Cisco 7960

Just a bump for my earlier question about BLF

how can I get BLF working here with a SIP load?

As soon as Cisco fixes their firmware bugs.

Technically you can jump through hoops & recompile a number of things to do it (see TrixBox forums somewhere in there, somebody pulled it off - mostly). Otherwise, it's been a feature we Cisco handset lovers have been waiting the better part of a couple years for them to get right in their buggy SIP stack.

It would seem they shouldn't be far off given the latest loads for the 7975/7965 and the 71/61 series we've seen.

Ok, so it is not anything I am doing wrong?
I just fugred that in the 7970 there is <featureid>2</featureid> for line
and both
<featureid>9</featureid> and
<featureid>21</featureid>
seem to work for speed dial, just can't find one that does BLF...

I am seriously considering going to Chan SCCP but from what I have found online there is no support for BLF hints from SIP, SCCP Only. I am not sure if I want SCCP only for my clients.

Has anyone got the 7914 Side Car working with SCCP? Can it see SIP Blf hints?

I did and posted about it in these forums:

Thanks for that

I read that thread as part of my research Thanks for that, you are the guru!

It is only just that I had read at voip-info that it would only display BLF hints from other SCCP extensions and I was not sure about SIP extensions.

Features of the Sccp Driver

• Control of buttons. They can be lines or speeddials.
  • Completely controled at the server.
  • 7914 add-ons are available for the 7960
• Status/BLR of other sccp extensions
  • 7914 Has lighted buttons that are red, yellow or green when defined as lines.
  • 7961 and 7941 also have lighted buttons.
• Paging of other sccp extensions
  • One way audio or two audio
  • Control the tone on the remote extensions
• Divert the call straight to voicemail or another extension without answering the call.
• Setup call forward all or call forward busy
• Voicemail indication available per line
• When calling you can make your callerid show as private by pressing the Private soft button
• Setup system wide messages
• A new function exists called SetCalledParty which lets you set the ext and number of the called party on the calling sccp phone.
• Send text message to the sccp phone.
• Park calls by pressing the soft key called Park on the phone. Must be enabled at compile time.
• Optional firmware control for some of the cisco phones.
• Register phones at multiple * boxes for failover.
• And much more. If you want a feature added, patches are welcome.

I was just hoping to clear that up, becuase we have a mix of SNOM, Polycom, AASTRA and cisco phones.

So the Cisco 79xx series doesn't really support BLF in SIP ?
