<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>I have been trying to get the 7970 (running SIP firmware) to display presence information about other extensions. Thus far, I have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have BLF working on the SIP-loaded 7941/7961/7970/7971? I have been using the following as a guide for my work:</DIV>

<DIV><A href="http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Presence+for+Cisco+79x1+Phones">http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Presence+for+Cisco+79x1+Phones</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have successfully implemented every step (although there are a few minor errors in the code on that page that I have corrected) except for the part where the 7970 has to connect to Asterisk via SIP/TCP. I have chan_sip.c patched with the SIP/TCP patch to allow for connectivity, but I cannot seem to force the 7970 to connect that way.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have read several posts that indicated that the SIP firmware does not support presence information as of yet, but supposedly, whoever wrote that article above has it working somehow.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone know how to make the phone connect over TCP? Or, better yet, does anyone have a working method that they would be willing to share? These are great phones but in the environment that we're in they are almost useless if we don't know who's on a call when. I'd rather not go the SCCP route unless I absolutely have to.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks!</DIV></div></body></html>
