Hi all,
as many others, first post 
I’ve got some problem with my Cisco 7941G and Asterisk (1.8.7.0). Before listing my problem, I want to explicit that I have a Cisco 7941G (firmware: SCCP41.8-4-2S), a SIP phone (Polycom IP320 SIP or Zoiper Free, but this is not influent) and Asterisk on a Ubuntu Server.
Below there is my skinny.conf:
[general]
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
bindport=2000
dateformat=D-M-Y
keepalive=120
[lines]
[8301]
nat=yes
callerid=“Giuseppe” <8301>
regexten=8301
context=operatori_rm
linelabel=“Giuseppe”
[devices]
[support]
device=SEP001D4561xxxx
line=8301
host=192.168.200.110
When I try to make a call from SIp (Policom or Zoiper) toward the Cisco, I can’t hear anything from SIP phone but I only hear the “ready tone” (the same you can hear when you pick up the hook) for the entire connection time. The related skinny debug is the following one:
== Using SIP RTP TOS bits 184
== Using SIP RTP CoS mark 5

When I try to call the SIP phone from my 7941G, the result is the same from heared point of view, but after about 5 secs the call drops.

In the last case, the channel appears to remain open: after the call end I continue seeing the “End Call” softkey selection, but its pressure gives me back the folloing asterisk message:
[Oct 17 12:03:41] WARNING[29691]: chan_skinny.c:1674 find_subchannel_by_instance_reference: Could not find subchannel with reference ‘1’ on 'support’
Received Softkey Event: End Call(1/1)
(other note: but the call was delivered by “support-2” channel, why is it trying to kill subchannel 1??? 
)
Another asterisk message I see preriodically is the following one (maybe useful):
Skinny Client failed to authenticate in 30 seconds
[Oct 17 11:49:34] WARNING[28488]: chan_skinny.c:6329 destroy_session: Trying to delete nonexistent session 0xa30a5a8?
I would like to maintain a skinny firmware because i have some phones with their default firmware and I don’t have the SIP one…
Very last note: I also tried the same configuration with a cisco 7961 (with a bit older firmware) and it worked perfectly!
Can anyone help me?
Thanks, Giuseppe.
