If you have an auto-provisioning script, the phone will be fully usable in the same amount of time. It flashes itself without any intervention from the user in about 10 minutes.
#Cisco 7960 firmware download download
It's really so easy: download the SIP firmware from Cisco with your smartnet plan, add the next-server option to DHCP to point to your TFTP server, point to the SIP image you are using in a specific text file on the TFTP server, plug the phone in. I too read the articles and posts about people having negative experiences re-flashing Cisco phones with the SIP firmware and I have to say that I have nothing but good things to say about the experience so far. These features are compatible with either phone. I should note that although we do have several of the 7975G-GE (5?) we have mostly 7941G-GE (~70). People really, really like having these right on the phone. We also put the weather and a real-time list of takeout and delivery restaurants in the menu (pulled from a yellow pages website). So rather than checking the paper company directory when you need to see what someone's official title, cell phone, home phone or office extension number are, you just press the services button and it's right there. We were able to pull all of our company contact info directly out of AD, XMLifey it and push it out to the phone. The services button is where it gets really cool: these phones have psuedo 'web-browsers' that download an XML file containing just about anything and put it up on the display. The tagged VLAN is for the phone, the untagged VLAN is for the computer. We have tried it both on Cisco and HP switches with no problems on either. The VLANing/built-in switch also works out of the box. Calling, multi-line functionality, dial plans, n-way locally mixed conference calling, music on hold, etc. The desktop dialing function took a little tweaking since we're obviously not using Call Manager but users can dial their phone from the same portal in which they can check other users on-line status.Īll of the call related features of the Cisco work out of the box with an Asterisk PBX. In order to get around this, we wrote some scripts to periodically poll Asterisk regarding who is on the phone and then display that information from a web page.Ĭisco Call Manager touts 'Desktop Dialing' as a big feature and this is something that we were very interested in getting to work. The Ciscos can supposedly handle this as well but the BLF is the one feature on the Ciscos that we have not been able to get working yet. They do have the advantage of having the BLF work with Asterisk out of the box (busy lamp field, little light next to a speed dial that tells you if someone is on the phone). We didn't look into the Polycoms at all as a desk phone. We put the kibosh on Aastra phones within an hour of opening the first demo model. When I unboxed the Aastra and demoed it to some folks here, they almost unanimously thought that it looked and felt 'like a toy'.

Only options are to use a SCCP firmware load or upgrade to a newer phone model.We too considered the Aastra line when we were initally evaluating our options. Unfortunately these models just do not have the capabilities (mostly memory) to add any additional features, and development for them is end-of-life. This seems to be a problem because these services are deployed on 7960 with sip firmware installed and custom softkeys are essential.ĭo you know if any upgrades of sip firmware resolve this issue? or any alternative solutions? The main features missing are CiscoIPPhoneExecute and custom soft keys, there are a few others - the feature set is consistent with what is documented in the ' 3.0 IPPS Application Development Notes ' here:

Maybe sip firmware doesn't support this kind of xml object? I've noticed that the problem is due to softkeys added in theĬode of new services and removing softkeys services run well. I try to use these new services I receive an xml parse error from the I've updated a Cisco 7960 with sip firmware and deployed to it new custom services. I have no idea if it's right to post here my thread, anyway I try to post my question. This document was generated from CDN threadĬreated by: Gionata Navarra on 13-10-2010 09:29:23 AM
