333Cisco 7911G Configure
I have a Cisco 7911 with SIP11.8-3-1S firmware installed. I can access the Information page by simply typing in the IP Address of the phone into my web brower. I would like to configure the SIP settings on the phone - can this be done via a web interface. If so what is the URL what I would need to type in ?
Many thanks in advance.

333Re: VOIP Gateway
333VOIP Gateway
I'm new to VOIP and wondering what equipment is needed to do so. What I have proposed so far is that we have a VOIP capable switch with Poe, PoE VOIP phones, a for a gateway I'm going to be building one. I was thinking for the gateway I could build a machine with a quad core processor with about 8 gigs of memory, and a netboarder A101 card. On the box I was planing on installing netboarder express and Yate. Before we get into the configuration please let me know if there is anything that I left out that I may need. Please excuse me if I'm going in the wrong direction. I haven't don't have much experience with networking a VOIP system.
Thanks
