I agree with
you I wish I had never picked this up but I got it cheap and didn't
realise how big a pain it is. Looks like polycom phones are running
upwards of £200 for a decent model which I can't throw away unless I
could sell on this one.
I tried factory resetting the phone and
letting sipX do it via TFTP but although I can dial internally,
voicemail etc. it doesn't seem to want to dial out by dialplan at all.
Anyone know where to even start debugging this? Is it a case of merging
the logs and using sipviewer?
I could not agree with Tony more. I spent
soooooo much time working with others in 2008 and 2009 working on the
Cisco Plus configurations only to come to the conclusion that Cisco SIP
really isn't standard SIP. There are so many interop issues with their
SIP firmware. It only works right if you use call manager. You should
see all the settings you have to change to get their CUCM "sip trunk" to
work with SipX.
I consider the 7900's the anti-sip.
I
have a site with some cisco gear that we got to work, but I am very
reluctant to touch it.
I think other have some
7960's that they have gotten to work, but as remote phones they are more
problematic if i recall.
i would imagine you have an old dial plan in the
phone that is overriding the standard config. you should try using
sipxconfig to configure the phone for you like any other before
tinkering manually (IMO).
