[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960 + SIP

[Paul Cheng]

Hi Shaun and anyone else looking for Cisco images,

I don't know what the support contract would cost on a 7960 for the 
Cisco TAC, but for the ATA186 it's a great, big $8/year. This gives you 
access to the Cisco TAC, images, and support team which do a fantastic 
job of follow-through.

So I would recommend calling them and asking about the support contract 
for your particular phone.

If you're too cheap to pay the fees, you can always find a service 
provider that supports the device and do a tftp cross-grade, upgrade, 
etc. of the firmware. iConnect, Nikotel, etc all support the ATAs, but 
not the 7960s.

The only catch is if you bought the device second-hand. Then there is 
the chance that your device is ineligible for support.
