SOLVED SIP Cisco 7960 Nightmare!

[notaloafer]

Okay, so I've got everything nailed down configuration-wise, but I cannot get past the "File Auth Fail: CTLFile.tlv" it loads the "loads" file, etc.

The version I am trying to use is P003-07-2-00

I tried creating a blank "CTLSEP0015F9ED463F.tlv" file to bypass the error, but the phone still will not get past the error message above.

Any suggestions? I know it is pulling the correct files from t*f*t*p.

I'm not an expert on the 7960 as this and the 7940 was the first generation IP phones from Cisco. By the time we got to 7941/7961 (and I joined the party!) they'd made some massive differences to how XML played a much bigger part.

From what I know of these phones the CTLFile.tlv is a red herring - in other words the phone does not really need it. You need the software files in t*f*t*p, a dialplan and the phone configuration files as a minimum. If you are sure you have all the required files in your t*f*t*p folder then there's probably an error in a config file. From personal experience with the 7941 they are really picky - one wrong syntax error anywhere in the file and it halts without giving you a clue where the problem is.

I've bought root of a t*f*t*p server that's show in a YouTube video for $18

I can share it with you if you want to give a try to another setup, it's supposed to work out of the box.

I couldn't get a 7949 working yet as it needs config via t*f*t*p but I am in the process.

Message me if you need it.

Thanks.

I definitely wouldn't be spending money on any config/t*f*t*p files for this setup - all the settings to get t*f*t*p working on pretty much any flavour of Incredible PBX are all within this forum, and the config files for most 79xx handsets (but not the 7940/7960 I'm afraid) I have written and they're available in the resources section of this forum.

You will need the P003-8-xx-xx.bin, .sbn, .sb2, .loads, OS79xx.txt, SIPXXXXXXXX.cnf, SIPdefault.cnf files in tftpboot. Also depending on the firmware that you currently have you can't jump from say 8.5.3 - 8.12.0 you will have to go up in increments. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean exactly, lol

Right now I am trying to flash version P003-07-2-00 and all of my phones have the Universal Application loader, so according to Cisco that image should work?

The files below are what I have in my t*f*t*p directory (server is confirmed working by the way and is the same address as my PIAF):

Those are all the exact entries of my configuration files. Anyone see any glaring errors? Thanks in advance!

 

[phonebuff]

Well,

To begin with you are using SCCP firmware to load SIP connectivity -- Definitely will not work --

Current Versions
In current versions, the following conventions are used:
•

SCCP firmware—P003xxyyzzww.bin, where x represents the major version, y represents the major subversion, z represents the maintenance version, and w represents the maintenance subversion.
•

SIP firmware—P0S3-xx-y-zz, where x represents the major version, y represents the minor version, and z represents the subversions.
•

MGCP firmware—P0M3-xx-y-zz, where M is the third character. The major, minor, and subversions for MGCP are consistent with the SIP naming convention.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7960g_7940g/mgcp/firmware/matrix/frmwrup.html

 

[notaloafer]

My bad - I am loading SIP firmware, I just renamed the files and removed the S and added a 0 ... I'm guessing that was a no-no? I'm fixing that now. See anything else? I'll make sure to update the corresponding entries in the files too.

 

[notaloafer]

When I extract the zip file, I get the following files:

P003-07-2-00.bin
OS79XX.TXT
P003-07-2-00.sbn
P0S3-07-2-00.sb2
P0S3-07-2-00.loads

Why would it use the S on some of the files and the 0 on the others? Is that some kind of naming convention error? It does it no matter what version I extract.

 

[notaloafer]

Okay I got way further this time (I feel really stupid for renaming the files!!). It said it successfully loaded the thing, then the "SIP" icon came up in the top right of the screen, then it restarted again, did a "Requesting Configuration" then the system said "Resetting" and now it's back to square one again (keeps looping over and over again). I'm guessing a mis-configuration at this point?

It gets to "Requesting Configuration" then it promptly rushes to "Resetting" at which point it starts all over again.

Thanks again guys!!

 

[notaloafer]

GOT IT!!! Had one wrong line to change (had the wrong file in SipDefault.cnf) and now it's booted!

I love you guys!

For anyone's future reference: don't be dumb like me and rename the files!

 

[Albert S]

When I extract the zip file, I get the following files:

P003-07-2-00.bin
OS79XX.TXT
P003-07-2-00.sbn
P0S3-07-2-00.sb2
P0S3-07-2-00.loads

Why would it use the S on some of the files and the 0 on the others? Is that some kind of naming convention error? It does it no matter what version I extract.

Is this all I'd need to get a 7940 working with PIAF?

I know I need to have a file with phone's MAC?

Is there a list of files I need to have to install SIP on to a Cisco 7940 and then connect it to PIAF?

 

[notaloafer]

The 7940 and 7960 are very similar, so I would guess it would work... you can get your phone's MAC on the back of the handset usually. You have to get the firmware working before you are going to be able to load anything else.

 

[snarpatroid]

The 7940 and 7960 are practically identical both in terms of hardware and firmware - the only difference is line keys. You should be able to interchange config files (putting in the correct MAC's of course) with no problem.

 

[notaloafer]

Good to hear because I just ordered a couple of 7940s too!
