If the above is a copy/paste, then remove the quotes. Format should
be like this: line1_authname: 1234
Quotes can be used in displayname and shortname.

Try removing auth=md5; not sure the 7940 supports it (never tried it).

If you want the above definitions to fit a specific context, then add:
 context=from-sip
or whatever extensions.conf context you'd like. The above definitions
assume a default context which might not be all that obvious later
when you're playing with other functions. The rest of the definitions
in the above are fine.

Try 'sip show peers' from the CLI. You should see something like:

phoenix*CLI> sip show peers
Name/username              Host            Dyn Nat ACL Port     Status
3000/3000                  206.222.193.90   D          5060     Unmonitored

when the phone successfully registers.

If you see something like this:
Name/username              Host            Dyn Nat ACL Port     Status
3050/3050                  (Unspecified)    D          0        Unmonitored

the registration process is a problem.
