I defined these on the Asterisk server. I entered them on the phone. It says "Acquiring Service" and sits there.  At least it sets the clock on the phone now.

My 9608 has no password/secret in asterisk, could be due to some
problem like you are encountering. Also these phones only work with SIP
over TCP.

sip.conf for my 9608:

[a204]
type=friend
context=204
defaultuser=204
host=dynamic
qualify=yes
nat=yes
disallow=all
allow=alaw
dtmfmode=rfc2833
canreinvite=no
transport=tcp,udp
