[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960s and skinny

[Anton Krall]

Thank you for the detailed description Andy.

Please let me know how about the specs when you can.

My client has legacy 7610 but I am trying to suggest swithcing to native sip
phones like grandstream or better in order to make everything 100% asterisk
compliant.

Plus, Cisco charging for the sip images and such ($150) doesn’t look good,
for that price you can get some SIP phones.

|I'll be able to get back to you Sunday night about specifics; 
|the phone is not where I am right now. Using chan_sccp, (I 
|think November
|2004 or so CVS Head) I know I can receive calls, place calls, 
|etc. It is a rather low volume phone, so I don't know off hand 
|about specific keys; I'll check those later.
|Additionally, I have not yet tried a new copy from CVS.
|
|Occasionally, I think the chan_sccp driver blips out in 
|Asterisk (it may be the phone; I've had it apart several times 
|because the on/off hook switch membrane is a little sketchy). 
|I have dealt with this by restarting Asterisk. The only other 
|thing I can say right now about the 7910 is that it and my 
|Cisco FastHub don't get along. At all. I have the 7910 plugged 
|into my 7960.
|
|Overall, I would say that if you have a non-critical system 
|and would like to use a 7910, chan_sccp should be able to 
|handle it fine. 
|However, if you budget permits, the 7960 and 7940 phones are 
|quite nice (use SIP with those -- it's far more reliable. I 
|must say, though, that my 7960 has frozen/crashed a handful of 
|time when running the SIP image. That was the phone itself, 
|Asterisk was fine.) I have yet to purchase a 7905 or 7912, but 
|I've played around with some 7912's on a CCM system -- they 
|seem quite nice and I think they take SIP. The 7920 is also 
|nice because it's wireless. However, I don't think Cisco has 
|anything but a Skinny image for it [yet].
|
|I would stick with SIP wherever you can.
