[asterisk-users] Take 3 -- Trying to get SIP firmware on a 7970G

[Jason Lixfeld]

Ok, this is the 3rd RMA replacement I've gotten from Cisco.  None of  
the phones were bad, but I have been trying to upgrade them to SIP  
firmware from Skinny and I've always managed to turn them into  
doorstops because I've factory reset them and afterwards realize I  
can't do anything with them unless I have Call Manager to restore the  
firmware (or so Cisco says).

So, I just powered on the latest replacement, checked the firmware in  
the settings menu, and it appears to have be using 5.0.3.0S Skinny  
code on it (Load File: TERM70.5-0-3-0S).

Checking in the TFTP logs (using utftpd from FreeBSD Ports) after the  
phone boots and gets an IP from DHDP,and sure enough, it's looking  
for the SEP<MAC>.cnf.xml file as expected, but it doesn't download it:

==> /var/log/tftpd.log <==

This file *DOES* actually exist and *IS* readable by the TFTP server:

[root at bubbles /tftpboot]# file /tftpboot/SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml
/tftpboot/SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml: ASCII text
[root at bubbles /tftpboot]# wc -l /tftpboot/SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml
      229 /tftpboot/SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml
[[root at bubbles /tftpboot]# ls -al /tftpboot/SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  7644 Sep 10 11:32 /tftpboot/ 
SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml
[root at bubbles /tftpboot]#

The SEP<MAC>.xml.cnf file does include the tags for the SIP code:

<[root at bubbles /tftpboot]# grep loadInformation /tftpboot/ 
SEP00131A4D39F4.cnf.xml
<loadInformation>SIP70.8-0-2SR1S</loadInformation>
[root at bubbles /tftpboot]#

Even though the phone isn't asking for it, I've also verified the / 
tftpboot/XMLDefault.cnf.xml file:

[root at bubbles /tftpboot]# more XMLDefault.cnf.xml
<Default>
<callManagerGroup>

The firmware exists as well.  I've verified it a gazillion times:

[root at bubbles /tftpboot]# tar -zxvf cmterm-7970_7971-sip.8-0-2SR1.cop
x SIP70.8-0-2SR1S.loads

I'm stumped.  I seem to be doing everything the wiki is telling me  
to, but I'm obviously dense and missing something somewhere.

Anyone have any ideas here?
