hi all
since i saw come confused people in chat and on the list, i will provide you
a little bit of help.
first of all, to get registered at inoc-dba look to the attachement i got.
fill in the form and send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it might take some days
until you get all the informations/access to it.
in the meantime you can upgrade your cisco 7960 ip phone:
upgrade procedure
-----------------
since you have something around version 3.3 on your phone, the goal is to
reach 7.2 ,-)
and since your ip phone is on 'skinny'-mode (which uses cisco callmanager)
it's not able to 'talk' in SIP mode.
you cannot run skinny and SIP mode at the same time.
cisco published this help to us:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_tech_note09186a0080
094584.shtml
first of all, you have to download the right firmware for the ip phone (you
need a valid, non-guest CCO account).
www.cisco.com (then login)
-> software -> voice software
then look for 'Cisco IP Phones' -> SIP IP Phone 7940/7960
(or click here: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/sip-ip-)
you need to download the following 2 firmwares:
P0S3-06-3-00.zip (SIP Flash Image 7940/7960 IP Phone)
and
P0S3-07-2-00.zip (SIP Flash Image 7940/7960 IP Phone)
since you cannot go directly to 7.2 you have also to use 6.3.
when you have the 6.3 image, unpack it to the root of your TFTP server.
you see then 2 files:
487198 Mar 8 16:11 P0S3-06-3-00.sbn
860626 Aug 24 10:22 P0S3-06-3-00.zip
you have to create a 'OS79XX.TXT' file:
echo "P0S3-06-3-00" > OS79XX.TXT
leave this file also in the root of your TFTP server.
then back to your phone.
if you have a DHCP server running (from which your phone is picking up an IP
address) check if you can enter a 'tftp' server entry.
if your DHCP server is not able, to provide TFTP informations, you have to
switch your phone to manual-ip settings.
see: "Manually Configuring the Phone Network Settings" on:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk701/technologies_tech_note09186a0080
094584.shtml
if everything is up and running, you can restart your ip phone (powercycle).
you should see some activity on leds (headset, mute, speaker) and a message
like 'Upgrading Software' or so...
if you check the firmware (-> settings -> status -> firmware) you should see
something like P0S3-06-3-00.
then do the same with the 7.2 firmware (unpack, check OS79XX.TXT, etc...).
you are done, you should see: Application Load ID (=Firmware Version)
P0S3-07-2-00.
if this is done, you can go on, enhancing your ip phone with some fancy
configuration options.
configuring your ip phone
-------------------------
first: don't do this manually on your phone. you loose too much time and
since you have a running tftp server, you can just put your configs there...
maybe you downloaded on the cisco-firmware site also the 2 files (sorry,
didn't mentioned it up there *gg*):
SIPmacaddress.cnf (Generic Phone Specific SIPmacaddress.cnf File)
SIPDefault.cnf (Generic SIPDefault.cnf Configuration File)
lets have a look to SIPDefault.cnf:
-----------------------------------
cisco has a good overview in explaining all options:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/sw/voicesw/ps2156/products_admi
nistration_guide_chapter09186a00801d1977.html
since, i'm not publishing the whole file, i just give you some options.
you should have in it for sure:
# Image Version
image_version: P0S3-07-2-00
# Proxy Registration (0-disable (default), 1-enable)
proxy_register: 1
--> this means, that the ip phone registers itself automatically to the SIP
gateway.
# Configurable VAD option
enable_vad: 0 ; VAD setting 0-disable (Default), 1-enable
# Telnet Level (enable or disable the ability to telnet into the phone)
telnet_level: 2 ; 0-Disabled (default), 1-Enabled,
2-Privileged
--> if you want to check your phone with telnet. you can change almost
nothing, but reboot ;-)
# XML URLs
services_url: "http://ipphone.swinog.ch"; ; URL for external Phone Services
--> thanks pascal for providing this tool ;-)
# Remote Party ID
remote_party_id: 1 ; 0-Disabled (default), 1-Enabled
--> if this is on enabled, your phone might crash/shows nothing on accessing
the services_url ;-(
autocomplete : 0
--> turn this on and get crazy on typing some numbers...
if you have your phone on a NAT router/fw, you have also to take a look on
nat_enable, nat_address, etc. (dont forget to make some rules, that at least
5060 is passed to your phone).
let's have a look to SIP<macaddress>.cnf:
-----------------------------------------
all entries in the SIPDefault.cnf can be overritten with a specified config
for a single phone.
to get your macaddress: look under your phone or press -> settings ->
network setup -> mac address.
if you phone has the mac address: 0011:92bb:1234 the filename should be:
SIP001192BB1234.cnf
i've got this on my personal config file:
Image_version: P0S3-07-2-00
phone_label: "Steven's Work Phone "
phone_password: "1234" ; (if you want to telnet to it)
and then, you have to enter your informations which you got from inoc-dba
(since i doesn't got them yet, i have to guess them, maybe already
registered users can help here)
line1_authname: 1234*745 <-- 1234 = your ASn, 745 = your extension
(=SGL in
my case)
line1_displayname: "Steven Glogger" <-- this is, what will be displayed on
other phones
line1_name: 1234*745 <-- same as authname
line1_password: blabla <-- your password, if any?
line1_shortname: 1234*745
line2_authname: 1234
line2_displayname: "Steven Glogger"
line2_name: 1234
line2_password: blabla
line2_shortname: 1234
--------------
so, then reboot the ip phone (either power-cycle OR press at once: * 6
settings).
if you did well you should have a working ip phone. press 'services' and
enter your data.

and of course: www.google.com (just joking *g*)
if you need some help, just drop a mail to the list or visit the chat
(#swinog on irc.swinog.ch).
so, and now i stop bothering you all ;-)
greetings & gn8 ;-)

If you represent multiple companies, we suggest that you use an account not related
to any of your employers so that we may accurately continue communications with you in

queries and updates to your email address. If you would

--- Configuration of 79xx Phones --
We currently will support and auto-configure Cisco 7960 and 7940 phones, but of course
any SIP-compliant phone will work and you are welcome to use any SIP gateway or UA
with the INOC-DBA systems. If you choose to have us configure your phone, you will
need to supply us with information below. You would then configure your phone's IP
address and set the tftp server
to "inoc-dba.pch.net" and a complete configuration would be downloaded into your
deskset.
#MAC ADDRESS OF YOUR CISCO 7960 OR 7940:
If you have your own phone and wish to use it for INOC-DBA purposes, we will create
the appropriate configuration files in the tftp server located on "inoc-dba.pch.net".
#EXTERNAL NAT ADDRESS:
If you are behind a NAT and are using the configurations we build for you, we can try
to make NAT translations seamless. (ha!) The "External NAT Address" is the address
from which your phone appears on a publicly-routed IP address. Note that you must
appear from the _same_ IP address every time your deskset sends packets to the outside
world.
