[asterisk-users] HELP! I can't get my Cisco CP-7960G IP hardphone to register on my Asterisk VoIP IP PBX SIP Server with FreePBX GUI

[Duncan Turnbull]

Hi there

I would normally highlight the part but the email is so long I thought I 
would just note what I can see

It appears the Cisco is downloading files.
None of the SIP traces show the IP of the phone of the extension

Your proxy is at 192.168.1.9
Your phone is at 192.168.1.130

These are the details you want the phone to pickup
line1_name: "1600"
line1_shortname: "TEO EN MING"
line1_displayname: "TURRITOPSIS DOHRNII TEO EN MING"
line1_authname: "1600"
line1_password: "IP Phone Extension Password"

  I don't see any registration attempts from your phone.

The first thing is to use the phone screen display to check if it 
actually has picked up the settings.
To unlock the Cisco SIP IP phone, press **#

You can also telnet to the phone usually cisco as password, and look at 
logs. Its quite possible some of your config files are not quite right. 
If they were all wrong the Cisco would keep trying to TFTP the files.

This is an old SIPDefault.cnf I used to use in NZ

=================================================

I would then recommend tcpdump to monitor traffic coming from 
192.168.1.130  Tcpdump is an important tool to learn to use and you can 
look at all traffic coming from the phone, perhaps its using TCP instead 
of UDP?

Have you got a copy of the Cisco SIP IP Phone 7960 Administrator Guide - 
it should be on the web somewhere

Good luck, it will take a little time to get familiar with your 
environment but its important to put the time in to work out what means 
what
