Unable to register cisco 7960

Hi All, hope someone here can help me. I have setup asterisk and it appears to be working great using softphones, but I’m trying to get some 7960G’s working, but I’m failing. I’ve been playing with this for days, and no luck, I can’t make / receive any calls on the 7960 (either internal or external) but the softphones work fine (using the same accounts).

The phones (soft and 7960) and the asterisk server are all on the same LAN / subnet.

Please can you have a look at my config to see what I’m doing wrong?

SIPDefault.cnf

[code]image_version: P0S3-08-12-00

here is the cnf file for one of the mac’s on the phone

Phone Label (Text desired to be displayed in upper right corner)

phone_label: "The Canteen " ; add a space at the end, looks neater[/code]

The config is copying to the phone as the labels are updating, but there is a little cross next to the phone symbol next to the line button. And is asterisk I can see IP Phones online is only showing the softphones.

You need to do some debugs in Asterisk.

For start enable SIP debugging (sip set debug on) and copy/paste the Cisco SIP registration process here on the forum. You disable SIP debugging in Asterisk with “sip set debug off”.

Thanks for the advice, I’ve now resolved the problem, it was the time and date was massively wrong on my asterisk box.

All working now :smile:

Cool. So nice to hear that you fixed the problem.
