I would like to get in contact with users/consultants who are or have
worked with the Cisco phones and Asterisk to trade information.

Cisco has reluctantly made SIP available on their phones and most of the
information on voip-info and other wiki's appears to be reverse
engineered. There is a wealth of information out there which is
terrific.

I have a client with about 40 phones composed of 7970, 7960 and 7906
phones. I've upgraded all of these to SIP 8-3-3SR2S and the basic
functions are working.

My current questions are:

1. How to remotely reboot 7970s. I have both web access and SSH
access to the phones. The instructions I have for SSH are to use
(1) user/pass (or whatever is in the confg) and then (2)
debug/debug. Surprisingly "reset" is not a valid command to
restart the phone. There doesn't appear to be a reset on the web
page, maybe there's a hidden URL?
2. BusyLampField?

Thanks in advance.

Are the 7921G phones convertable to SIP too?

Not sure on #1, but #2 is not possible on SIP.

Regarding #2, I found this link:
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Presence+for+Cisco+79x1+Phones

It?s unfortunate that the requirement is such a departure from the
industry approach.

Busy Lamp Field IS available on SIP.

If it is not, I cannot imagine how my GXP-2000 does it.

What Lacy meant to say was that BLF was not supported in the Cisco 79xx
SIP implementation or if it is implemented, then it's not documented.

I think the poster was specifically referring to Cisco's SIP. Cisco
likes to cripple their SIP loads.

We have about 200 79x1's running SIP w/ asterisk and we are very pleased
despite some of the non-standard things Cisco does.
In answer to question 1 the only way we have found to reboot the phone
remotely is shutdown the port on the POE switch. This will drop the
PC's network as well if it is plugged into the phone.
Question 2 I would like to know the answer to myself. I would be
curious to know if it works with the SIP image in call manager.

Same here.

We have about 500 phones, from both 79x1 and 79x0 series;
I posted the same two questions twice some time ago but never
got an answer: I do reboot phones by power cycling them too,
while I've been able to use blf with sccp images only.

Furthermore, XML Services on 7940/7960 seem to be broken
or at least to behave in different way than the one
described in the sdk documentation.

I needed the reboot feature to implement extension mobility but
I wasn't able to find a clean way. Power cycling is not always
an usable method, as many phones are powered by the AC adaptor.
I think I will able to put my hands on an UCM6.1 box very soon
to try that out and eventually grab the xml profiles.
As soon as I get the info I'll surely post it on this ML and on
voip-info too.

Alberto.

The documentation of how to use the 79xx series' phones and features
with Asterisk is really hard to find and put together. The higher end
phones like 7970 are more like converged PC+phone, a thin client to
telephony and network apps. But it's really hard to target it as a
development and deployment platform because the docs and techniques are
so obscure.

There seems to be a fair amount of experts in this asterisk-users list.
And there is a fair amount of info in lots of different voip-info wiki
pages (and elsewhere, including the Cisco website labyrinth). If people
in this discussion could update the wiki pages with current and more
complete info, others (like me, with less info to contribute but willing
to edit for usability) could revise the wiki pages to be more accessible
and less redundant/isolated. Announcing wiki revisions on this -users
list also makes them easier to find, especially since it gives Google
two pages to find.

relevant to a 79xx phone; please link them together if you add info to a
different one):
