Configure Cisco 7960 phones with Asterisk PBX

This article describe the process to configure a Cisco 7960 SIP phone with an Asterisk PBX system.

Requirements

  • Asterisk PBX or similar
  • TFTP Server
  • Cicso 7960G or similar IP phone

 

Asterisk Server Config

  • Create new SIP extension
    • Under “Applications / Extensions” choose Add Extension
  • Choose “CHAN SIP Device”
  • Enter User Extension: 702 (or whatever extension you want)
  • Under Secret: choose a password with at least 2 numbers
  • Click Save and Apply
  • Go back into config and make sure the Deny and Permit are set correctly
    • Deny: 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
    • Permit: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (or whatever matches your network)

Configure your TFTP server

  • I’m using Linux so just install a tftp-server by typing the following:
yum install tftp-server
  • the default install on Centos7 will have the tftp-server root directory under /var/lib/tftpboot
  • Put the following files in that directory

SIPDefault.cnf

SIP000A8A344598.cnf  (Fill in your MAC address after the SIPXXX.cnf)

SEP000A8A344598.cnf.xml  (Fill in your MAC address after the SEPXXX.cnf)

Install Raspbian using Linux

Raspbian Installation

Raspbian is a stripped down linux distribution that you can load on a raspberry PI. I have been using Raspberry PI’s for a number of systems in my house. The latest Raspberry PI 3 is Quad Core Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit ARMv8 processor (phew) which means it’s pretty fast. It also has WiFi built in which is HUGE (donald T) . Some uses include entertainment systems, web servers, dns servers, and phone pbx systems. So here you go:

  • Get an SD card.
  • Download latest Raspbian here.
  • Insert your SD card and get mount information.
  • Run df to find mount point and device name.
  • Unmount the SD card.
  • Format SD card in FAT 32.
sudo mkdosfs -F 32 -v /dev/mmcblk0
  • Copy .img file to SD card using dd.
sudo dd bs=1M if="/home/linux/2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.img" of=/dev/mmcblk0
