Cisco IP Phonev

                                                            'Cisco IP Phones'

Main Procedure

Cisco IP Phones are configured to work with a call manager by default. If you want to make them work with you sip server, you should do some cracking stuffBR

*     First of all, you should download the firmware based on the telephone model. 
*     Install tftp server 
*     Extract firmware files in tftp directory 
*     Check if all files listed in SIPXXXXXXX.loads exist in your tftp directory 
*     Create a SEP<ip phone's mac address>.cnf.xml file, and set some fields (which I will mention later) in it. 
*     Set your ip as tftp server in the phone and restart it. Cisco IP phone then restarts and updates its firmware and configuration. 

Firmware

Search for cmterm and make sure that the version is correct.

Tftp Installation

You can find the documentation here.

SEP<ip phone's mac address>.cnf.xml

You should set these fields (be careful about xml format):

* <phoneLabel>: the name which is displayed on the phone screen.
* <processNodeName>: sip server ip 

Each line is configured among <sipLines></sipLines> with <line> tags. To set a sip user for a phone line, in <line button="1"> set these fields:

* <featureLabel>: which is displayed on phone screen.
* <name>: sip user name
* <displayName>: Display sip name
* <authName>: sip authentication name
* <authPassword>: sip password
* <contact>: sip number (user name)
*  <proxy>: sip server ip 
*  <loadInformation>: you should set it to SIPXXXXXXX (SIPXXXXXXX.loads without .loads)
