[asterisk-biz] Cisco 7960 SIP upgrade

[Jim Houser]

Mike,
 
  I am using a 7960 as my desk phone with Asterisk 1.2.26.  It WAS a pain to
upgrade but I found the key was to start at the oldest Cisco SIP firmware
available.  It would not eat any other version until I began from the
beginning.  I have yet to find time to get mine up to date.  I am running
application POS3-03-00, boot load PC030301.  You can find it on Cisco's site
since you have smartnet, (I also buy smartnet for every Cisco phone I will
be using). 
 
  Overall I am VERY impressed.  I have used Grandstream :-(  Aastra :-)
Polycom :-) and Linksys :-) and Avaya :-) phones on Asterisk.  First place
for handset sound quality is a close tie between Polycom, Avaya, and Cisco.
Absolute first place for speaker phone is Polycom.  First place for easy
config is Aastra.  Last place for everything is Grandstream.  :-O
 
Good luck,
Jim

I couldn't figure it out on my own.  I tried to purchase a Smartnet for the
phone, but the original 7960 is not supported.
 
Is it technically possible and if so, what would it cost me to have someone
remote into my network and upgrade my SCCP 7960 to the latest SIP firmware?
