Problem with Cisco 7960 and 3CX Callmanager

[EKMouritsen]

Hi

I have had now tried for some time to get some Cisco 7960 to work.

So far i have managed to get them to find and load files from the Tftp, although it doesn't seem like they can find the SIP"MAC-adress".cnf and load this.

Also the phones write up some error messages in the status when i look on the phones, after they have booted.

The files look like this:

********************************

And the errors on the phones are:

E600 REG send failure:
REGISTER
W350 invalid proxy_backup
W351 invalid proxy_emergency
W310 6 Error(s) Parsing:
SIPDefault.cnf
W220 TFTP Error: Not found IP
SIP"MAC-adress".cnf
W250 TFTP Error: Not found
dialplan.xml

***********************************************

I use pumpkin Tftp and i have also noticed that when looking for the SIP"MAC-adress".cnf it requests the file with some wierd signs in front of the file name like ||SIP"MAC-adress".cnf

anyone up for helping out?

First i'd suggest upgrading your firmware to the SIP version of the Cisco 79XX series.
Get it from here: http://ftp.itl.ua/pub/cisco/ip-7900ser/


Now after that is done, try to use the attached configuration files which you will need to modify slightly to match your phone's configuration. You will need to change the MAC Address specified in the file's name to the one of your phone's and the IP of the PBX server.

Throw them in the TFTP server Folder.
If your phone does not successfully start up, you will most probably have to spend quite a few hours googling to find the correct configuration of these phones or hope a good Samaritan will show up with the correct config for this phone.

When you decide that this phone is no longer worth the effort and you cannot take it anymore i'd suggest you buy a nice 525G series Cisco Phone or anything else that takes but 1 minute to configure.
I know a lot of people have given away their 79XX series simply because of the hell it took them to try and configure them.
Personally it took me a couple of days to get my 7961 running.( Got 2 of em for free from a frustrated admin )
