[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960s and skinny

[Anton Krall]

Andy

How did the 7910 worked with skinny under *? Did all the keys on the phone
worked? Ive seen sometimes the forward key or something does not fully do
what you would excpect.

What are the drawbacks from using skinny vs sip under *?

|Do you still have that image for the 7960? I bought a 7940 on 
|ebay and it doesn't have the SIP firmware. I can't find it 
|anywhere but Cisco's website and they require that I have an 
|account with them. Did you happen to save that binary file?

|I have had Skinny going on a 7960 (which I then reimaged to 
|SIP). I currently run a 7910 on Skinny (using chan_sccp) and 
|use the aforementioned 7960 simultaneously.
|
|Since you mentioned that you will have 50 phones, I assume you 
|are using them in a business setting.  I would *highly* 
|recommend using SIP, as I have found that the skinny driver is 
|not as reliable as it could be (not criticizing Jan or Julien 
|at all, here).
|
|Reimaging the 50 of them should only take a while (depending 
|on what version of CCM they have at the moment). I reimaged 12 
|phones once for a business and it took less than 30 minutes 
|after I got it going (toying with the phones to get them to 
|take the image, exactly how the config files were to be set 
|up, etc...).
|
|I imagine you could easily get the whole thing done in less 
|than a day (reimaging and config files), then figure out your dialplan.
|
|Then there is the whole issue of writing the config 
|files...but you'd have to do those with Skinny, anyhow.  I 
|think with SIP you'll have much better reliability.
