[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79xx series IP phones

[Gary Carr]

Can anyone send me the sip images for the 7960g? I have 2 I want to test but
need them to be sip.



Thanks,


Gary


I've tried a *lot* of phones with Asterisk, and thus far, the Cisco's
are by far the best I've used.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 79xx series IP phones

I got a call from our Cisco rep today saying that they couldn't sell
just phones to anyone because if "my ethernet isn't to exact spec..."
then they won't work at all.  I've read over the Wiki documentation and
it seems that the 79xx series phones work with Asterisk.  They told me
that without a Cisco phone system in place or a Cisco router or switch,
then the ethernet wouldn't work with the phones.  Is this true, or is it

someone just trying to sell me a Cisco system?

I don't see how my use of a Planet or Netgear switch would alter the
spec of my ethernet to cause a IP phone to fail.  Seems far fetched to
me.  I've never had any other problems mixing Cisco equipment with other

product lines.

Does anyone have any knowledge or experience to give me dealing with
Cisco 7902G and 7905G IP phones and getting them to work on a lan with
Asterisk when *not* using other Cisco hardware?

Cheers,

Shawn
