There are 2 different methods for configuring a SIP ready Cisco 7940/7960 to your Switchvox System.

Method 1 - Not recommended

This method is not recommended because of the possibility of configuration resets, and the lack of central management.

...

  • Name: (extension number)

  • Authentication Name: (extension number)

  • Authentication Password: (Common Settings Password)

  • Proxy Address: (IP of your PBX)

  • Proxy Port: 5060

  • Set up a TFTP server with the proper configuration files in place.

  • Verify that your phone is pointing to your TFTP server. To do this, press Menu -> Network Settings -> TFTP Server. Your TFTP Server address should be in this field.

  • To modify the TFTP Server address, scroll down in the Network Settings menu and set the Alternate TFTPsetting to YES. You can then scroll up and modify the TFTP Server address.

  • Be sure that your TFTP server is hosting the Cisco firmware files and configuration files. Look here for details about the required files.

  • The configuration files on your TFTP server will consist of a SIPDefault.cnf file which includes settings to be distributed to all phones, and a SIP_MAC_.cnf (__MAC__ needs to be replaced with the phone's MAC address) file for each phone's unique settings. You should place the DIALPLAN.xml file in the same directory.

  • Modify the SIPDefault.cnf file to replace all instances of the following:

    • YOUR.PBX.IP.ADDRESS

    • YOUR_TIMEZONE

  • Rename SIP__MAC__.cnf to include the MAC address of your specific phone (e.g.,SIP00075006D8AE.cnf). One of these files must exist for each phone.

  • In each phone's cnf file, replace all instances of the following:

    • YOUR_EXTENSION

    • YOUR_EXTENSION_PASSWORD

  • Reboot your phone after any changes to the configuration files.

    • Quick Reboot trick: Press *, 6, and Settings simultaneously.
