Cisco 7940G Newbie help -

I have been able to set up freepbx on a raspberry pi with no issue ia able to make internal calls from my pc and iPhone to test out extensions and it works great.

My issue is when i try and connect my Cisco 7940G phone to network

I am able to get the phone to connect with no issue but i cant dial or receive calls like i can with the other extensions

i have upgraded the phones to the latest SIP firmware

I cant include my SIPDefault, SIP00XX.cnf or my asterisk log - how can i do that says new users cant post links

You have downgraded the phone from SCCP to SIP. The SIP image has a lot of problems because the phone just doesn’t have the computing horsepower to do a real, full SIP implementation.

The typical problem here is that the password is too long for the phone. Twelve characters is a pretty common “OK” length, but without looking at the server logs, there’s no way to know.

You need to check the /var/log/asterisk/full log file to see what issue you are actually having. There are several things in your configuration that look hinky. For example, your preferred codec is “none”, which I’m pretty sure is wrong - you need a codec.

Check out the log files and let us know what problem the server is seeing - we can help you from there.

Hi ,

I added a codec to the config and also made the password the same as the extension - its just for testing inhouse so thats fine with me for now.  Thanks !!! Gio 

here is my SIPXXXX.cnf

line1_name: "302"
line1_shortname: "Office"
line1_displayname: "302"
line1_authname: "302"
line1_password: "302"
preferred_codec: g711ulaw


here is what happens when i tail the log file and try to make a call internally ( i notice that there is a space after the @ symbol in my to address. )

Good to hear from a fellow traveller…I am playing around with Cisco7960G and rasPBX as well. The good news is that Cisco79XX phones do work. I have had long passwords (longer than what you have) on these phones running SIP without any issues.

Probably you have got this right but anyway make sure that your proxy port is 5160 not 5060 if you are using chan_sip definitions for the handsets as the default for chan_sip is 5160 and pjsip is 5060 unless you have already changed them on Asterisk SIP settings. Does the phone show that it has registered with rasPBX?

Which version of SIP are you running on your phones? I am running pos3-8-12-00 and I read somewhere that SIP is buggy with later versions.
