Need some help configuring Cisco 7970 SIP with Asterisk

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi,

I recently brought a Cisco 7970-G for use with my Asterisk/FreePBX.

The 7970 came with an SCCP Firmware initially, so I flashed it to what I believe the 8.3.0.50 SIP Firmware. I don’t have a Cisco Smartnet contract, so I downloaded the 8.3.0.50 Firmware

In the phone Status/Firmware Versions I see the following ;

  1. Load File : term70.default
  2. App Load ID : Jar70sip.8-3-0-50.sbn
  3. JVM Load ID : cvm70.8-3-0-50.sbn
  4. OS Load ID : cnu70.8-3-0-50.sbn
  5. Boot Load ID : 7970_020706_cert.bin

Initially, I was stuck in a loop when I could see the 7970 was requesting a SEPMAC.tlv file. I created an empty SEPMAC.tlv file and put it in my tftp directory. I have now got past this hurdle and am facing my next.

The issue I am currently facing is the phone is stuck in a loop showing “Configuring IP”

I have read many posts saying how finicky the 7970 is in reading the SEP.cnf.xml file and that the slightest error will abort the whole process.

This is my second day trying to configure my 7970 to connect to FreePBX, so thought I would post here to see if anyone could help.

I have uploaded the contents of my TFTP folder to the following url :

I have also pasted the contents of my SEPMAC.cnf.xml file below…

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

If anyone can help - it would be much appreciated. If you are willing to send me any working configs please send them to richyje@Hotmail.com

Thanks in advance.

I was able to successfully register Cisco 7970 with firmware SIP70.9-3-1SR4-1S(latest as of today) on asterisk 11.10.0 (PIAF 3.0.6.5, FreePBX 2.11.0.37). If anyone needs the SEP(Mac).cnf.xml file then let me know, I’ll upload a copy.
Meanwhile, I am still looking for a way to enable BLF for on the same model. If anyone has a solution, I would appreciate if it is shared with the community.
