I recently revived an old Cisco phone model CP-7940 and encountered difficulties when attempting to connect it to our FreePBX server. Unlike our other phones, such as the GrandStream models, the CP-7940 is failing to register with FreePBX. Despite verifying the correctness of the configuration, I haven’t observed any registration attempts from the device in the server logs.
I would greatly appreciate assistance in resolving this issue. If anyone has insights or suggestions on how to troubleshoot and rectify this registration problem with the Cisco CP-7940, your expertise would be invaluable.
Did you create a pjsip or a chan_sip extension? In either case, note that the 7940 uses TCP transport. Did you enable that and set the TCP listen/bind port to match what the phone is using?
If the above is correct and nothing appears in the Asterisk log, use tcpdump to check for connection attempts from the phone. If nothing there, either, capture traffic at the phone and check for outbound TCP connection attempt to the correct IP address and port.
Thank you for your response. Enabling TCP in the PJSIP settings has resolved the issue for one phone, but unfortunately not for the second one.
Could you please review this brief log and advise on its implications? I’ve been troubleshooting diligently but haven’t yet identified a solution for this persistent problem.
