[Asterisk-Users] Has anyone connected to 7960 withconsolecablefor setup?

[Jon Bebeau]

Randy,

Same problem here once (or more).  I ended up using TFTP to load a new 
image.  The pone I got was programmed for non-SIP.  I went into config and 
found the TFTP IP, set up a tftp server to load a new config at boot.  Be 
sure your not trying to load too high a version.  SIP 7.x WON'T load 
directly into a much lower firmware version.  I needed to do a two step 
method.  First load a 6.0 image, then the 7.x image.  A actually used my 
laptop as the tftp server as I can change the IP addr at will without out 
screwing up the rest of my asterisk net.

Jon
