You need to create a sip configuration file. That file is named SIP.cfg and should reside in your tftp root directory. A minimal file will have the following:
I am also trying to get a 7970 working on *. I got the firmware loaded but the phone just sits there ?registering?. I think I may have a firewall issue?
I could be wrong but I am pretty sure you don?t need a SIP for the 7970?s, but a SEP.cnf.xml instead.
When you say the phone refuses to read the configuration file, what exactly to you mean? Is the SEP.cnf.xml not getting loaded to the phone, or is the problem that it is not registering?
I don’t think you need the CTLSEP file to get this working. The CTL has something to do with security certificates. From Cisco.com:
?The CTLSEP MAC file is the first file requested in the universal application loader, followed by the additional six configuration files in the hunt algorithm defined in the “Universal Application Loader” section. If the CTLSEP MAC file is present, the phone proceeds with additional security actions regarding phone and server communication; if the CTLSEP MAC file is not present or is empty, the phone proceeds in nonsecure mode with the hunt algorithm.?

Can you guys help me with the 7970 SIP firmware? I have been looking for it everywhere even on cisco but cannot get it. You can send me the files at fayawire@gmail.com I will very much appreciate it. Thanx.
I tried to upgrade a Cisco 7970 to Sip 8.0.3 from the default firmware. Following some advice I factory reset the phone first. Upon reboot the phone does see the tftp server (using solarwinds tftp) and starts to download the firmware files in the following order:
It fails on the apps.xxxx.sbn at 81% complete. I ran a packet sniffer and the phone seems to indicate a write error (any ideas???)
Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking that because I did a factory reset it is looking for a sccp load and is getting screwed up b/c I’ve got a sip firmware in the tftp server. Thoughts???
on older 7970s it can’t upgrade to an 8.x firmware from a factory reset. you’ll have to upgrade first to a 3 file firmware set and then upgrade to 8.x. I’ve used 6.x sccp firmware successfully in your scenario before.
