I have install * and gotten it to work properly with some SIP phones I have. I am new to linux and using Debian. I got the 7905 to register properly, but skinny does not recognize the type as 7905.

When asterisk registers the phone, it uses the 12sp type with 7905 in parens (7905).

Once the phone is registered it recognizes it going offhook, but the when I press digits nothing happens.
I assume this is because it thinks its a 12sp.

Im assuming an image or firmware has to go somewhere on the computer so the phone can get the information.
I set up a TFTP server and put CP7905080001SCCP051117A.sbin on it with no luck. * still says 12sp.

How do you get * to recognize the phone as a 7905???
(I need to use this as skinny and NOT sip)

I also tried to DL and install chan_sccp-20060408 but got an error that there is no /usr/include/asterisk.
I created that directory, and when I do the make install I get nothing but errors.
I used apt-get install asterisk to install *, and cant find a chan_sccp apt-get (which would be ideal)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm setting up my first *, and have 3 Cisco phones to play with. I upgraded an 7905 to SIP, I upgraded an 7912 to SIP, and both were up and running fairly quickly.

However, I also want to use Cisco phones in SCCP modus, but I couldn't get it working.
I used th prserv tool, tcpdump, logfiles and the like, and finally I made things work.

What needs to be done:

1) In modules.conf, I explicitly loaded th skinny module:
section: global
chan_modem.so=yes
chan_skinny.so=yes

2) In skinny.conf, I changed in section: general the bind to IP-address from 0.0.0.0 to the real IP of the asterisk server

3) I restarted Asterisk

Now you should be able to:

telnet (ip address of Asterisk) 2000

Do not use 127.0.0.1, as this is localhost, and the phone cannot connect to it!
Do not use it in the telnet command either, as asterisk is not listening to this IP!
You should get connected (type ctrl-] and q to disconnect)

If you did all this, you will see a success in the prserv tool

Within asterisk, you can do a: skinny show lines
an d it'll show you the phone!

HTH,

hello,
I have ip phone 7910 and this download file of tftp server, but no register with asterisk server.
the phone send SYN to the asterisk, but asterisk send RST,SYN.
how to open port 2000?
with iptables??
what is the problem?

I have some VIP 30's and have recently discovered Asterisk. I am looking for any info on how to set them up useing Asterisk- I do not have Cisco's Call Manager. What do I need to have the phone TFTP? what else is needed? Thanks.

..Erik

whats the format for this file ?

This is the information I got from Narem. I thought it might help someone.
Thanks Narem
Hi Frank,

I had to download the latest source from CVS and
build. The following link shows how to configure the
phone manually specifying the IP address manually.
Set the Gateway, and TFTP to be the Asterisk server's
IP address.

http://www.cisco.com/documentation/ccn/v22/phone_dhcp_disable.htm

Here is the entry from skinny.conf

ciscovip1
device=SEPXXXXXXXXXXX ;; Replace XX with MAC addr.
version=P002F202 ;; This should match the verion
context=default
line => 100

I had to restart Asterisk for successful registration
for the first time.
