[Asterisk-Users] RE: Convert Cisco 7960 to sip

[Bryan Vyhmeister]

I had this problem with 7.1 initially because there are two different 
filename schemes for 7.1. One is P003-07-1-00 which should be listed in 
the file OS79XX.TXT on the tftp server and also P0S3-07-1-00 which 
should be in SIPDefault.cnf on the tftp server as follows:

image_version: P0S3-07-1-00

I had trouble with the Universal Application Loader rebooting endlessly 
because I had P003-07-1-00 listed in both OS79XX.TXT and SIPDefault.cnf. 
This behavior differs from versions of the SIP software prior to 7. Once 
I corrected SIPDefault.cnf to have P0S3-07-1-00 everything worked fine.

As I recall, the sequence for loading the files is the following. First, 
P003-07-1-00.sbn is loaded into the phone as the SIP firmware. This 
provides the Universal Application Firmware. When the phone boots it 
then looks for P0S3-07-1-00.sb2 and P0S3-07-1-00.loads which actually 
loads the rest of the software for using the phone. I am not sure if the 
.sb2 or .loads file is loaded first although I do know that 
P0S3-07-1-00.loads is briefly mentioned in the startup messages on the 
phone itself.
