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[bilal ghayyad]

Dears;

OK, I have two things now:

1) When I do reload from the asterisk CLI, then all the skinny phones are 
reset. This is very bad thing, how to avoid this from happening in each reload? 
Even if the reload will be done to take sip configuration !! 


2) The line tone that is heared (the normal too tone which is heared 
when picking up the handset to place a call), now: while dialing the digits, I 
stay hear the tooo !!! It start ringing at the destination and I am 
still hearing the too, the destination answer the call and I am 
still hearing the t. 

How to resolve this?

Please note that currently I am not giving the Phone any files from the TFTP, I 
just give the Phone the TFTP IP address (which takes it from the DHCP option) 
and it come to asterisk and register.

I am able to call the extension of this Phone and it rings, but when pickup the 
handset to answer the call, I just hear t even the caller with me 
in the line and he is saying Hellooo but at Cisco Skinny Phone, I do not hear 
his voice, I just hear the to.

Appreciate the kindly help.
Regards
Bilal

 Cisco has changed the file name format a few times, so
you may want to copy xmlDefault.CNF.XML to XMLDefault.cnf.xml

The more important steps is how have you configured the phone
to locate the TFTP server?  Are you using option 150 in DHCP, or
manually setting the TFTP server address on the phone.

Technically you do not need a TFTP server, since the Skinny phones
will try to use the TFTP server address for registration, so you
can just set that address to point to your asterisk server. A TFTP
server is needed if you want custom ringtones or to manage software
updates.

For small setups or my home, I skipped setting up the TFTP server
until I wanted to update the phone firmware.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[bilal ghayyad]

Dears;

OK, I start beleive that the problem in the TFTP and the files that I placed 
there.

Now, I am using the Phone as skinny, and the files that are placed in the 
directory /var/lib/tftpboot/ as following:

CTLSEPB8BEBF22AB62.tlv
SEPB8BEBF22AB62.cnf.xml
XMLDefault.cnf.xml

Well, actually the CTLSEPB8BEBF22AB62.tlv is totally empty, so should I place 
any thing in it? Anyone has a format for the file CTLSEPB8BEBF22AB62.tlv?

Also, what do I miss other files that the Phone needs it?

>From the other side, what should do about the chown and the chmod for the 
>directory tftpboot? 

Appreciate the kindly help and advise.
Regards
Bilal

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[Robert-iPhone]

I also had trouble w/ these phones at first. There was a DHCP option (?81?) 
you'll have to google it.
The phones would not talk to tftp until I set dhcp option.
The console aux cable is easy to build and VERY useful

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[Mark Engelhardt]

Bilal,

I suggest you turn on logging on your tftp server to see what files are 
actually being requested, and if the the tftp server is dishing them out... Try 
adding a few v's to your tftp setup:

File: /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
Line to change: server_args = -s /tftpboot -v -v -v

Look in /var/log/messages for the output. 

Also, I believe your 7942G has a console/aux port which is a serial port, you 
can learn what is happening as the phone boots up with that too. 

Good Luck! 

Mark

tcpdump will show you if the tftp configuration is working.

Re: [asterisk-users] Cisco IP Phones and Skinny in asterisk

[bilal ghayyad]

Dears;

The Asterisk version is 1.8.3.2

The Cisco IP Phone is 7942G and it is running now skinny.

The used TFTP is tftp-server which is installed in fedora.

I placed the following two files (but look like it was not taken from the TFTP, 
as nothing appeared in the messages), but I am able to to ping from the 
asterisk box to the vlan that the Phone is connected, so no problem in the 
reachability:


SEPB8BEBF22AB62.cnf.xml
xmlDefault.CNF.XML

Are the files name correct? Or the Cisco IP Phone 7942G are not working fine 
with Asterisk or the tftp-server?

Regards
Bilal

SCCP works better than SIP in my opinion as there are more features.
