Hi Tim,<div><br></div><div>Not those phones specifically, but I did spent a lot of time getting familiar with the 7940 and 7941 in an Asterisk environment a few years back. From what I remember, Cisco will sell you a support contract for the phone that is pretty cheap, so you can just download everything you need.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Until these things boot, the biggest debugging tool you have is what files it requests from TFTP. If you can hack up a custom console cable, some of their phones have a console or aux port you can cable into and get some debug info out of. If it actually boots, you can do some tricks with authorized_keys files and/or the web interface to get debug stuff, detailed in a blog post I made about my fun: <a href="http://resolvehax.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-set-your-cisco-7940-and-7941-ip.html">http://resolvehax.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-set-your-cisco-7940-and-7941-ip.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>My experiences with the 7941 are probably the closest to your 9951 as I believe the configuration file formats etc are the same. </div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately there's a lot of trial and error, and usually if the configuration file itself has loaded and parsed successfully, then it's actually a problem with the configuration, which is much harder to identify. For example some older versions of the firmware would accept true, TRUE or 1, false FALSE or 0 in any boolean field, whereas later they're more strict, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The bright side is, once you get them configured just right, they tend to work forever. The down-side is, you're in for more haxing next time you need to reconfigure it.</div><div><br></div><div>

Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
I am just wondering if anyone here has had any experience in getting Cisco 9951's working with anything that is not Cisco Call Manager?<br>
<br>
I have managed to get the Cisco phone upgraded to the latest SIP firmware, cmterm-9951.9-2-2SR1-9.<br>
<br>
The phone boots and pulls config files provided on my TFTP server.<br>
<br>
However, the whole process fails miserably when the phone requests two files off the TFTP server, which do not exist. English_United_States/lk-sip.<u></u>jar and United_States/g4-tones.xml.<br>
<br>
I managed to get most of the files that the phone seemed to be requesting from CME_8.8_Locale.rar, however it appears that not all the files are actually there.<br>
<br>
Infact, in this file, there is no lk-sip.tar, and the only file similar to g4-tones.xml is actually g3-tones.xml.<br>
<br>
On the Cisco download page, there is the option to download a language pack for CME, po-locale-en_GB-9.2.2.1000-1.<u></u>cop.sgn, however this file can not be extracted, and seems like it will only work on a CME box.<br>
<br>
Has anyone had any luck getting these phones to work inside a non-cisco environment?<br>
<br>
Any help or pointers in the correct location would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Tim<br>
<br>
