Cisco CP-8831 phone and Asterisk

Dear all,

I need to register the Cisco Unified IP Conference Phone 8831 phone (cisco.com/c/en/us/products/c … 26887.html) with our Asterisk server (version 1.8.20.0).

The preloaded firmware in the said phone is SIP enabled and I managed to get the CNF.XML for this specific phone model from a different Cisco Unified CM server. Since I can’t attach a file to this post I will paste the contents into the second post - can someone point me which options I need to set for the phone to register at our Asterisk installation?

Basically I need to set the following:

  1. IP of the Asterisk sever (sipIpAddr1 in the XML?)
  2. Login (userId in the XML?)
  3. Password-secret (can’t find this in the XML - maybe PhonePassword?)

Ports are SIP default.

Thanks in advance to all for your help, I spent the last week trying to figure this out but nothing :frowning:

PS: The phone itself doesen’t have a WebUI where you can set anything - only info about current status. Thus, the only way to get the XML config is from an existing CUCM server installation - terrible solution by Cisco…!

Contents of the XML configuration file for the CP-8831:

UPDATE - Still no go… tried messing around with the settings - after maybe 50 TFTP uploads with different settings… still no connection - the phone doesen’t even try to connect to Asterisk (nothing in the Asterisk CLI log)

HEEEEEELP PLEASE

Did you change “nat”=“No” in the extension setting?
