Cisco 7940

[brononius]

bit by bit we get there...

I've got 'plutoSip' on top of my phone and the extension 203...
No figuring out how to work with it...

Think that i'll create a nice walkthrough for my other phones...

damn it. Don't you understand, that if you make a proper #@)%(#@)%#@ device template, that you don't have to make elaborate articles on the wiki?!

I'm getting TIRED of screaming this at the top of my lungs! SPEND TIME STUDYING THE EXISTING DEVICE TEMPLATES AND SCRIPTS!!!

I would try to get the SCCP firmware working with the 7940 first. If that doesn't work, then try the SIP firmware. FYI, you can brick the phone trying to install the SIP firmware.

I understand you, but on the other side, it shouldn't be this hard to get it up and running.
That's the whole reason why a lot of persons stay at MS...  
This beside...

Those scripts are generated by the configure_cisco7970.pl script. This needs to be adapted for the 7940.

Okay, back to the drawing panel. What i see is that i've got 2 options, or i change all phones towards sip, or figure out the sccp...
And since sccp is already on the phones, i'll give this another shot.

What i can't get working is that perl script (configure_cisco7940.pl). I don't see how (when/where) i need to use this...

I think that i think to much. 
When i go through that pl script, i see a lot of sip configuration? Wasn't it just not sip? 

I run

Code:

./configure_cisco7940.pl -d PhoneCubilicum -i 192.168.80.252 -m 00:11:5C:93:AF:D1

Where configure_cisco7940.pl is a copy of the configure_cisco7960.pl without phonelines 3 till 6.
Where PhoneCubilicum is the name i've got in the database (changed via http://localhost)
where 192.168.80.252 the ip is of the phone
where 00:11:5C:93:AF:D1 the mac is of the phone

and get as result

Code:

Unknown column 'PhoneCubiculum' in 'where......

Sorry that i don't copy the whole error (i'm typing this on another computer).


Thanks to put me on the right tracks...

I've put 2 phones on SIP, and was able to get them get an extension from linuxMCE. 
Once, the MAC is in the template, it's all straight forwards.

So it seems that the SIP / SCCP story is the main reason for the confusion?


Strange thing is that i've got now 2 phones with number 201 and 202. But they can't call eachother? Hmmm, that's a problem for tomorrow.  I'm already glad that there's something usefull on the phonescreen...
