Asterisk 11.5 - Having issues with BLF on Cisco phones

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hello all,

I’ve been Googling around on this for quite a while, and I’m still not having luck getting BLFs to work on my Cisco devices. From everywhere I’ve seen, I’ve got everything set up, but there are no subscriptions listed when I do sip show subscriptions, and obviously no BLFs.

Background:
Running Asterisk 11.5.1 on a 64-bit Debian system, patched using the gareth-11.5.0.patch (modified to support 11.5.1).
The two devices I’m testing against are a Cisco 7975 running SIP75.9-3-1SR2-1S, and a Cisco 7970 running SIP70.9-2-1S. I also have a 7961 which is not currently part of this test.

Relevant parts of my sip.conf:

[code][general]
externhost = [my externhost]
externrefresh = 10
localnet = 10.0.0.0/255.255.240.0
buggymwi = yes
callerid = unknown
alwaysauthreject = yes
nat = no
registerattempts = 0
registertimeout = 20
allowguest = no
tcpenable = yes
tcpbindaddr = 10.0.8.89
udpbindaddr = 10.0.8.89
callcounter = yes
allowsubscribe = yes
notifyringing = yes
limitonpeer = yes
notifyhold = yes

[csyria-cisco-bed]
secret = [my secret]
type = friend
transfer = yes
mailbox = 1701@home
context = chris-ext
host = dynamic
dtmfmode = rfc2833
callerid = Bedroom<1701>
nat = no
transport = tcp
disallow = all
allow = g722
allow = ulaw

[7970test]
secret = [another secret]
type = friend
transfer = yes
mailbox = 1801@home
context = chris-ext
host = dynamic
dtmfmode = rfc2833
callerid = 7970test<1911>
nat = no
transport = tcp
[/code]

Relevant part of extensions.conf:

[default] exten => 1701,hint,SIP/csyria-cisco-bed exten => 1911,hint,SIP/7970test

Output of core show hints:

[code]csyria-asterisk-vm01*CLI> core show hints

               1911@default             : SIP/7970test          State:Idle            Watchers  0
               1000@demo                : SIP/1000              State:Unavailable     Watchers  0

               1701@default             : SIP/csyria-cisco-bed  State:Idle            Watchers  0
  • 5 hints registered
    [/code]
    (yes, I need to kill the demo apps still).
    These states do change (InUse, Ringing, etc) when I make calls from the phones.

Output of sip show subscriptions:

csyria-asterisk-vm01*CLI> sip show subscriptions Peer User Call ID Extension Last state Type Mailbox Expiry 0 active SIP subscriptions

Line config for the 7975:

<line button="4"> <featureID>21</featureID> <featureLabel>7970test</featureLabel> <speedDialNumber>1911</speedDialNumber> <featureOptionMask>1</featureOptionMask> </line>

Line config for the 7970:

<line button="4"> <featureID>21</featureID> <featureLabel>csyria-bed</featureLabel> <speedDialNumber>1701</speedDialNumber> <featureOptionMask>1</featureOptionMask> </line>

I know I must just be missing something that’s keeping this from working. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!
