[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960s and skinny

[Andy Hamilton]

Yusuf:

This should be a functioning /etc/asterisk/sccp.conf :
==================
[general]
keepalive = 70
context = default
dateFormat = Y-M-D      ; M-D-Y in any order (5 chars max)
bindaddr = 192.168.1.167; replace 1.2.3.4 with the ip address of the
asterisk box.
port = 2000		; listen on port 2000 (Skinny, default)

[SEP000123456789]
; This device is a 7910, a single line model
; from cisco.
type        = 7910
autologin   = 524
description = 7910

[524]
id	= 	524
pin	= 	524
label = South Lobby
==================

Here is my /tftpboot/XMLDefault.cnf.xml file.
I'm not sure if the 7910 actually gets any useful information from it
(at least in the case of Asterisk as the CM). I do not have a
SEP000123456789.cnf file or anything like that: I did at one point and
it would cause the phone to not boot, if I recall correctly.

</Default>
==================

And, of course, here is a snippet from my /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf:
==================
[default]
exten = 524,1,SetCalledParty("South Lobby" <${EXTEN}>)
exten = 524,2,Dial(SCCP/524,30,Ttr) ; You may want to change some of
these options
exten = 524,3,Hangup
==================

Hope that helps. Lemme know if you need anything else.
