Troubleshooting the SEP files

The 7960 and 7940 SEP files are not the same as the 7970/7971/7980 phones
The 7970 does work with a properly formated SEP config file.SEP7970 Sample The 7970/7961 does not need the OS79XX.TXT in the tftp folder.
The 7970 backlight can be controled turned on and off via the SEP file.
The 79XX phones do not work well with any XML errors in their config files
To upgrade the firmware, most of the phones can be updated by changing the load version in the SEP file.

Firmware

supported firmware version for the 7940/7960 is 7.2.3, 7.2.4, 8.0.3, 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 – 01.12.2009.

Why would I use chan_sccp?

Here are some *good* reasons to use this channel:
o It’s native – that is what the phone hw was build for

o It’s a lot faster than the SIP image (look at the response times!)
o The sound quality is significantly better with the SCCP image
(try e.g. the CTU24raw.raw ringtone on SIP and on SCCP image)
o It has more features (XML is fully working)
o It’s possible to administer SCCP phones centrally
no loss of speeddials, etc… after fw update

Customizing the sccp phone

Phone Logo
For a logo to display on the main screen of the phone, add the logo url in the SEPXXXXXXXXX file.
The format of this file is an xml file that follows the 7960 picture format. Here is a sample:

<?
header(“Content-type: text/xml”);
header(“Expires: -1”);
header(“Connection: Keep-Alive”);
header(“Cache-Control: private”);

?><CiscoIPPhoneImage>
<LocationX>-1</LocationX>
<LocationY>-1</LocationY>
<Width>90</Width>
<Height>56</Height>
<Depth>2</Depth>
<Data>Data of the picture</Data>
<Title>Your Title</Title>
<Prompt>Your prompt</Prompt>
</CiscoIPPhoneImage>

Here is the line from the SEP file:
<idleURL>http://10.x.x.x/voip-idle.php</idleURL>
And then you can set the time it waits to show it, setting it to 0 likely will not work:
<idleTimeout>10</idleTimeout>
There is a dos exe available from cisco that you can use to create the data portion of the picture.
